Tastes ok, but very misleading in terms of advertised ability to sustain one person...
I purchased a two bucket kit from this company. Upon reading the calorie contents of each kit, i realized that what they advertised as a 4 month supply of food for one person, was actually something more like a 1.8 month kit of food for one person.
If you do a quick search on how many calories one needs to have per day to live, you will see that it is right around 1200 plus or minus per day for a man or woman. The kits, state they have 120 servings each. One is breakfast items (120) and the other is more like stews etc. (120).
If you look at the per day total of calories between the breakfast and 2nd meal, it comes up to an average of about 490 calories per day.
One may be able to live on 490 calories per day for a little while, but very probably not even near 4 months, or even 2.
I contacted the company about this and they never replied.
Again, food is decent, but if one is buying a 2 month kit, the company should advertise as such, and price it appropriately. Example: Costco sells a true 1 month bucket for 99 dollars. If you buy four of those, you have a true 4 months kit with around 1200 plus calories per day.
The kit I bought from Wise food, cost $430.00... for a 2 month kit... buyer beware.
