Its a multi man job up till that point. We could skip the labels and packaging but those are still manpower intensive jobs. And we don't make or grow the ingredients or the cans or lids. Those come from outside sources. Can's are a great idea if that's what your eating, but making canned goods is a nightmare unless you have a preset up line and trained personnel and lots of spare parts and plentiful supply. Even something as Chicken Soup broken down to its most simple form of just chicken, water, and noodles and salt is going to take a large supply chain.

Interesting... Good to hear from someone with first hand experience.
Since robots and artificial intelligence is a thing in the Morrow Project universe do you think this could offset much of the manpower needs? The Project would have decades to perfect the process before it was actually needed?
Could this be something that survivors could have learned to do and worked on; if the five year plan had worked?
