I recently stumbled across a charity fundraiser that sends you a typical crisis ration pack, as might be given to a war-zone refugee. The idea is to get yourself sponsored to survive on that set of extremely meagre rations.
Contents have to be supplemented separately with a bag of flour and a bag of rice and some water, to give a total of...
400g can of kidney beans
170g dried red lentils
1.9kg rice
85g dried chickpeas
1 small 90g can of sardines
330ml veg oil
400g flour
Some recipes and instructions, mostly about fund raising. Wow. gotta get that recipe book!

That's for a week!

Who here thinks they could survive on that. I might give it a try, one week.
