>>Try that ADM propaganda somewhere else.

“ADM propoganda” LOL.

That why the US Military bothered to develop the MRE instead of just feeding troops a water bag and a stick of butter?

You’re really sounding silly defending the SAME PEOPLE who have made us the MOST UNHEALTHY COUNTRY in the world.

Next thing you’ll be defending the FOOD PYRAMID. LOL!!!

Anyone who’s studied history knows that armies that don’t consume grains are better in combat than grain fed armies. The Mongols and other nomadic people had major advantages over their opponents because they didn’t have to eat every 11 hours thus supply lines were much less of a problem for them.

But carbs are much, much cheaper than meats and fats, and much easier to store and transport so that’s what most armies run on.
