(RGJ)- Choco Tacos, M&Ms, licorice and Chobani Greek Yogurt are just a

are demanding Burning Man organizers provide them at this year's
festival, according to documents obtained by the Reno Gazette-Journal.

demands by the BLM, unprecedented in Burning Man's history, have turned

"BLM
is not significantly increasing its staffing this year and it appears

administer to permit," Burning Man wrote in a response to the BLM
requests obtained by the RGJ.
