You bring a microwave and a skillet with you on hikes?

[Anonymous No.16601876]

Unironically yes
I can see ragging on this because it's insanely overpriced, but 99% of the negative reactions are people from people like the second commenter here. There's no thought or reasoning behind the visceral hatred. Are you a 4 year old who won't eat their vegetables because they're a yucky color? Are you a 24 year old who won't eat a piece of chicken because it was pressed in to a yucky square?

you can easily triple the FDA guidelines in most, or all cases, and still be perfectly fine. It's not like food just goes bad after exactly 2 hours, it's a gradient where bacterial/toxin loads become too much for your body to handle, and it varies wildly on a scale of DAYS, depending on a multitude of factors. Literally just taste your food and spit it out if it's bad.

[Anonymous No.16602168]

Or you could just bring proper shelf stable food while hiking like normal people do because they're not retarded.

This shit is always so stupid. Every single place on the Google top page just cites each other with exact wording about how long something can be left unrefrigerated, and they always fucking underestimated it. So I just stopped listening. Isn't that defeating the purpose of actually stating how long something is good for and giving a reasonable idea to people? I left cooked mince out overnight, tossed it into the fridge in the morning, and ate it the next day. I was fine. Left milk out all night after buying it and put it in the freezer the next morning. Still lasted a month. Rice supposedly can't be out for more than four hours but some fried rice recipes call for old rice to be left out for 12 hours. It's all so tiresome.

This particular company seems insanely overpriced/probably unhealthy but I don't really see anything wrong with something like this in concept. I've thought about going full meal-replacement but they're all too sweet and I don't want liquidy shits

as an underweight guy who has trouble eating a full meal without feeling sick, I cannot fucking wait until meal replacement is actually viable and actually contains the required nutrients and calories

Drink olive oil you retard. Alternatively, two scoops of protein powder (so about 70g), Greek yogurt, honey, and a bunch of whatever fruit you like, 2 or 3 big spoonfuls of peanut butter, with enough milk to lower the viscosity a little, will easily provide 50g of protein, plenty of fats, and about 900kcal.

That's enough for one meal if you're underweight, do this twice a day and you're likely at a calorific surplus with 2 "real" meals.

Nail, meet head.
Most food safety measures are extreme so a restaurant can reduce their liability.
If you can reasonably create guidelines that reduce the chance of accidental poisoning to near-zero you aught to.
When eating something you've made yourself, the only judge of quality or spoilage is you.
You might eat a pizza that has sat out for 2 days and be fine.
The estimations of the FDA are, as you said, extremely conservative.
