Emergency Preparedness: Food Storage

It is a good time of year to consider catastrophe.

The other week my dad recommended a certain product to me for food storage. I began doing more thinking about what good food storage items are — for someone with my diet.
   Consideration A: Grains are the staple for food storage as I know it. (Now "knew it".)
   Consideration B: Rotation is a primary principle of preparedness; to rotate, store what you eat and eat what you store.
   Consideration C: Mine is a diet of animals and vegetables, of no grains, of few pulses or legumes (lentils and limas allowed), of no sugars except fruit and honey.
   ==
   Problem: I cannot realistically rotate something I don't eat, and I don't eat the common storage items, so I can't use the old methods, and I don't know any other way.

But who am I to not do something because I don't know what to do? Not I! Time to make up another way.

I am making two lists, one of traits (what do I want of my food storage items?), another of items so far (what do I already eat with those traits?). I shall post them.
   Did you notice that I said "items so far"? SO FAR! I request ideas. Pretty please, with a dried cherry on top.
