I was just trying to make a point without writing a long essay.
I can understand why you may have a different opinion.I did stay in a guest house in Blackpool run by an ex catering corp NCO and he had portion control down to a very strict art.
I have spent about 15 days on RAF bases though and the food wasn't that bad. Eat as much as you wanted. Steak, curry, fish etc, etc . It was all free and I was getting paid as well. Bar open as long as the base commandant wanted, 24 hours in one case. . (This was early 80s)
