If any of you were wondering what happened to those 400,000 British NATO rations that were rejected...well, nothing at all. This article gives more details about what happened in the days after Katrina and what is currently going on.

So, $5.3 million worth of rations, transported at the cost of $4.7 million, and costing $16,000 a month to store, is just sitting in some warehouse after being rejected by the US Agricultural Department because there is a ban in British beef imports.

What a huge waste of money, especially if the rations are left unused until they expire next year.
