How funny: I just bought some of that at the store today!
Even without being canned, you’re right: the bread lasts forever.

It’s been so long since I’ve watched any of those guys, I guess they are all blending together in my memory.
I’ve actually wondered that. Why take all that trouble the make the contents themselves super shelf stable, but not pack it in a super boss steel can? I guess shipping weight. I mean they hand these things out like candy. Issue them for training exercises and drills when they’re technically not necessary (hence the easy access to “illegally” sold ones, and my dad bringing them home on the regular). So they don’t really need them to last forever. Good turn over and what have. But you can still eat canned rations from WWII (and hard tack from the civil war is apparently still edible) but those 40 year old Vietnam MREs are apparently kind of a crap shoot. Those were packed in mylar. The 80’s and early 90’s MREs are apparently seriously dangerous (smell wise), and that’s where the modern plastics started.

That is probably the funniest and most amazing thing I am going to read all day.
Saddest thing is, Bakker renounced all the prosperity guff and took a very moderate course after his fall from grace, as it were. He presented a very humble image and turned against televangelism and its extremes. Then he gradually started getting in with the “prophetic” crowd, and this is where he’s ended up.
