Freeze Dried Food Versus MRE

By Kevin Taylor

There are a lot of people looking at survival food and supplies for the first time due to concerns about an economic depression.

At first you can see MRE as a good choice as it is totally ready to eat. MRE or meals ready to eat are the type of food rations the military uses.

There are two general types of MRE out there; military and commercial. The military version is for the military and it prohibited from re-sale to consumers. You can find military MRE on eBay. Commercial MRE comes from the same food companies that produce the military MRE except that it has been branded as for consumer use. Some of the contents are different and MRE enthusiasts generally prefer military MRE however commercial MRE has sufficient calories so that your daily requirement RDA can be met with 2 meals.
