This is not a productive comment. Comparing military rations to what civilians eat is apples and oranges. The focus of military rations is getting enough calories and to avoid any short-medium term health issues (notice the conspicuous reference to a lime juice ration to fight scurvy). But let's take it at face value, these rations are calculated for target activity level. Any idea of what that is? Cause I'm pretty confident that it's higher than the sedentary North American lifestyle.
