[edit] Mystery K
Any idea what the K in K-ration stands for? --Maikel 09:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
- The article itself is a bit all over the place on this topic, I tried to clear it up but I am uncertain as to how successful I was. It looks like it was named after the guy who, more or less, invented them. Don't really know myself though. --Hydraton31 08:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Can somebody please verify that one day's worth of K-rations did indeed contain 8300 (kilo)calories? 8300 kc is a freakin' lot, even when taking into account that soldiers in the field need much energy. Compare with MREs, where 3 such contain a total of 3600 kc. That's a much more reasonable amount of food energy, even for people working quite hard. I once read that old-style lumber jacks would need as much as 17500 kjoule a day, which is only around 4200 kc (compare 15000 kJ for 3xMRE). Sure, perhaps 3-MREs-a-day is a little low for young men in extreme situations, but 8300 is too much.--Peter Knutsen 00:48, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
