RE: [Philmont]: Size/weight of food

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but are you aware that you can
order Philfood directly from Philmont (505-376-2281 ext. 252)? Doing so lets
you practice with the actual food you'll be using and would show you exactly
what the volume and weight is. Also, the prices are competitive.
