[pct-l] Food

[Irwin Reeves]

I am a list lurker and don't contribute frequently.
I read 2 things today that prompted this submission.
---There were several submissions today regarding food.
---On Yahoo News there is a piece regarding 3 men who traversed the
   antarctic ice cap in 33 days, 23 hrs & 30min.  This is a new record
   for the 700 mile trip.  They each pulled a sled containing approx.
   170 lbs of gear.  They kept themselves fueled with 7,000 calories-a-day
   diet of deep-fried bacon, cheese and huge chunks of butter.
   Another entry was talking of a diet of salty and oily things.

   Anybody game for a threw hike based on bacon, cheese & butter?
  It works.
