I said the same thing. They laughed and explained that within those fields that is precisely NOT what the term means. They use the term to describe direct manipulation of the genome rather than breeding. You want to quibble? Go talk to the people who spend their lives swimming in that. They know more than you or I, and I tend to trust their professional judgement.

      If it's what is available, you can be picky and go forage wild fruits, berries, roots, fungi, leaves, moss, etc. until you get enough to survive on, including making up for all the energy spent foraging. But thankfully there's now so many of these survival food brands you can go for what your pallet likes best for your survival stock. But I'd say, if you have all these cans, boxes, and bags of stuff you have to cook, not what I'd call survival food. An MRE takes up much less space, and may have more calories by volume thane these survival foods. Only thing I seen that could beat the MRE in calories to volume was this large block of a dense nutrition mix sectioned into cubes, each cube about half the size of your fist and supposed to be, if I recall correctly, 1 days ration, or maybe half day per cube. Contemplated getting one to see if that would even taste good for an extreme rations bar.

      In defense of American rations all I can say is that my Dad grew up poor in the Depression, joined the Army at 17 and served during the end of WWII. He told me he actually gained significant height, muscle mass and weight on Army food and liked C-Rations. He'd never had enough to eat before. Grandma only knew how to cook tripe and other internal organs, known as offal and sweetbreads, as that is all that was available when she was growing up in Ireland, along with the occasional potato, cabbage, onion and carrot. He judged on a low standard. He was silent on K-Rations.

      But this is a good point. Any prep should include a lot of salt and pepper, and a good amount of spices. They tend to keep a long time, and with a little seasoning and spice you can make crap food taste appetizing. Having salt on hand should be a no brainer for anybody who does any prepping at all. It's necessary for life, and it makes food taste good! Plus you can use it for preserving foraged and/or game foods.

      Yes! Paul needs to do a April’s fools video about watching paint dry,
      Please bear with the sound of a paint sprayer in the back ground.
      Now I will explain the process of how the water evaporates from the paint leaving a solid protective finish, that is water resistant! 😉
      Please Paul.

    It looks like this line up was designed for a very specific type of "survival" in mind. Big cans of freeze dried food are good for stashing and long term living off the grid. As Paul mentioned, you need a lot of equipment to prepare this food, so it seems the best use will be as an emergency food bank somewhere in a cabin away from civilization. You can probably "survive" a couple of month if you prepared enough food like that.

      Only Paul Harrell sometimes uses margarine instead of raging on about how he hates it and it's an inferior product to butter. That's my only gripe with Chef Jean-Pierre and a huge pet peeve I have with people in general, especially cooks. If you don't like margarine, that's your preference - you're not any more professional or a better person for hating on it.
      Personally, if it's for cooking, sure, I use butter, but if it's for buttering toast and putting something ON it - a slice of pastrami, black caviar, etc., I prefer margarine. It's all about the taste. Margarine tastes like vegetable oil in buttery form, whereas butter...tastes like milk, and that slightly sweet, milky flavor really doesn't work with meat and salty stuff in general, in my opinion. When you, say, fry something with butter, that taste is nullified, especially when you use seasoning.
