Create Diet Specific M.R.E's for Use in All Branches of Military

Created by A.M. on June 13, 2015

In the military, only four dietary requirements are acknowledged-- omnivore, vegetarian, Kosher, and Halal. If you have a special dietary requirement other than these, you're out of luck.
We petition the Obama Administration and top military officials to partner with the producers of M.R.E's to make a more diet inclusive line of M.R.E's, including but not limited to gluten-free and vegan. Not all people who are gluten-free do so because it's a fad, some are gluten-free because they have celiac disease . Some vegan people will do anything to avoid eating animal-based foods. It is in the interests of the soldiers for there to also be gluten-free and vegan M.R.E's.
If the gov't recognizes Kosher and Halal as legitimate diets, they must also recognize gluten-free and vegan diets.
