Sale of MRE's on eBay

U.S. Investigates Sale of MREs on eBay - Yahoo! News


Well, it may not be illegal to sell MREs (Meals-Ready-to-Eat) it sure is immoral. According to the article, it appears that MREs that are supposedly to be for victims of Hurricane Rita are being sold on eBay.

The selling of MREs on eBay when they are supposed to be given for free to victims is reprehensible. Some may argue that if victims are selling them that it should be okay. However, that would be profitting off the suffering of others who need those MREs.


It certainly is a dilema for those both doing the selling who are victims and those who are victims that are still in need.
