Chicago, IL - Diets Of Religious Soldiers No Longer Overlooked

Chicago, IL - Dietary requirements of Jewish military personnel were long overlooked by the armed forces, forcing many to survive over the years on peanut butter, fruits and vegetables, and cereal.

Thanks in large part to two Chicago companies, these observant troops are now having everything from lamb and lentil stew, and cheese tortellini, without feeling a burden on their consciences.
My Own Meals Inc. and J&M Food Products Co. are the U.S. military's sole suppliers of prepackaged meals that meet Jewish dietary standards, produced and packaged under the careful eye of Jewish inspectors.
