That's emazing Gary! I found an almost exactly similar quote in an old contract of employment for logging workers here in Finland (about a hudread years back). I think it was specified that they wouldn't have to eat sammon for more than two times a week. :)

How universal can that be...? You are writing from the states, or what?
