Well, it would be quite pointless to pour the content of a can of feijoada into a Ziploc bag, unless a can opener would be unavailable such as onboard of an airliner.

MREs are at least made from food, even if it isn't tasty food, or if it doesn't still resemble it.
Exhibit A: Wheat Snack Bread:
It isn't wheat, it isn't a snack, and it isn't bread, but as long as it is unwrapped, you can sit or step on it without damaging it, and it will last until peace breaks out.
You can't do that with wonder bread.

Even weirder in case the water supply is not so reliable at the place where the dry food is supposed to be rehydrated prior to being finally eaten.

They have soups and stews, but I have never seen ready-to-eat pouches in a grocery store, just camping suppliers.

Sure you won't find fine-dining supplies in a single-serving can, but I guess we're not talking about that "glamping" trend.
