So don't use it!
Seriously though, to me the purpose of this forum is to discuss staying healthy on the road. I don't know if it'll be a popular forum, but as someone who gained about 15 pounds over the past 3 years while being a weekly business traveler & eating expensed meals & staying in hotels & often being too exhausted to try to work out, this could have been beneficial for me (although I just switched to a desk job
). I can see how this could provide value to some members. You've got to remember, not everyone travels the same way on FlyerTalk & there are a variety of different folks with different experiences. Want to ask about physcial reactions to Malarone or want to know if other travelers have a recommended diet while flying, maybe this forum is for you. Don't want to know it, maybe it's not for you?
