Woohoo!! Rock on, Chad!

Maybe I need to put a bug in the ear of my local grocer.....

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

what's the ingredients . . . anything suspicious ?

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Good point, but when push comes to shove, will it make any difference?

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Is it labeled nitro packed?

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

pre cooked dried russet potatoes
soy protein
sodium
vitamin c (ascorbic acid)
soy lecithin (not sure what this is)
sodium acid bisulphate (not sure what this is either)
artificial flavor (hmmmmmmm)
diposiaum phosphate (not sure what this is)
less than 1% calcium stearoyal (no idea)

also says it has 2% iron
vitamin checks in at 50%

if we are starving, i figure this will keep us irish for a long time.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

no, doesn't say nitro packed. i just assumed it was since it was dried.

:(

maybe i jumped to conclusions...

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

curious as to all labeling in espaniol also. Can you comment on where was manifactured? as in what state?

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

i figure this is a great deal even with some preservatives. boxes of dried potatoes at my walmart are $3.69 for a 40 ounce box, and then i still have to jar and oxygen absorb them after i buy them. here i can get 5.437 pounds sealed in a can.

it says it was manufactured in houston texas by a copmpany named IMAC.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

they also had #10 cans of dried hashbrowns, but i passed because they had milk and whey cultures in it, plus a ton of chemicals i'd never heard of. this can was *relatively* free of weird stuff.

Or the Germans, who almost won World War I even though there was a British Naval blockade against them and were relegated to eatting synthetic food-stuffs....

Some historians have theorized that if the Germans had had just two more weeks of food they would have won the first world war

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Damn, you can't buy anything without fking soy being in it. It's just pure crap. Processed garbage.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

what's wrong with soy? i thought soy was good for you.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Although I have no problem with soy I believe the hub-bub is something about hormones and growing t*ts?

Check yourself for moobs regularly and you should be okay. ;)

Good find, btw.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Ummm , nope.. Do a google search. Its a multi millon dollar scam. My Daughter is vegetarian so we did a lot of dietary research and discovered sucking down large portions of soy burgers is dangerous. Its a condiment not a food.. The worst part is soy baby forumla.. My kids drank it and since learning recent info I wonder if it partly responsible for the many health problems they have..

not just man boobs... it can burn your thyroid out..

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

The 'soy' marketed today is a GREATLY processed 'food'. Google a video of them making soy milk and have a bucket ready to puke in.

Fermented soy is a whole different game. Much closer to an actual food. Can be healthful in moderation.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

I do believe that 90% of the soy grown today is with GMO seeds! I think I saw a video of it. Might have been The World According to Monsanto video. But not sure!

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

shit. well, i guess i better throw them all away now.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

But unprocessed soy, like edamame, is fine, right?

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Rice milk, DYOD, lots of scams out there

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

If the source says "Non-GMO", then is it still bad?

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Where did you buy this can? I live in Houston and couldn't find anything for Bountiful Harvest or IMAC. Was there an address or Phone # for IMAC? Id like to see if this is available locally. Soy or no Soy that's still a good deal for a Worst Case Scenario.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

this is all it says for who made it:

IMAC
international marketing alliance / comercializado
houston, tx 77097
product of usa

hope this helps. i bought mine from a grocery chain name ROUNDY'S.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Agreed. If SHTF, I don't care if a can in my pantry contains HFCS, preservatives, GMO, non-GMO, soy, pseudo-soy, whatever. Calories are calories.

Yes, ideally, all the preps would be organic, free range, cruelty free, blahblahblah. Step 1 is to store stuff you & yours can eat for the purpose of surviving.

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Thanks for the information, but that comes up with nothing as well. You would think that a company would make it easier to buy their stuff. Go figure. Well im glad somebody picked up a good deal these days.:23_28_100s:

Re: find of the century!!!!!
 

Watch the video, will show you how to dry your own potatoes ... on the cheap instead of $7 to $10 a can ...
