"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!
