The good news is, if Helo doesn't like the choice he makes, he can use his OPG to change his mind.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So, what do people think?
While I wait to hear from people, and unrelated to this particular check (which is one of the hardest left in the deck for our lowest resource), I just wanted to throw out that, if we have ICs, it may be better to use them on the turns right before the toasters when we can find out what we are getting into before playing cards. (Again, this might not apply here since it's so important and Zarek and I probably both can help on the tail end.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Pass on interrupts. I can help a little with the check.
I still have a couple ways to raise food.

Assuming Tigh and/or Chief draw an XO, we can do that next. If there are any doubts about passing this one I'd rather commit to losing 1 food, than risk losing 2. And that would mean potentially having cards to help with getting food.

As a technicality, don't I have to make my choice of whether we are doing a check before we ask for interrupts?

Yes, that's why I said e-mail. I'm just trying to keep this thing rolling, and interrupts slow things down the most.

I have no way of helping with this check. I have no cards, no help, no interrupts, just a flask of homebrewed ambrosia and a pair of Ellen's underpants.
We know the Cylons very likely have red cards, probably high scoring ones, they could use to sabotage this. We also know they will want us to spend as many cards as possible to try and resolve this.
While I do not like losing Food, it looks to me like the two choices are most realistically:
Definitely lose 1 food
Definitely lose 2 food and a bunch of cards we could use later.
It huuuurts though because the resource is so low.
I don't envy Helo this choice. All I can say is good luck, and I will stand by what you decide.

Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I can help with the check, but with how low we are on cards and the difficulty, plus the chromeheads tossing in cards to "help", I just don't see us passing it. I see taking the -1 food, as much as it hurts, as the best option.

Sadly, I agree. With everyone leaning that way, I choose the -1 Food option.
Therefore, we will not have a check and not need to use interrupts.
Let's hope that Tigh gets a decent draw and we can up our food this next turn.
