So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Discovering Halal MRE Products And Packaging

By Deborah Walker


When an individual thinks of the military or a natural disaster, one often thinks of rations. Rations are prepackaged foods which are ready-to-eat. Whether due to its presence in both Islamic and non-Islamic countries, or its longstanding reputation as a great company, several governmental and other organizations now use this provider. Whatever the case, by providing a Halal MRE to someone in need, the company is most likely saving lives.

J&M, one the primary companies providing these products was founded over eighteen years ago. At the time of its inception, it was created to help the Department of Defense and the military. After which, it also became involved in humanitarian relief efforts and natural disasters. While having taken a brief break, the company is once again shipping product to a number of facilities and locations.

Service is often key when providing food and drink in an emergency. If these products are not readily available to people in affected areas, individuals could become ill from tainted food or water damaged during an event. As such, companies like J&M and others who now provide these rations upon request are serving a great and most likely life-saving need.

Rations are in no way gourmet meals though each package host 1200 calories of nutrition based product. There are also condiments which accompany each food pouch. For those watching caloric intake, it should be noted that the calories within the condiments are not included in this count.

While these MREs have a long shelf life, generally these foods are intended for use within one year. As the company was first established to assist the Department of Defense with emergency rations for those in need. Whether a soldier, humanitarian relief worker, first responder or victim, there is no doubt these prepackaged meals have saved lives.

When it comes to old school rations like those served in Viet Nam and earlier conflicts, people often had no idea of ingredients. As the rations are often commercially based brand name products with ingredient and caloric information, individuals have more knowledge related to calories and content. While there are end-of-life shelf dates on many rations, organizations still advise individuals against eating any food, especially rations beyond this date.

Companies who host ready-to-ship inventories can often provide the best service when it comes to emergencies, emergency personnel and survivors. While the military and other organizations can often place advance for orders then distribute to members as needed. In all cases, individuals need to verify that products have not surpassed the end-of-life shelf date before consumption. If there are items in a current delivery which are out-of-date, companies will most likely replace these items free of charge when notified immediately.

While there may be no certification required for non-Islamic deliveries, it should be noted that the food and drink delivered were most likely inspected by the FDA or other similar organizations. Still, individuals need take note that the packaging is essential to the life of the product. As such, any torn packaging should be returned for the company of origin for replacement.
