A sandwich which stays fresh for up to two years has been developed for the US army as Dr George McGavin found out as part of his investigation into what happens when food rots.

    • Reminds me of an experiment a local person did for the town paper. He put an opened stick of margerine on a saucer on the windowsil of his kitchen. Over the period of one year, it never developed any mold or attracted any insects. Mind you this is Flori-duh where if you sit still on a summer day you'll be eaten alive by bugs and be covered in fungus by nightfall. Turns out margerine is one little molecule away from being pure plastic and has no food value what so ever. Use butter, it's better for you. Margerine, you might as well eat the tub it came in.

      Yep/ Here's a little something else to chew on. You know how they say that you get more Germs from inside your own house than anywhere else? Well, if you set out some Milk and let it grow your germs a bit then drop in a drop or two of hydrogen peroxide TO WEAKEN THEM... then drink it YOU'VE JUST VACCINATED YOURSELF AGAINST EVERYTHING IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

      HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    • Food that was prepared back before Fukushima eh? haha I eat powdered food, re-constituted vegetables & fruits. Great for losing the fat, but every so often you have to add Olive Oil (for making hyaluronic acid protein) and Coconut Oil (for the thyroid, also protein).

      Purchased something new called Power Butter, made with peanut butter, flaxseed oil and EGG WHITES. Haven't quite built up the nerve enough to eat it though. I'm planning to add a protein powder made from gass-fed beef and gobs of dry tumeric powder (for building muscle, supposedly it's the "kitchen cabinet Clenbuterol). We'll find out.

      But they can keep the dried sandwiches. I prefer FRESH FOODS.
