Default British team has no concern about food for Olympic athletes while US athletes plan to boycott Olympic food in Beijing

"The U.S. Olympic Committee has also stated it has no concerns about
China's food supply. The USOC will fly in thousands of tons of meat
and other foods to be served at its high-performance training centre
at Beijing Normal University. Most of the food will be served to the
USOC's 400 support personnel. America's 600 athletes will eat the
majority of their meals at the Olympic village."


OK - this makes a lot of sense. They're shipping in food for support
personnel, but letting the athletes eat subgum paint chips and anti-freeze
soup.

I'm confused.
