> As an aside, I wonder if they could get a military or relief effort contract? Seems like the type of product perfect for both, as you "just add water!"

A lack of readily available clean water may be a challenge for use in relief efforts. There are also already products out there e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumpy%27nut

The relief will have to bring in water regardless (so people don't die). If they add it to the product that isn't "wasted" water as your body just re-extracts the water and uses it like normal.
