and you only have to pay S&H (I never checked out how much that would cost). It was a three week supply and out of curiosity I checked it out...It was FREE! Basically it was made by one of the survivalist companies which was the first red flag and all I needed to know to stay far, far away. But I did want to see what the"food" was and so checked it out. Basically they were dehydrated carbs: mac and cheese, dried stew, rice and whatever, and all of it was super high in calories and salt. I got an emergency backpack from the Red Cross over 20 years ago for earthquake preparedness (I live in CA). It had silver packages of so called food. Out of curiosity again I opened one to taste test it...YUK! YUK! YUK!!!!!
I will eat anything too..like balutes (a popular Filipino snack of 18 day old duck or chicken embryos in their shells). This freeze dried stuff was like a block of yeast only far worse. I would happily eat dirt from the back yard over that junk any day of the week. Dirt would be like caviar compared to that stuff.
