    Food for Patriots - good, bad, ugly or scam?

    This is a company that seems to be making lots of posts on Facebook, offering a 3 day trial kit for just $9.95 shipping/handling. So my thought was let's give it a try, heck 10 bucks I can see how it compares to Mountain House, Wise and Honeyville products.

    So, after submitting my info for the offer before you complete the transaction there is some guy making a hard sell for upgrading to 3 weeks or even 3 months. You can't complete the order unless you go through the entire audio sales pitch. Finally, when it was all over, you still can't complete the order unless you upgrade.

    Anyone else have ANY experience with this company's products?

    SCAM, they give you free food (once you pay for shipping) and its mega high in sodium and lots of TVP (textured Vegetable Protein) which you can make into anything. Think Soy.... add beef bullion and now you have a hunk of beef, add chicken bullion and you have chicken, and so on and so on.
    Not worth it, and dont waste your hard earned money or your time on it brother.

    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    I'm pretty sure Wise does a 9.95 trial pack once in a while as well. I think I even saw a free sample offer once.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    So sad, and yet so true. Probably why I do all my own vacuum sealing and canning because I dont want to spend money on them.

    Mountain House was the first of the dehydrated foods with which I became familiar. Used some on a camping trip for convenience. Have tried some of the Wise. It is ok, but MH wins this head to head battle IMHO. Honeyville packages some great things too.

    We have not built our food storage based on the packaged dehydrated products, they are simply a portion of what we have. We have some friends from church who bought several hundred dollars worth of MRE (Meals Rejected by Everyone) as the basis of their food storage. I have tried some. Ok, maybe for a meal or two you can survive on those. I can't believe we make our soldiers use these for more than a few meals at a time.

    MRE=meal rejected by ethiopians.

    I keep a case or so around simply because they fit a need for a quick k don't have to cook meal. Handy for a quick bugout. But that's about my extent with the..

    I kind of look at freeze dried stuff in a similar way, nice for conveience, but not for day in day out use.
