I can go worse. People still talk about seeing boxes that state that the contents are for one of two things: prisoners and/or animals.
Your buddy is probably talking about the prison-grade spam.
And what he said about how the quality dwindles... that's no joke either. In the days leading up to a CONREP (connected replenishment) or a VERTREP (vertical replenishment) the food quality will drop dramatically simply because they are getting rid of the stuff that's the worse off, that way they have more room on the reefer decks for the fresh stuff.
