You've convinced me.
I am on the road right now (have been for 2 months, will be for at least another 2) and so it will be difficult to make the sudden switch, but that is what I am going to do.
Well, I am going to Burning Man (with an early pass) tomorrow morning, so I don't think I am going to rethink 10 days of food for the desert in the next 8 hours...but when I get back, its a go.
Being on the road, it makes it difficult to read the book you read for myself (which I would prefer before making a radical decision...check it out for myself), but since your thought process reminds me a lot of my own, I'm going to take it on your word for now.
You'd better be right!
