[pct-l] Pct-l Digest, Vol 29, Issue 76

[Jenn Von Bork]

I am a hiker and am therefore a part of the "us" of which you speak. I am
also a vegetarian and eat a healty diet of fresh, organic foods (much of
which I grow in my garden). I am also well educated. I also don't like
donuts. When the heck did I imply that you were destitute or uneducated???
You don't speak for the "hikers", or for me, you speak for yourself and only
for yourself.

 Jackalope,

I think Katy's comment "So maybe you better keep that horse's mouth
closed..." would be considered rude by most people.  (but obviously not
all).

No, I would not be grateful if someone gave me a case of beer so I could do
a 24x24x24.  Or a carton of cigars so I can stoke up.  Or a bunch of junk
food, when my body is desperately craving the nutrition that I have missed
since my last resupply.  Or a pint of whiskey. Most of us are not groveling
squirrels or pigeons jumping after every crumb anyone wants to throw at us.
Most of us are successful people enjoying our hike in the present moment and
not salivating at a bunch of junk food at the end of the hike.  We hikers
are not  all not destitute and uneducated.  Please show us more respect than
that

If I knew that the Big Walker Pass Food Ruck was just a junk food festival
with exclusionary judgmental people, then I would gladly pass it by.

However, it does appear from the emails below that there will be healthy
alternatives at this festival and that the people will be generally very
decent.

Thanks,
Symbiosis

I didn't find Katy's email rude at all. Your request for specific foods at a
free, entirely voluntee...
