The Truth About Halal MRE

By Lessie Kaufman


Man, to be able to live a life that is fulfilling as it is comfortable, has to comply with everything that is found on the famed hierarchy of needs. Among the most basic ones pertains to food. If he goes without it long enough, it may cause his death. This particular need replenishes the body of the energy and nutrients it used up just to be able to go through all the activities of daily living, as well as the few ones that were not included in his daily routine.

Food takes so many forms to suit the preference of different kinds of eaters, even the picky ones. One can boil, grill, broil, steam, bake, saute, and fry stuff so that he will be able to consume it, along with all the positive things that it brings. But, getting all these to cook takes so much time, time which could be used in doing very important stuff. To remedy the said dilemma, the Halal MRE is born.

Meal, ready to eat or MRE is the food ration developed by the United States Military to respond to the basic need for food by its fighters. This comes in the form of lightweight packaging that contains a full meal that can satisfy a single person. This is often given out to military men assigned in remote areas where safe food and cooking provisions are not available, if not downright impossible.

The earlier version of the said ration is placed in differently sized cans. These canned goods are given the moniker meal, combat, individual rations or MCI. But, since there are so many of them, getting each one to be opened would entail a lot of time. This will never do, since time is of the essence in these situations.

In lieu to the MCI, the MRE does not contain any can inside. Instead, each pack contains differently measured sachets that contain different stuff. The biggest one is often the main course or the entree. One can choose which dish he likes, such as spaghetti or beef stew. There are also vegetarian options for the diet conscious. Mashed potatoes, corn, and rice come in the form of side dishes. Spreads such as peanut butter and jelly are available to make the bread packs more appetizing.

This also does not mean that these soldiers have to drink plain water all the time. They are provided with energy drink mixes, tea, and even coffee. Condiments such as creamer and sugar come with them, as well as some seasoning and sauce in some MREs. Flameless ration heaters ensure that every meal gets cooked enough to be eaten.

Despite people having thoughts about it, eating from food rations are not at all bad. They are even nutritious and can easily fulfill the needs of the body more effectively as compared to the many foods that others eat on a daily basis. Each pack is made with consultation from a nutritionist.

Aside from being nutritious, they are also effective and convenient. Each package allows one to be able to enjoy a full meal without many procedures that has to be undertaken. These ready to eat packs really serve their purpose, to provide people with nourishment in an environment that inhibits it.

Due to the success of the MRE, it is already being marketed by certain companies. There abounds a lot of instant food products today. Military or not, everyone can enjoy homemade goodness without much effort.
