Answer 7

Easily. One store would probably last half your lifetime if it was full!

Answer 8

It might not spoil in terms of caloric value, but you would be long dead of scurvy because the vitamin C doesn't keep in canned foods or freeze-dried foods, at least over several decades.  You would have to supplement the stored food with fresh game, fruits and vegetables.

Answer 9

Well it will because there is bound to be food in some part of the world that is edible- such as all the fruit in forests -and you could die of hunger before you reached it!
