A great very many of us work hard every day to help avoid collapse, but I would still like to put in a good word for coconut oil.

Though coconut oil is unfortunately not a source of omega-3 fat (which is required for a balanced fat intake and proper development/functioning), some coconut oils have a shelf life of 5 years and can be rotated in your pantry with daily use, as unlike most oils that go rancid under high heat, coconut oil is good for cooking with. You can also use it for skin/hair and it has anti-microbial anti-viral anti-parisitic anti-fungal anti-candida properties.
