RE: Got Food? In Venezuela a Lot of People Don't!
One of my long-time internet friends is a hermit in the desert and has posted some reviews of 40+ year old stored Mountain House brand meals.

The stuff does last a long time, but I do not recommend food that needs water added to eat. In emergencies water will be scarce. Most of your food should not require cooking too since cooking may be dangerous and draw in unnecessary attention.
I've never tried any of the freeze dried "emergency foods" myself. But I think they could have a place in emergency preps, because emergencies won't all necessarily be the same. There may be plenty of water in some cases, and maybe everyone will be cooking in their yards. I think people make the mistake of thinking every emergency will be The Zombie Apocalypse, when most will be more mundane.
For the most part, I just buy more of what I normally buy and eat anyway. That way I don't have to say "this is emergency rations; this is the groceries".
Yeah, a lot of people fall into the trap of spending hundreds on such food, and then it goes to waste due to not being eaten. I just hope to help people avoid that situation.
