Food production, food preservation, food storage - A three legged stool

Periodically someone will come up to me and denigrate one of the three things discussed here, while praising the others. For example, someone will tell me that food preservation is simply too much work, and not worth their time, but assure me they do have a garden and store food for a crisis. Other times, someone will tell me they don't bother to garden because "other people will just come and steal your garden" or "gardening doesn't pay." Sometimes food storage is the target - after all, the commenters observe, eventually stored food runs out, right?
