Food at regionals?

[Amanda Morrison]

I know it's been said before, but I'll say it again: FIRST isn't always directly responsible for this stuff. Who's to say that they haven't gone to the bargaining table to get you cheaper prices on food? Or that they want you to get a coronary from all the cholesterol?

I don't like to be a cynic, but when it comes down to it... there are always bargains made, and by putting our team's $5,000 in every year, I am putting in my faith that FIRST is doing their best at everything they can do. Do I like eating some of that stuff? No, not particularly. And yes, I do understand that a lot of times there aren't a whole lot of options around these rules. But the best we can do is put in our constructive comments, maybe suggest some ideas to FIRST, and learn how we can either work around or improve this rule.

Does anyone have any ideas (that haven't already been posted) that FIRST may be able to try to help out this situation?
