    Radix meals

    I got this MRE ages ago and just had it last night, really enjoyable but when I just looked online now they appeared to have gone plant based.

    Nah someone managed to ruin it all, they have a whole sales pitch trying to justify and claim that vegan options are better in every way. What a load of BS you can tell there's an agenda behind it both in the way they worded the sales pitch and the claims made. "Were only doing this because vegan options are more nutritionally dense and better in every way" Completely ignoring the fact that any plant based protein you can find has nowhere near the bio availability of meat based protein. Doesn't help that pea protein tastes worse than dog water.

    At least 50% of most vegan's diet has to be imported, cause we don't grow pulses or rice here or soy or quinoa.

    They really need to look in the mirror. eyes on the front of the head: binocular vision for distance judging of prey. Teeth: omnivore.

    Yeah I was gutted when they went vegan. Their Alaskan Salmon was pretty darn tasty and their lamb one was too. I liked how you needed a lot less water to rehydrate them vs other brands, so were good on a lightweight tops mission where water was scarce.

    Unfortunately they are all plant based now, i bought up large when they announced it & have about 60 odd of the Ultra meals.

    The back countries are tasty but give me a good dose of the exploding bum wees after a couple of days!

    Guessing a reasonable proportion of customers are hunters. Not too many vegetarian hunters out there. Not that we can't eat vegetarian food, just not what I want after a hard day in the bush.

    Yeah its a bizarre decision, they have essentially just cut themselves out of a big part of the market?
