A lot of times it’s not a meal as you would think in the traditional sense. Last year I did some charity work packing these meals, and it was essentially a calorie dense porridge that would be eaten for one meal a day. Think rice, dried vegetables, dried protein powder, and added scoops of vitamins. The 20 oz bags we were packing were good to feed 1 child for a week. Obviously not super delicious, but better than literally nothing.
