Just Add, Umm, Water
An anonymous reader writes "The US military has devised a way to ensure its troops in battle need never go hungry - with dried food that can be rehydrated using dirty water or urine. Bleh, but lightweight bleh." The original New Scientist story is available too.
Fortunately, I've never been that hungry. I wonder if the phrase "I could eat my own urinated food" will catch on.
Wow, just what we needed another way to make MREs more unpalatable!
I suppose you really could say the food was piss poor.
I would like to outfit every coffee machine where I work with one of these filters so that I can pee in the coffee and not get in trouble (again). Satisfying for me, but still delicious for them. It's win-win!
I would suggest that urine would probably help the taste of MREs quite a bit...

So are they going to call them MRPs (Meals Ready to Pee on)?
Trolls lurk everywhere. Mod them down.
I know it doesn't really make a difference, but the more I think about it I would just rather piss in a filter and make water. Then have drinking water and water to add to food. That just has a kind of cool factor. It just seems different then sticking the wanker in an MRE and letting loose.

Foreign Soldier 2: A whole case? Bring it over. Trust me, these guys will drink anything. You won't believe what I saw them eat for supper.
And then there's this:
"Hey soldier, we need some fresh coffee. You mind filling 'er up?
... Thanks
Hey, the Colonel wants some cream. Here's a Penthouse. Do your duty, son...
The important question is, "Is it low carb?"

Urine the army now!

Who would have thought that your kidneys couldn't handle a feedback loop.
