You are a devious man, Kap, you know EXACTLY what I meant, the food you want the employer to supply has to be paid for, why not by you? I would be in the same physiological state as you should I neglect my regular food intake; assuming I was still a sim. tech. would that preclude me from repairing a 35Kv Power Supply on the grounds of safety? AN didn't pay me to eat, why should your employer pay you? I said nothing about safety grounds, and to equate a/c safety equipment with crew fatigue is drawing a long bow, by even your standards. I suppose your reasoning could be that torches, O2, harnesses, etc., are replenished as required, why not crew food? Neat, but not in my book - if it is my responsibility to feed myself at work, then you can do the same. The fact that your employer can provide the food on-board does not preclude you from your responsibility of paying for it.

Over to you,

Kind regards,
