Hi Jim.
A quick note regarding the question/comment from J.S.C. on serving size in the bucket of food.
It is perhaps not commonly known, but it is an important fact to be aware of … that is, all foods sold in the US with nutrition labels have serving sizes based on definitions provided by the FDA. Each type of food is defined at the FDA web site.
In simple terms, the FDA determines how much food is customarily consumed at one eating occasion. Typically, several different foods are eaten together during a meal (or eating occasion), so a single serving of food is almost never going to be close to being a meal’s worth of nutrition. I always tell my customers to figure at least two servings of Mountain House freeze dried food (as just one example) per adult per meal plus some additional supplementary food that is hopefully available. To expect three defined servings of canned or packaged food in your larder to satisfy anyone for a day is going to turn out to be very disappointing at the time you are most counting on it.
