I agree - particularly with the chocolate part.

What a gruesome way to spend three days!  It's as bad as those 
horrible Outward Bound courses some companies see fit to send their 
(usually fat and middle aged like my husband) management on.  I 
wonder if any companies have been sued for doing this, as the 
excercise has given the participants dodgy knees, if not something 
worse such as a heart attack?
