"15 Days' Food Supply Under 2 Lbs"

The Original Formulation for the Food Discs evolved from research done in the Early Space Program.

The Survival Food Concept

There are many factors to consider when choosing a survival food. In most instances, quality drinking water may not be available. In these common cases dehydrated foods will not be of much use as they require water to prepare them. Add to that they are heavy, bulky and not easily transpoted.

When these Survival Food Tablets were formulated, a host of factors were considered in order to adapt them to their purpose as a lightweight, emergency. life-sustaining food ration:

1. The less food intake, the more efficient the body becomes. Basically, when food intake is reduced, it remains in the digestive tract longer therefore is assimilated more completely.
2. Generally, a great deal of the food we eat is not digested. The Food Discs are 100% digestible as well as completely assimilated by the body.
3. The quality of the food we eat is more important than the quantity. Poor quality protein, carbohydrate and fat can put a strain on the digestive organs, especially the kidneys. In the Food Discs, we have used protein of a high biological value, which is 100% utilized. This helps protect the body from cannibalism of its own protective tissues. The fat is composed totally of fatty acids which provide the essential ingredients of fat. The carbohydrates are also of the high quality and 100% utilized.
4. In 90% of all survival situations, some additional food will be available. The Food Discs are designed to be the Margin of Survival. For example, if one were lost in a jungle area, one might have to find grubs, insects, berries, small animals or whatever to eat. One would have to adapt to the circumstances quickly until he found his way out or was rescued. The Food Discs would be that Margin of Survival, along with whatever one could gather, to sustain oneself as long as necessary. Another example, would be desert or sea survival. In these cases, little supplemental food may be available. The Food Discs would sustain one as long as he would expect to live normally, before being overcome by exposure, the elements, or lack of water.

Our Food Discs are intended for emergency situations or conditions where a person must travel light and live on whatever food they can actually carry with them for weeks or even months at a time. Twelve Discs per day supply a considerable portion of the required calories of an active adult. It may be assumed if a person living on them is required to "holed up", their energy requirement will be considerable reduced. When traveling across country, it may be assumed at least some other food will be found occasionally. Food Discs eliminate the risk or wasted time which might be required to actually hunt for food or go out of one's way to obtain it.

With most food products 30 to 60 percent of the theoretical calorie content leaves the body unused. Food Discs are so completely digestible that 99% of their calorie content can be actually utilized for energy and 97% of the protein is actually available for repair or replacement of essential body substances such as blood, muscle, nerves, etc. Twelve Food Discs per day provide more than enough protein so sustain essential body tissues.

By placing one Food Disc in the mouth every hour or so and letting it dissolve slowly during a 10 - 15 minute period of time, assimilation of all nutrients will be maximized and appetite will be fully satisfied.

The Food Discs container is designed and shaped to fit and be carried within a regular G.I. canteen pouch. The small empty space under the lid of this container is filled with an extra plastic bag. If an extra water canteen is needed, the Food Discs can be poured out into the plastic bag and be carried in a pocket or backpack so the container is used as a canteen.

There have been several individuals who have lived on a diet of Food Discs exclusively for 4-5 months. This was done out of necessity, because of their inability to eat or keep down any other foods.

The Food Disc Diet In controlled studies which we have conducted, we've found when living on a diet of Food Discs exclusively, one loses from 5-8 lbs. the first week. This is mainly due to the emptying of the intestines of all food previously eaten. After the first week, there is a leveling off and a minimum weight loss of 0-2 lbs. per week. This is in consideration of a normal active daily routine.

The Food Discs provide greatly larger amounts of calories and nutrition than any other product available. The high caloric content, combined with a carefully balanced amount of all the essential nutrients, provides a "state of the art" product as far as survival rations are concerned.

The Food Discs are presently marketed to the pilots, yachtsmen and outdoorsmen, who use them as emergency food rations, as well as an energy pick-up food supplement. They are also popular with long-distance truck drivers who don't want to stop to eat.

The Food Discs are a perfect lightweight, emergency food ration for use in survival kits - and a vast improvement over candies and other quick-energy "fixes" that are currently used.

This is a true "survival food" which will keep you alive and moving for months on the amount you can carry in your own pack. Read More
