This is crazy but bear with me. I was deployed several times, they would feed us well, really good food, steaks, crab, pasta night, pizza night. A really good variety, but something I began to notice was it all began to taste the same, it’s hard to describe but chow hall food all tasted the same. I was a flyer so occasionally I was out of the food chain and got to eat different food. It tasted different which gave me a clue something was up.
I get the joke, I went to survival school and had to put it to use a couple times. but no, it was all good food, but after a while it just began to taste the same that’s what I’m trying to describe. Other deployers or navy sailors may understand the phenomenon.
Edit: coming home to my wife’s cooking was glorious, absolutely fantastic. It made homecoming 10 times better!
Yeah, it just seemed like food from the chow hall was the same everyday. It’s hard to describe, I’m eating eggs and bacon for breakfast, a cheese burger for lunch, and pasta night I’m eating spaghetti. But it all has a similar flavor. That’s what I’m trying to describe. I’m not a rocket scientist so it’s hard to put into words.
Edit: also arriving home after a long deployment and that first meal my wife made me tasted so different than anything I had been eating for months on end.
Well, there's not a lot of freshness to that food. It has to have shitloads of preservatives, salt, and sugar in it. This causes it to have a lot of the same flavor, which isn't much.
They also use "Grade E meat, fit for animal feed or the military only" as it says on the box. And they like to put saltpeter and other fun stuff in it to deter boners and whatnot.
And that was a bazillion years ago, god only knows what they get up to now.
I think this explanation has merit. A lot of that food sits on ships and is shipped to us in deployed locations. During contingencies they wake these ships up and ship that heavily preserved food to were we are active. I remember flying in and out of Diego Garcia and seeing all those ships just sitting at anchor. I would speak with the few merchant marines there occasionally and they said those ships are full with tanks, bombs, and food. Waiting for the next contingency.
I've noticed the same thing. How I explained it is by saying: Imagine you're in a foreign country with different brand soda. There's still cola, lemon-lime, root beer, etc, but unbeknownst to you its all mixed with 1/8 fig juice. You don't notice at first since it's not the exact same as what you have at home, but with enough time you start realizing that everything tastes the same. Eventually, all you can pay attention to is the fig juice despite not knowing exactly what it is.

They’re not there to be experimental lab rats,” he said. You know, why doesn’t the government feed experimental meat product that, you don’t even know what it is, why don’t they feed that to, let’s say, homeless people? Well, there’s a reason they don’t, because that would be completely unethical. So why is it ethical to stick it down the throat of our military service members?
They feed all kinds of weird shit to homeless and homeowners alike!
But they’ve always treated our soldiers like labrats and placed them into highly radioactive places to see what will happen, give them all sorts of shots to see what they will develop, killing them off when their hospital bills got too high - and fooled them all along with the public into thinking it’s all done for our “freedoms” LOL
fuckin Talmudic miscreants in positions of power will ALWAYS do evil and make you believe it’s “a good thing”

one one hand- for shame
on the other hand- less capable of doing job when it comes to them hunting your average american citizen down. Unless they pump the lab meat with drugs. Which they'll do to fake results.

In other words: It's fucking cancer.
They literally want to feed the troops cancer.
