I have absolutely no problem breaking this rule. With all the power and masterminds behind FIRST, I cannot believe that we have had to endure this no food nonsense for so many years. I say no more!

If anyone asks, "I have a special diet that does not allow me to eat this junk, I have a special phobia that requires me to eat at establishments inspected and certified by the county health department, and I have a special wallet that does not open for people anxious to rip off young high school students who are trying their hardest to become the next leaders of this country and world."

and if that doesn't work "I can make a big scene right here right now but neither of us want that right?"

And if that doesn't work, fake into passing out on the floor.

But I totally agree with you Ken, it is just so wrong. Like charging for parking too. I just tell them I'm a volunteer and they let me in free.
