Who on here is buying this stuff?

What Moses388 said, stuff like this is popular with the "Prepper Community." Also, there are a lot of YouTube channels that are being paid by some companies to push their Freeze-Drying machines to the homestead community. So, when some folks see it, they buy it.

I have to wonder how much is in a can (by weight in ounces weight..not grams of protein) ?

I dunno, buying human food in what amounts to a 5 gal bucket just reminds me of buying something like cat litter...
Answer to my own question:
I could buy a new reelNrod, plenty of Fred Arbocast hula poppers, and a nice rifle and a lot of food gettin ammo for $3000.

But if those are standard shelving units, those cans are just a bit bigger than a 3lb coffee can.
@greybeard - I wonder if the black 5 gallon pails are food safe? I have only seen food grade or food safe pails in white plastic.

The food itself appears to come in individual wrapping inside the bigger plastic pails, so it may not matter.

Where's the USDA stamp?
Yes you are correct.
My sister-in-law is Mormon and I helped them move one time and they had a whole spare bedroom filled with 5 gallon buckets full of food.

But look!!! It's GLUTEN FREE!!!
That alone makes it worth every dime..
(a #10 can btw, 'can' be any size the manufacturer wants it to be since there is no real set size for cans but generally, a #10 can is approximately 6 3/16 inches in diameter and 7 inches tall, holding roughly 105 ounces of food, which is equivalent to around 3 quarts or 12 cups.)

I have some Readywise freeze dried stuff. I didn't buy it at Walmart though. I think Costco carries this brand so it wouldn't surprise me to see it on Walmarts website.

One of the draws of the freeze dried food is that it will keep... and does not take up near as much space as canned goods. Most canned food will keep a couple years but the quality will decline some..same with food in the freezers... even vacuum packed like I do mine... the freeze dried stuff does not deteriorate. I have a couple friends that have a freeze drier and they love it.
They are expensive machines to buy for home use, but have been told that the food tastes as good as fresh from the garden. Waiting on some home dried food to try....
