Re: Bringing Food into Competition Venues

Always better to work with the system.
this is the heart of the matter with food and venues. What and when and how you eat is a very personal thing. You should not have to explain medical conditions or personal information to anyone to get permission to eat a candy bar, or to snack on carrot sticks or whatever.

Food and drink are one step away from breathing the air. For anyone to place restrictions on people because your are 'in our venue' is not right. Esp when you are there for 10 hours a day.
