On the one hand, it sounds like something out of a dreadfully dark, dystopian SciFi novel.
On the other hand, it should become standard fare (24/7/365) for inmates in Guantanamo Bay.
I just outfitted a survival bag for my personal plane and I purchase a box of mainstay bars. They are basically the same thing. I ate one out of curiosity and it’s not half bad.
I do believe this was invented in military messes many years ago.

Make our prisons more like the Japanese Prisons and feed them this stuff and we will be starting out on the way to making this country better in no time.

Excellent! My idea was to feed all prisoners organ scraps, oatmeal, and a vitamin pill, but this is virtually the same.
Yeah!
Looks better than fruitcake.
Dining Critic Tries Cornbread, the Prison Food for Misbehaving Presidents
She served it in bowls and my father, who has a high metabolism and will eat anything, asked what it was and she said, "It is Glump Stew."
Nobody touched it.
We had Kentucky Fried Chicken that night.
Make it freely available everywhere and to everyone. Those who don't need it won't eat it; those who refuse to eat it because it's not tasty... well, they clearly don't need food assistance. Unlike food stamps, it can't be used as cuirrency in underground economies... nobody is goign to trade freely available nutraloaf for crack or cash.
If this stuff causes constipation, as the author says, or hints at, it’s not right to make it the only food prisoners can get. That is cruel, not just unusual.
When I was in the Marines in the early 1980s, the least favorite MRE among us was “chicken loaf”. Perhaps that was the precursor to this “nutraloaf.”
“If you want the recipe, ask me.”
I used to make something like this except I used potatoes and teriyaki sauce. It was actually pretty good. Teriyaki sauce makes all the difference, I guess.
When we did a self contained 3 week patrol our customized aka bastardized MRE was stripped down an we added large slices of fruitcake from Collins street bakery in Corsicana TX an Beef Jerky made near FT Lewis / McCord AFB in WA.
Also a mix of wheat germ an oatmeal with raisins.
We brought food back in some cases...
3000+ calories per ration pack we estmated. If this nutraloaf would keep in normal temperatures no doubt DOD would have an equally bad ration for such long term patrols....
