MRE Meals

Make certain your family is prepared for any natural disaster by purchasing MRE Meals in advance. A recent television broadcast about Hurricane Katrina on the fourth anniversary of the devastating storm passing, left many people with the reminder of how important it is to stock up on emergency food supplies. Many people living in the south were caught off guard when the approaching tropical storm strengthened to a hurricane in a single day before striking Miami.

Hurricane Katrina goes down in the record books as the costliest and one of the five most deadly hurricanes in US history. It is easy to become complacent and procrastinate stocking up for disruptive events in our lives. As the calm before the storm, it is best to take advantage of the lull beforehand by storing meals, ready to eat, in case of emergencies.

An important question on everyone's mind who decides to stock up food for survival is of course how the freeze-dried meals taste! From the rousing answers of soldiers in the field, the survival food containing the pork chops or barbeque pork ribs seem to be rated near the top of the list of favorites. Although, in my circle of friends, we always seem to fight over the beef patty!

Another of the MRE Meals picked best tasting by consumers is the beef ravioli selection. It usually comes with peanut butter and jelly. I would be remiss of fans of the jelly, not to stress how good it tastes! The manufacturers did not forget dessert! The pound cake is especially good.

Each MRE meal contains between 1200 and 1400 calories. The high calorie content in MRE meals is appreciated when the ability to cook is limited due to damage sustained from disasters such as tornadoes and earthquakes. Directions are simple, you put water in the bag, your food is heated up, and dinner is served!

Recently, a documentary on the History channel showed MRE foods being made in a sanitary factory setting. There were older women, reminding me of lunchroom ladies from school, in hairnets and disposable gloves, slicing, dicing, and baking the freeze-dried food. Many companies who manufacture MRE meals also make brand-name food.

Never fear, if you are veteran from the Vietnam era, MRE meals are much tastier than the Krations of long ago.
