The use of rations for noncombat environments has been questioned.[2] While the nutritional requirements are suitable for a combat environment where servicemembers will burn many calories and lose much sodium through sweat, it has been provided as emergency food or even as a standard meal.[3] The high-fat (averaging about 52 grams of fat, 5 grams trans fats)[citation needed] and high-salt content (averaging about 2 grams)[3] are less than ideal for sedentary situations. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a 77-year-old civilian man with prior congestive heart failure ended up with volume overload from the high sodium content of MREs.[3] The HDR and TOTM account for this nutritional need.[citation needed]
