      That actually is a result of the military establishment circa 80s and beyond realizing that giving soldiers food that they enjoy eating (and can carry easily) rather than the cheapest canned goods money could buy in bulk was both good for morale and helped ensure they ate the whole thing (back in the vietnam war a substantial amount of soldiers did not carry all of the cans with them to meet nutritional requirements or ditched undesired components constantly).
