Including potatoes, rice, soup and a sugared drink mix, this pack includes a lot of empty calories, and not much protein. This is a four week pack, but only if you plan on eating less than 1,000 calories a day for those four weeks (I did the math, including all the calories from the non-drink items). During an emergency, when you might need to walk, run, build, plant, stay warm, etc, this diet just won't do it. I don't think this is anywhere close to enough food for four weeks. It's more like 12 days worth of food, and even then, with very little protein to build or maintain muscle. The meal I tried was tasty enough, but I tend to doubt the manufacturer's claim of 25-year shelf life, after seeing how woefully short of food this "four week" kit is. On their own, these packs of food are woefully short of nutritional content.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
