I wonder if Mr. Lawrence from NPR would do if he had to survive in a combat zone on nothing but MRE's for days at a time. I'm sure his description of military food and the military would change considerably.

I'm thinking the same would happen if he was in a weather emergency, too, with FEMA providing a reasonable facsimile ....
P.S. - Sorry, mods - failed to spot the "MRE Review" section. Feel free to move there if you see fit.
