this is great news, I fully believe that many of the chemical preservative additives to food are the cause of todays intestinal maladys and digestion related illness such as diabetes... we create food that resists bacterial digestion and then wonder why we can't digest it...
PS I have Crones - a food/intestine cronic illness am example is simple chicken noodle cassarole, my moms homemade with dry noodles and fresh cooked chicken.. I can eat an entire cassarole, no problem.. but if I have just a single serving of frozen banquet or stoeffer version.. I have a crones flare reaction... what is different about egg noodles and chicken?? the chemical addtives

#2 - Wed Dec 14, 2011 11:03 PM ESTno.. you missed the point... instead of ADDING anti-bacterial chemicals, that would stop decay for thousands of years like a twinkie.. they went the other way, and SUBTRACTED from the sandwich what baceria need to live, water and oxygen..
pretty clever to add iron filings that absorb any oxygen that may enter the package..
artifical food subractives.. ??? lol :-)
of course I don't know how much I trust a soldier in the fields assesment of an MRE as being tasty is really saying much about it's taste? as compared to the other MRE's??
