That’s a pretty subjective question and obviously depending on whom you speak with you will get a different answer. Just like canned goods, you either like them or you don’t. Many people feel that MREs are just as good if not better than canned food. MREs are very convenient and there are people who enjoy them enough to eat them regularly when they need a quick meal for lunch or dinner. THE MRE SHOP are designed to be as home-style cooked meals. They are designed to last. Home cooked meal won’t last more than a week, THE MRE SHOP will last 5 years or more and they are surprisingly good.
