I just got the LL bean AT 35 pack. I love it, its absolutely amazing. Is it a ridiculous idea to think about thru hiking with it between may and august? I am confident I can get my gear in it but I am unsure about fitting all my food in it as well. I am an experienced day hiker and weekend hiker but I have never done a thru hike and I dream about it all the time.

It would be a bit small for me. However, you can test it by going on a 4-5 day hike. If it works well for that, should be okay for a thru hike (basically a series of 3-5 day hikes) in the time frame you mentioned. If it turns out to be a bit small or just barely sufficient you may want to go up in pack size.
