Digest Number 1336 planes, raw food, and customs

June 13, 2005

Hi Christy,

On flights where there are restrictions at the destination concerning raw food,

you might still take at least a little bit with you on the plane.

If the served food is inedible, you will have at least a little to eat, and if

you have some leftover and are forced to toss it in the dumpster, you won't

loose much.

Airports aren't the greatest place to find raw food, and so it could be quite a

while after the plane lands before your next meal.

If you eat some of your food just before the plane lands, you will have that

much more time before you have to find the next meal. This could easily make a

big difference in how pleasant this part of the trip turns out to be. Coping

with airports, transportation, and housing issues on an empty stomach is way

down towards the bottom of the list of fun things to do, so I always carry

snacks with me

May your day be filled with clarity, grace, progress, and warm laughter,

Roger
