Bring some multi vitamins for basic nutrients and just eat fruit. You should be fine for two weeks. If they have any grains, that will be a big help. I would not eat an animal no matter how offensive it is to others to not eat one. Them not only eating animals but also expecting me to accept their way of life while not accepting mine is a lot more offensive. If they're offended, that's their problem, not yours. Let them think you're a spoiled, entitled, arrogant American. It doesn't matter what they think. Be strong and remember the animals don't have a voice, so you have to speak on their behalf. Never give in and never compromise.

CF#5: Thank you, I wouldn't have thought about bringing multi-vitamins even though it seems obvious. I wouldn't mind if they thought I was an arrogant idoit the problem is I'm supposed to be there to show that I care about them and want to help them, I'm not sure if I will be doing that by refusing some food. To me it doesn't seem like a big deal, I mean really I'm there to build bunkhouses not critique cooking skills. However the "leader" of the trip seems to think it might be a problem, and is just assuming I'll eat whatever.
thalestral: Thanks! I'll definantly give it a look.

Beyond telling you that there's oranges and bananas, they won't give you ANY idea of what's available??
I'd rather offend a human who thinks I dislike their cooking than "offend" an animal by killing hir.

Weatherlight: They probobly would, but again the assumption is I will eat whatever. I agree I'd rather slightly offend a person than kill an animal. The person can get over it the animal can't.
*sigh* I still don't know what I'm going to do. Thanks all!
