Speaking of cycling - I look at it a bit like bicycling, where more collective lifespan is lost from inactivity than accidents, on average.
Not that I won't wear a helmet, or having some emergency rations.

I suppose I was thinking only of storing a cache of emergency food for a long duration, but cycling through food regularly means you should consider storing food you want to eat regularly.
One of my coworkers cycles through canned food with a first-in, first-out method. I doubt his food has the shelf-life of freeze dried food, but then you don't need extreme longevity when you're cycling through it.
