San Francisco Food Adventure Club

Food Adventure Club
Rules, Policies, and Procedures

1. Rotating leadership
a. At the first adventure, we’ll pick the next adventure leader and so on and so on.
b. When you are leading/planning the adventure, please alert the members of the date, time and location to where they should report, what they should bring (money, certain clothing, medications, etc.) and how much time they should plan for.
c. Adventure leaders will provide the patch, button, or some insignia for the membership’s FAC sash at the adventure.

2. No Spectators
a. All members present at an event are required to participate and this will be accomplished by public shaming, peer pressure and empty threats of expulsion.
i. For example, if you decide to participate in the adventure dining on Lebanese omelets of eggs and brains, the group will pressure you to participate if you start to chicken out.
ii. For another example, if we are as a group eating an insect that is making some of members queasy, the sake of the group comes before the interests of the individual.
b. Food Adventure Club is not a safe space. Your boundaries will not be respected.

3. Members are encouraged to wear the FAC sash to FAC events including all their buttons and patches.

4. Adventures should be balanced to achieve harmony between difficult and benign adventures.
a. For example, simpler, gentler Adventures that have an emphasis on cohesion-building (ie canning fruits, visiting a beehive) should follow gross, controversial, or destructive activities (ie eating roast guinea pig, live octopus, or human placenta.)
