because cooking is hard you don't want to waste the time and energy in real survival,just a warm/hot pot of filling something that full of carbs is what you want.
fancy stuff like rat on a stick with cattail roots is hobo cooking.
Some kinds of cooking are not that hard if you have a campfire. But the fact that so many people seem to focus on stoves rather than fires suggests to me that they have abandoned cooking over campfires. Maybe because campfires are banned in many places and often discouraged where not banned.
Personally, I do not eat carbs at all. I have been low carb for 3 and a half years.
I am pretty much convinced that the primary reason for carb loading by hikers and such is that it is the only practical way to make food on the trail by boiling water (pasta, rice, oatmeal, etc.). The ultralight hiking fad is also part of it. Frying pans are heavy.
