The reason for this taste was to keep the soldiers from eating them early in non-emergent situations. It would only take 3 bars to provide a soldier with 1,800 calories. That comes out to 600 calories in one bar! Along with discoveries about proper nutrition, food was now handled, cooked, and stockpiled more carefully and was a major importance for the
