My two cents: These food bars taste like a shortbread cookie and while they have and will always have a vital role to play in emergency preparedness they are also the reason I started this business. Too many companies, families and schools ONLY provide ration bars as the food source during an emergency. I serve them as lunch...breakfast and dinner need to be meals! And so that is why I also sell the Essentials KidzKit, which comes with your choice to two meals in your kit. If adding meals is something that interests you... check it out here!
