Very true, as I can also. Love my Pampered Chef rice cooker and oatmeal I could live on along with water

I agree. It's much cheaper to have canned meat, vegetables, rice and beans. I have a propane grill and cooker, several full tanks, and a fire pit with plenty of oak. I even have a clean water source close by. I can boil it to be safe.

Yeah, I have charcoal grill and plenty of Cowboy Charcoal. I love grilling and using my smoker. Some lean turkey and hamburger from family run place I walk to and garden with peppers, jalapeños, tomatoes, etc. plus plenty canned by lady and I
Plus having a NutriBullet I can make fresh juice

Great way to get rid of the lowest quality ingredients. Marketing departments don't sleep!

Whats the point? I suppose they work on scare tactic marketing. I have a few cans of beans and a grocery store down the street if any emergency "pops up"
That's an "emergency" supply for a weekend trip to the Hamptons when you just don't have time for anything else.

Lots of carbohydrates, but no protein.
A few cans of Corned Beef, Vienna sausages or s.p.a.m. would add some needed protein.
Yes on the protein and fat.

I thought that was cole slaw in front at first and it seemed to me to be a weird choice for survival food...

This stuff is real big in Utah. Many want to be prepared for the "worst". (Let's define worst-Job loss, earthquakes, floods, etc). There are stores that specialize in this stuff and that is all they sell.
If a true "emergency "pops up" as you say-your local market could very well have bare shelfs by the time you get there-THAT IS WHAT EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS is all about.
Food is really the least of everyone's concern-since most have a half-decent stocked pantry-it's potable water that will be your issue. The stuff in your water heater/toilet tanks won't last that long for an average family.
BTW-I hope you have a manual can opener-you know the electric one may not work for those cans of beans if the electricity is out!

Good Secret Santa gift for a fat friend.
I always found these things rather pointless. In virtually any S.H.T.F. situation I see water being a far more valuable commodity. For the most part you need power to have access to running water. That's not to say a handful of people don't have a hand pump well but water just takes up so much space and it's heavy. Most people would have trouble moving a significant amount of water anyways.
Yes these meals can serve a purpose but I always feel they take the most important necessity for granted.

Exactly-our local Walmart sells 55-gallon plastic drums for water storage. As I mentioned-emergency preparedness is a big thing here.
There are alot of naive thinkers on some of the above posts. You know-it will never happen to them.....

I don't expect others to do for me what I should have done myself.
Don't drive through high water just because I don't know of any other way either.
I used to follow a daily site posting "Darwin awards" No shortage of material
