M.R.E Supersized
Troops on the battle field do not always have time to go to the mess hall to eat. Scientists have developed a solution to fix that the M.R.E (meal ready to eat). THe M.R.E is a pouch that contains chemicals that react with water to heat pre packaged food. Earlier one M.R.E would feed one person this was a waste of money . The scientists have now developed a M.R.E on steroids, the new M.R.E will be able to feed 18 people hot meals in the middle of the battlefield. The new M.R.E contains utensils and trash bags. It fits into a portable box that can be easily moved. To heat the meal all the soldier has to do is pull a leaver that relises a salt water solution onto a chemical that produces heat and in 32 minutes the food is hot and ready to serve.

This is really cool. It's a super productive way to get the troops the nutrients and fuel they need. It's really important that the troops are able to get this food, especially in wartime situations. It's awesome to see the kind of technology that scientists are being able to use in the modern era to solve unique problems
