“That’s right - despite the verbiage, it’s not against the law to sell them.”
Military MREs only come from ....wait for it.....wait for it......THE MILITARY
The companies making them don’t sell them to non-military because they’ll jeopardize the government contract which prohibits them from selling MILITARY products outside of MILITARY channels.
So the ones you buy on ebay are being sold outside military channels. Whoever is selling them either stole them or is violating orders to sell them.
But enough of the technicalities, how were those 20 yr old ebay MREs stored?
MREs and other shelf stabilized food lose nutrients the longer they are stored.
Everything loses nutrients the longer it is stored, that’s not news.
“Enough of the technicalities.”
You brought it up, not me. LOL!! I can’t help it if you’re mistaken. Thanks for playing.
