A conversation in which I explain volunteering

me: although

real chocolate would be nice

all the stuff down here is shitty, mostly milk and sugar

k: mmm not so good for the diabetes

me: whateves

k: hahaha

me: I eat everything that's put in front of me

getting an autoimmune disease can't change me that quickly

k: well maybe i'll add some dark chocolate to the volcanic rock when i know where to send it to

although that might get too expensive if i'm in france by then

me: although, the social regulations on eating in volunteer situations did what no consideration of my own health ever could

k: oh explain!

oh boy your adventures sound so wonderful

me: well

um

I was arranging delivery of a photo

um

well sometimes we kind of get paid for work with food

that's how volunteering can be economically sustainable for both parties

k: right

me: but that makes sharing a meal with your host a whole interesting transaction

because sometimes we've done more or less work preceeding the meal

depending on schedules and stuff

in Bolson

we worked for a bunch of different people

hopping around alot

and different hosts are different too

some watch you eating

which is real uncomfortable

k: yes i would think so

me: but sometimes I feel I am offered more than they can really afford for me to eat regularly

which is also awkward
