I sat down with Chef Jim this morning and he was kind enough to share how Chartwells keeps the Cadets and Crew well fed. The food staff provides three meals a day, and provides 24/7 snack availability.

How do the living quarters, communications, food and health issues of a 19th century oceanographic expedition compare to that of a modern expedition?
Cruise ships are known for their abundance of food. The US Department of Agriculture estimates that the average person in the United States eats ½ pound of meat, 1.6 pounds of dairy products, .2 pounds of fats and oils, .8 pounds of fruits, .7 pounds of vegetables, .5 pounds of grains, and .4 pounds of sugars per day for a total of 4.7 pounds of food per day.
Calculate how many pounds of food were necessary for all of those days and all of those people
while the Triumph was at sea ... at a minimum.
