Tips for civilian consumption vs. health
Posted: Tue Jan 15, 2019 10:16 pm
I'm in a bit of a housing situation and might end up being forced to camp for 30-60 days. I'm aware of the study the U.S. Army was trying to conduct regarding constant use up to 21 days, etc. I bought a case of supposedly legit Warfighter rations with a 2017 pack date, 2020 inspection date.
1. How is it sellers are selling these on amazon with the resale restriction clearly printed? Are there possible counterfeits?
2. What is the longest period of time a deployed soldier is typically expected to resort to MRE's?
3. Aside from the higher calorie count, are there particular advantages to military MRE's beyond shelf life and package durability?
4. Are there chemical preservatives or other potentially unhealthy ingredients not found in civilian rations I should know about?
5. Do military MRE's make use of hydrogenated fats? I've noticed civilian ones like Mountain House do.
6. Are there reasons aside from menu availability to choose civilian rations over military? I've noticed they don't have many calories and I'd have to eat twice as much so I'm wondering if they're even more cost effective than military rations despite being cheaper.
7. Are there any supplements I might want to include with ration use that would help with digestive issues or other help mitigate any issues they could cause?
