        Meals Ready to Eat...the latest thing for Dept of Defense personnel to
consume while away from normal sources of sustinence.  These high calorie and
sometime high fat meals in a bag are designed to keep a military person in the
field properly fueled for the mission.  Even 1 meal a day can provide up to
3000 calories.  Some are fairly tasty and others are terrible.  Some even come
with a chemicl heating pouch that only requires water.  Look for them at your
local military surplus store or base commissary (if you are active duty like
myself).  Bon Apetit!
