Food fights?

In Antarctica we are going to look at how our diet, as well as our body’s make-up, affects our ability to cope. One half of the team will be on a high fat diet, the other on a balanced diet. The balanced diet is likely to be more palatable, but heavier to haul around. The high fat diet should keep the diner warmer, if they can eat it all.

The different diets could be a cause of friction in the team. If so, this will be picked up in the psychological mood questionnaires we will be filling in each day … big brother will have reached Antarctica!

Are there any simple experiments that you would like us to run on the ice? I would like to choose two or three and send you back the results direct from Antarctica. 

"Does your spit freeze before it hits the ground?" is already on the list …
