Welcome. You must read Priya Krishna’s story about M.R.E.s, shelf-stable “Meals, Ready-to-Eat” created for the U.S. military but popular with civilians during the pandemic. M.R.E. enthusiasts buy the rations online and taste-test their decades-old meats-in-pouches on YouTube and TikTok. Priya visited a Massachusetts lab where scientists develop the meals, experimenting to “turn entrees like macaroni and cheese and buffalo chicken into granola-bar-size meals that could fit in a pocket.” Check out the story, then watch Priya sample some of the meals in her own kitchen.
