Amazon.com is exploring a technology first developed for the U.S. military to produce tasty prepared meals that do not need refrigeration, as it looks for new ways to muscle into the $700 billion U.S. grocery business.
The world's biggest online retailer has discussed selling ready-to-eat dishes such as beef stew and a vegetable frittata as soon as next year, officials at the startup firm marketing the technology told Reuters.
The dishes would be easy to stockpile and ship because they do not require refrigeration and could be offered quite cheaply compared with take-out from a restaurant.
If the cutting-edge food technology comes to fruition, and Amazon implements it on a large scale, it would be a major step forward for the company as it looks to grab hold of more grocery customers shifting toward quick and easy meal options at home.

Fed like a dog? I'd rather eat US Army "chow" than the fast food garbage that is slowly killing civilians. Worked to death? That's not the point those recruiters were trying to show you. The US Army being a cult? Maybe. But there are so many kinds of cults i think you'd have to be more specific. A cult centered around the idea of slave labor being a good thing? That would be no. A cult centered around not pooping? lol, that would also be no.
