Yeah man.. temperature plays a big impact. If stored at freezing temps, I could see them staying viable for a long time (maybe 10-20 years).
But most MREs advertise a 3-5 year shelf life at normal temps. Or like 6 months at really hot temps. I've never heard of any with a 100 year shelf life 
Although I have heard of people eating MREs made in the 70s. But not really sure about that.

I wouldn't want to eat an 8 year old MRE, they taste like complete shit fresh out of the factory. They aren't cheap either, I would suggest other options.

Brand of MRE makes a big difference. I don't like a lot of the commercially produced ones for civilians http://www.mealkitsupply.com/ makes the best tasting ones I have found.
But ya they are relatively expensive. But it's a good option for emergency food. I like having multiple forms of emergency food, MREs, freeze dried food (which is even more expensive than MREs), rice&beans and honey and whatnot.

Don't waste your money on hoarding food. Buy books and learn how to live without civilization.

Same here. Along with water, and various tools/rope/tarp/first aid kit/etc etc etc as a "get home bag" or when shit hits the fan and I'm stranded and need to survive. Happened once before and that shit came in super handy.

my sister's ex husband believes the 'doomsday' scenario is a race war, it seems a number of these prepper types do, blacks and hispanics included
