The usual response is that people then don’t eat. Unfortunately, if you are working outside all day, eating is important. So think about how to manage your needs before you go into the field (don’t expect your crew supervisor to have thought it through for you). [/LIST]
I think most people with a specialised diet have learnt to cope with the availability/non-availability of their foods...the problem is often one where there are no facilites for cooking or preparing food and that's a problem for everyone on the project.
What opened my eyes to the reality of archaeology was when my late friend Robbie told me on the 3rd project I ever worked on 'Kev, there are lots of people who have got a long way in archaeology, without ever having to use any intelligence. Stick around and eventually you will meet them all'.
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
