"
Elder Ezra Taft Benson, eventually the 13th president of the church, said in 1973: "The Lord has warned us of famines, but the righteous will have listened to prophets and stored at least a year's supply of survival food. . . . The revelation to store food may be as essential to our temporal salvation today as boarding the ark was to the people in the days of Noah."
