They are getting rid of beef taco, maple pork patty and jalapeno beef patty for disgusting entrees. Also starting to force plant based items down the troops throats. People need to start speaking up when you see something that is not right. The plant based crap threw me over the edge man. They said the troops asked for it. I dont think they did but if they did, are people really this stupid today???

There are some articles on the army website. Im not good with computer so I don't know how to post links. I typed in "New US mre" and the results will be at the top of the page

i don't even know what the fuck they're talking about

they mentioned new plant based animal cookies...

animal cookies are made out of flour and sugar, which are already plant based

Disgusting Entrees such as Thai Chicken Curry and Buffalo Chicken? I'm actually excited to try both, beef picadillo less so, I will miss the taco though.

I did a quick Google search and 'plant based' means it doesn't have any animal products in it, which means there's no milk or butter in the new cookies.
Sounds like they are trying to make some vegan friendly items as an option. The new cookies seem healthier but probably don't taste as good.

Overall I think the US MRE's are slowly becoming more healthy as time goes on. There's whole wheat snack bread now, and some sugary desserts have been replaced with things like apple sauce and other fruit puree's.

how far we've fallen

this is why i collect old rations from back when the world still made sense and they provided you with cigarettes and sugar

The coffee was also better back then

Vegetarian MREs have been around for decades. 2 out of every case of 12. I personally never saw any demand to speak of. I knew of one (1) guy that was a vegetarian and he wasn’t militant about it.

“Healthy” has always been subject to a lot of debate. Hydrogenated vegetable oils are highly processed, “no trans fat” and the like. After careful dieting and intermittent fasting, counting calories to a very precise level I quickly determined what specific or certain foods tear up my gut and cause intestinal distress. Animal fats, coconut oil, butter, palm kernal lard etc not only taste far better but they don’t tend to go rancid.

MREs are made to a price point, and they use the cheapest ingredients they can that will meet approval and specifications. Soybean, Rapeseed, Crisco etc are OK for lubing bearings or making paint or adhesives but they are not very good food items.
