Military Labs Develop Caffeinated Jerky and "Zapplesauce"

Posted by samzenpus on Monday October 31, 2011 @05:58AM from the military-power-lunch dept.

A military research facility outside Boston has come up two new super foods for MREs (Meal, Ready to Eat). Soon soldiers will able to stay awake during guard duty thanks to caffeinated meat sticks. They'll have the energy for extended patrols from a "super-charged" applesauce. From the article: "'There is a lot of science that goes into this,' said David Accetta, a spokesman for the Natick Soldier Research, Development & Engineering Center, where every item put into an MRE is tested and tasted. 'And that’s what a lot of people don’t realize. It’s not just a bunch of cooks in the kitchen making up recipes.'”

(a) ...Out of curiosity
(b) ...Out of self defense (lest they eat you first)
(c) ...Because you wanted to
