It’s 9:30 pm at La Guardia airport in New York and I am sitting down after strolling the length of the concourse to peruse every conceivable type of sandwich – none cheaper than $15.

I have decided tonight is a good time to fast from everything but the peanut butter protein bars I brought with me.
