I I am ever on a lifeboat for an extended period of time, I am sure that I will relish lifeboat rations. In any other situation, it is dreadfully easy to equip onesself with food that is more nutritious, tasty, and appealing than a bunch of chemically laced crackers.

Of course, my standards probably aren't all that high. I just finished a trip where three straight evening meals were canned beef stew (plus a few veggies).
