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 recommend providing these bars for lunch and suggest adding emergency meals for your child’s breakfast and dinner meals. If this is something that interests you check out The Essentials KidzKit
