Stockpiling food for an emergency is a smart and responsible thing to do. However, if you live in an apartment or a neighborhood with close quarters, your stockpiling habits could have a major impact on the people around you. Certain types of food can create strong, unpleasant odors. They can also attract a host of unwanted pests. If you are not careful, your personal food stash could become a major nuisance that will make your neighbors hate you.
