It's kind of odd China is seemingly the only country that has figured out MREs are good convenience food (hexbear.net)

How the fuck is all western MREs 30€-a-meal tacticool m4 extrem trail hike: school schooter edition when, going by sold out online listings, I could get a chinese self heating hot pot for like 5 eurodollars?

These things would be insanely convenient to just toss in my bike bag and have a warm vegan meal on a cold days bike ride

I kind of remember the one you're talking about, and I'm pretty sure that one was supposed to either be a survival ration or a long range patrol ration(everything optimized to save weight so you can carry it for a long time). The US has those too but neither military uses them as the standard ration, which has much less depressing ingredients that actually resemble food.
