The Greeks have olives to live on. Have you seen the Huckabee ad for survival food? I think that is pretty funny as I cant imagine Mike Huckabee surviving on those MRE type packets..
I keep them on the sailboat though. It is great to have some of them around when you need them. It’s probably a good idea for many different situations.
Importantly, you should never feed a politician with an MRE, as they cause constipation, and they are already so full of it if they cannot release pressure, they may messily detonate, the gases of which may be ignited by their hot air.
Also, you should never feed a politician after Midnight, as in many cases they only consume alcohol after 10am.
