About fish hooks: There is absolutely no need to include them. Food is of little concern in a 1-3 day survival situation. Water is totally another story... (But hey, don't take my word for it, check Doug's FAQ about his PSK: http://www.equipped.org/psp/amk_psp_faq.htm#_Toc62951667 Fish hooks were included in his kit for market purposes only... because people somehow expect every decent kit to have fish hooks. )

But food is good for morale, and helps you keep warm. They could have a snickers bar tucked in there. Somehow, you're not as lonesome when you hug a tree and eat a snickers.
