[philmont] The corner candy store

Trading Posts stop restocking things. So the pickins'
 may already be pretty slim at some of them.
   
  *****************************
   
  Probably about seven years ago as a result of hunderds of
  complaints, there was a concerted effort to thin out and
  then actually eliminate candy from the back country trading posts.
   
  That had a very positive effect of the reduction of candy wrappers
  along the trail and the improved health of trekkers because
  instead of junki calories, they started eating the trail food and
  it's carbohydrate load needed for sustained energy.
   
  The same year candy was eliminated from the TP, apples and
  oranges appeared at back country commissarys. I know, I know
  they are green oranges and not so ripe apples, but would you
  wantoveripe fruit? And they come without additional charge.
   
  It was a big step forward and one most all advisors were glad to see.
   
  Simple tell the crew that philmont is not a candy store. It's for grown
  ups both youth and adult.
