I think it was a general statement... No one will account for every illness a person might have which is why its up to the consumer to know what he needs.

 

I'm sure people with other health problems might not want to use most of the Long Term food items..

 

There are healthy people who use gluten free as a healthy option hence the reason for that in the description.

I understand that.  I realize that gluten free is a fad for many people.   For the female members of my family it's not a fad it's a requirement.

 

I was considering buying something until I read that statement, it's frankly insulting to people who have a medical issue with Gluten.   Accurate diagnosis of Celiacs requires a colon biopsy and a blood test, it's an actual auto-immune disease directly related to gluten intake.  In the US, about 1% of the population has some sensitivity to Gluten and it's in everything.

Again...... Text that is used for sales of a product will always be directed at the masses and not small groups of people. If it were the disclaimers would be larger then the can...  

 

As you said its a fad for many people and the text was directed at them not the 1% of people that have serious medical issues with gluten. You can buy Wise products or Not buy but for the masses its a life sustaining kit.

 

Considering you have family that cannot have wise products i would not purchase it.

 

That statement is not insulting to 99% of the population its fact. This is not health food..

I asked as my wife has an allergy. It's hard to go out to eat because even though it's mentioned, people still miss stuff.

 

Malsua is correct. My wife suffered for years before they found the problem. I find it a little insulting as gluten free food has usually more calories than gluten foods and if don't see how it can be considered health food.

Search google and you will see lots of professionals consider it a health food,  right or wrong.

 

Can i suggest you gentlemen should call Wise foods and tell them you take issue with the description they put on their product.

Ffs is this still going? Those are Wise's words. Take it up with the manufacturer, not the distributor. It's a group buy thread, not a gluten dicussion thread. If you're not interested in the product available, move along.

Mark, Bryan,

 

I think we understand your point.  Got it, Gluten allergy does exist, it isn't "just a fad for hypochondriacs" there's a percentage of the population where this is a reality.

 

Having said that, can we get back to OP's point?  WE here on the forum and Steve in particular recognize your disgust with the MFR's wording of their response.  Please please please, contact the MFR directly.  Steve is just a little Jew in a big synagogue, and HE ain't the Rabbi of this congregation.

Dan... thats right on point

 

FYI im a Big Jew but still not the Rabbi

My family has actually tasted this and its pretty darn good.  Gluten this gluten that, who cares lol.  I got a 72 hour pack and will buy another one Steve.

 

Let me know when you start collecting $$$s.

Put me down for one Ultimate 7 Day Emergency Kit Bucket ($92). Thanks.

bump? we still doing this?

I hope so, but it looks like it died.

Its still on, Just waiting for more people who are interested.

 

we only need to get 1k in food to get the first delivery

In the original post i see that you said there are other prep materials that can be included.  Would the prices be whatever the website says?

So what would be the best option for a family of 4 to have 2 weeks to include food, dried milk etc?

kinda bumping this thread......any of you guys tasted the items? just curious, as to how they taste, and if we're able to add/subtract some things we may not care for?

I got a few 7 day buckets in and also stocked up on my own supplies, I have not cracked open the bucket yet but i will thing weekend and report back

BTW.....where's your shop? if it's farther than i'd be able to drive, do/can you ship?

Im in morganville 07751

I would be interested in a 152 serving fruit bucket. My problem with the Wise food is that there is no actual meat in any of their products that I can tell, most of the "meat" is really TVP. 

 

I would be down for Mountain House products, I have some already but I wouldn't mind supporting someone local.

As we get closer to the summer we will know more if these supplies would absolutely be needed, but there also can be a be rush with selling out in those months. For reasons I think most of you know about already. Time will tell.
