I often get asked questions about various 30-60-90 and more food kits, buckets of prepared food that store for years as a quick and easy way to be prepared.
Now I’ve not tried the food in very many of these kits and so I can’t really say if the food is good or bad, but here’s the problem as I see with these prepared meal kits. Say you have a 60 day kit that comes with 10 different dinners six of each dinners A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J and since you never tasted their food the odds are that say there will be that there will be 2 to 3 of there meal you really like 4 or 5 that are ok, 1 or 2 you can choke down if you have too and another 1 or 2 you wouldn’t feed your dog!
That means two things one you run the good chance that twenty percent or more of your storage you won’t eat and two after a while what you have left is mostly stuff you don’t like and won’t eat unless forced and that will get OLD very fast.
Me I think that you are better off storing 100% things you know you will eat and in as much a variety as possible. That’s my thoughts.
Serving MREs to troops, I would see some guys toss most of the calories because they wouldn't eat the entree.
