Army plans to dish out meal ready to meet religious diets by Ray Rowden Washington Bureau Washington a american troops have called their Field rations by Many names Over the years but a a Kosher Hasni to been one of them. However that May change with the introduction of four meals developed to meet the needs of soldiers who adhere to the dietary restrictions of jews muslims hindus buddhists and adventists. Army officials refer to the new Field rations As More of which stands for meals ordered ready to eat Multi Faith. The Standard rations Are called res for meals ready to eat. Operations desert shield and storm helped Point up the need for the new rations among the country a camouflaged connoisseurs according to chaplain col Marc Abramowitz of the army chaplain school at fort Monmouth . A when desert shield came along and All these Reserve units were activated it swelled the number of jews in the Active military a he said. A that and the fact that the Are Supply was depleted gave us an Opportunity to suggest introducing vegetarian menus to help some people  he said this is not just a jewish Issue. A there Are a lot of people out there today who done to want to eat meat three times a Day a he explained. He added that the products being developed need not have rabbinical or halal certification to be helpful. According to jewish and Muslim traditions a cleric certifies that food does not contain forbidden meats and was not made with implements that have touched those meats. Jewish Kosher dietary Laws prohibit pork and shellfish require Dairy and meat products to be kept separate and prescribe a ritual manner for slaughtering animals. Muslim halal Laws also prohibit pork and require ritual slaughtering but allow shellfish and mixing meat and Dairy foods. Abramowitz noted that buddhists might object to egg products in food As Well. A i done to think we even want to Deal with the requirements of special meals like those for passover a Abramowitz said. Leavened bread then joins the list of forbidden food. A when i was in Vietnam we used to receive special packages of Kosher foods to assist soldiers who kept the dietary Laws a he said. A these were provided by jewish associations and contributions through the United Way and various avenues. A these mechanisms disappeared after Vietnam a he said. A people decided volunteers knew what they were getting into. A but the Issue returns when you have people deployed for a Long time and unable to Cope with challenges As they normally do a Abramowitz said. Army researchers at Natick research development and engineering Center in Massachusetts developed four vegetarian menus using name Brand items found on the grocery shelves. A shelf life of up to three years was one of the criteria. Entrees include rotini Primavera cheese Tortellini pasta classic and cheese Ravioli. However it May be a year or More before they Are available for Issue to soldiers in the Field. A the Cycle includes having to order the items and get them from the manufacturers to the warehouses before we can Start issuing them a said Natick spokesman Harvey Keene. A after the stocks reach a certain level we can Start receiving items in the Back door and issuing them through the front door so to speak a he said. Another newly developed ration that soldiers will be testing soon features blameless heating pads that Are activated by water. These rations Are called self heating meals ordered ready to eat or stores. Store religion needed women say.
