U.S. Army Needs Volunteers to Eat MRE’s
The U.S. Army wants you! They are conducting a study of the effects of MRE’s on your health and they need you for 21 days of testing.
MRE stands for ‘meals ready to eat’ and volunteers will eat and drink nothing but MRE’s during the study. To join you must be between 18 and 62 years old, can’t be on a diet and have to be willing to give blood, urine and fecal samples during the study.
Dietitian Dr. Philip Karl says the study is designed to understand how trillions of bacteria that live in our gut interact with food, in particular MRE’s. The research is also to include the military trying to cook tastier and healthier MRE’s for the troops.
Volunteers will be compensated about $200 if they finish the study. Anyone who wants to partake should contact Nick at nicholes.j.armstrong.civ@mail.mil
