Calories vs. health in stockpile?
I just went into our pantry for a can of peaches, and stopped to compare heavy syrup vs. light syrup fruits. The heavy syrup adds 50% more calories, but they consist entirely of corn syrup.
My inclination is to stockpile the healthiest foods I can, and just make sure I have enough to supply the calories. I understand that there's a line (nothing but ramen and cooking oils would be calorie-dense and totally useless, for example) but I'm not sure where it is. Would it be wiser to go for the heavy-calorie version of most things, even if they're just adding junky filler?
