Thanks yourself. I just came back from writing the first-day report

tl;dr: It tastes like "real" food, did take some adjusting to, but no ill effects to speak of. I'm getting by.

These freeze-dried packets might solve the space issue somewhat.

I hear ya about the cans: I've got a lot myself and they are bulky to store. But this stuff, though light, is also bulky: the 1-month box was bigger than an end table. Only two of them would fit underneath a 2 12' x 5' desk.
