"Anastacia Marx de Salcedo's new book Combat-Ready Kitchen: How the U.S. Military Shapes the Way You Eat explores how many of the processed foods we buy at the supermarket are prepared using technology and techniques invented by the military to preserve and transport food for troops in battle. To celebrate its release, the author gives us a glimpse into the book's subject with a list that highlights just a few ways military research affects our daily diet.

Marx de Salcedo's book dives deep into the subject: she gains access to the DoD's Combat Feeding Directorate at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center. She explores the research and reflects on the role of processed food in the civilian diet and wonders about its long-term effects on health.

Is that available in 15mm? What are it's stats in FOW?

ACWBill06 Aug 2015 8:47 a.m. PST

This is obviously one of the Panthers captured from Panzer Brigade 150. The large ketchup bottle must be a post-war modification.

Das ist eine "Ketchupwerfer"!

Ah, the rarely photographed Schwerer Ketchupschlepper. If they had just made more of those it could have turned the tide of the war…or something.:)

These doofuses couldn't even get the Panther chassis right. The image is flipped with the bow gun and driver positions swapped.

The editors are no-doubt losing sleep over this transgression. Might I suggest some angry emails/blog posts to properly shame and educate them?

All I have to say about this is:

C-rations…chocolate nut cake….or MRE's Tuna with Noodles, also affectionately known as "Old Girlfriend"….

It's obviously an English Panther (steering on the righthand side.)

Buck, it's "ein Flammenwerfer".
