yeah, i thought that would be an option too, but I was wrong. The vegan was a
hardcore marathon runner and weightlifter (though he had to be careful to keep
his muscle lean and not get bulky or he couldn't run). He needed huge amounts
of protein daily and vegetables just didn't cut it. I was truly of the opinion
that he should have brought more clif bars with him at that point.

actually, the more I think about that trip thoe more irritated I get with him
and it has less to do with food.
