"Finally they stopped by the creek to eat. Kenny had several slices of pizza and a couple of candy bars; Frank had a sandwich, an apple, twi carrots, and a square of chocolate; Tub ate one hard-boiled egg and a stick of celery." (Hunters in the Snow - p. 189 ¶ 25)
All I can say is: AMERICAH!
But seriously, look at those meals these men packed for a day of hunting. Wow, they are really straining themselves living off the wild. Honestly, this is the society we live in. We are so accustomed to pre-made food; I know for a fact I would die if I suddenly had to live off of the wild. But these men are hunting for goodness sake! I think they should at least trust their skills enough to not pack meals. I wonder if they would even eat a deer anyways.
I think these meals pretty much characterize these men. Kenny eats slices of pizza and candy. Usually, these foods are consumed at a party or social event. Kenny is very outgoing and likes to make jokes just like a person at a social event. Frank consumes a very plain, typical meal; this is suiting because Frank is the most level-headed and ordinary of the three men. Finally, Tub eats two things that are healthy; this shows how Tub is self-conscious about his weight. He does not want the others to know that he overeats and that he does not actually have a glandular problem. Maybe you really are what you eat!
