Yes, it does. You can’t even tell what is in an MRE until you open it…so refusing them beforehand makes no sense. Not only that, but they actually taste decent. They are real meals aside from the vegatable bread and usually have cookies or M&M’s in the package. It amazes me that people would even be so quick to believe that just because someone said it.
The ones we got last year even had the msin course printed on the outside of the bag so you can pick and choose what you wanted…it seems very strange that anyone would turn these down, even my 11 year old sister ate them without complaining. Hell i would eat them everyday, no real cooking and TONS of calories…[/quote]
Do it everyday for 6 months and you might change your mind. I find it hard to believe that hungry people would turn down an MRE…unless they just got back from deployment that is.

All those “sources” are from a liberal website dedicated to exposing the “lies” in conservative radio.
Hmmmm…makes me wonder why you don’t just use MoveOn.org as “proof” that Limbaugh is a liar.
Opinion is not proof. I’ve listened to him since 1992 - at worst, he’s an opinionated windbag. But to call him a liar and have it stick you are going to have to do better than citimg MediaMatters.org., or whatever left-wing website you are quoting.
But those sources also provided audio clips. Are you saying that it was imposter? My goodness, this is worse than I thought! Cloned newscasters!? EEEEK![/quote]
Please don’t ever use the term “EEEEEK!” again, it doesn’t fit your image. For some reason it made me picture an elephant running from a mouse.
I ate some many MRE’s while in the USMC. They weren’t that bad once you became an expert in cooking them. For example, I used to take the chicken a la king packet, hold over a little fire, get it nice and hot, and it was great. Same with a lot of other MREs. Ate them cold many times too. The dehdrated pork patty—I could never get used to that one, though.
MREs are actually a delicacy compared to some of the stuff I had to eat at Marine Corps Survival School. I’d tell ya but then I’d have PETA breathing down my neck.
