Wikipedia is unable to give medical advice. See your doctor or a dietician. Astronaut (talk) 18:04, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
But the bars carried in life rafts are pretty horrible... we get to taste them as part of the sea survival training now compulsory for many Australian offshore yachtsmen. Andrewa (talk) 20:07, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Military usage

[edit]

It's common in the Australian Infantry to issue standard rations and emergency rations to be carried by troops eg each man to carry three days' standard rations and three days' emergency rations (order issued to troops proceding to the front line of the Kokoda Trail during WWII, from memory). The article should cover this usage. Andrewa (talk) 20:03, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
