Haven't tried any food from buttermilk, but if their shelf life is any indication their food is much fresher than MTRs. MTR's packets are good for at least a year (and taste like it - they are passable in a pinch but definitely have that preservative taste to them). I think buttermilk is competing with freshly made or restaurant quality food. Edit: was wrong about MTR using preservatives, but I've always found their food to have an off taste.

MTR doesn't use preservatives, the whole food is just sealed air-tight with extra oil covering the food to prevent it from rotting. It's a combination of package engineering and food engineering.

Yes, you're right! We are a fresher and healthier option than frozen meals, with a more authentic and varied selection.
