Rations form part of a high energy meal (ideal for a soldier in the field). Many can also be eaten hot or cold.

Also different parts of the rations will do different things to your body. Some cause constipation whilst other parts will act as a laxative. This is particualrly useful as it can minimise unwanted/badly timed toilet breaks.

Ration packs are also easily cooked. There is no messing about with fresh/raw ingredients. Many ration packs are pre cooked and just need reheating (often by boiling in the bag)

Food was in short supply and the army couldn't afford large amounts of food pluss ration packs don't go off where as fruit veg etc would
