As you get more and more into preparedness, you’re going to want to store bulk foods and usually that means the “big 3″ of rice, beans, and wheat. In my opinion, that should really be expanded to the “big 4″ and include oats as well since they are so multi-functional. This article on 10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Store Oats points out some very good reasons why oats should be a big part of your preps.

Have you ever looked at a recipe book made during the WW2 rationing period ?
Its very interesting ! they tell you what to use to extend and substitute things that were in short supply . Oatmeal to extend meat made me think of this .
Never laid my hands on an old-school cookbook but I have to imagine that they would be very good references for making use of many bulk foods, especially in ways that we wouldn’t consider these days… such as extending meat. Too be we’re losing so much knowledge.
Interesting thing was , that some of the books were actually put out by the US Government to help housewives make the most of the rationing . I saw one at an antique store , I kicked myself in the ass for not getting it , because they are very hard to find . I bet if you were to dig on the internet there might be some that people have posted , fortunately for us , a lot of people are into historical preservation .
