Maybe more an organic vs. chemical flame war <g>

When we hauled horses to horse shows we lived out of a cabover camper.  I
stocked canned beans, tomato sauce/paste/stewed, rice, pasta, packaged
sauces, dehydrated fruits and veggies.  Garlic, onion and celery powder,
salt, pepper, chili powder, cinnamon, sugar, oats.  Instant bouillion
packets (better than cubes).

With a stop at a market on the way you can toss together lots of meals with
little or no trouble.  With the above you can make up a quick soup, a
spaghetti dinner, chili, etc.
