I ate an MRE...

I think I have had a couple of MREs before. Only I don't know if that is what they are called. They come in packs and you just heat them up or let the pack sit in a bowl of warm water then it's good to go. I believe it is not as healthy as freshly prepared foods, but I think in times of extreme urgency like when camping or during emergencies, this will be far off better than nothing.

They're not homemade dinners, but they are not bad for you. I've had some that tasted really good and some that I couldn't stomach. Their answer to slice bread is weird, it's like a poptart but not sweet or filled.
