mostly as a sidebar on conf badge design, I have had the exact same experience with
people consuming all of the "special food needs stuff" :). in most cases where
they checked dietary restrictions, they had fancy, fancy scan-able badges which had the
info and only avail to staff.
However, it is a great point, and I would just say, "print food choice on the
back" so it is at least semi-secure and list them all "regular",
"veg", "vegan", "chickenatarian" (yeah, looking at you
matt), "piscetarian", weirdo-GF people (yeah, that's a mirror), Sugar-y
snacks (yep, all 3 of my kids), etc :).. Joking aside.. list "standard" and
whatever food choices people want to make on the back (or some such). This problem is
going to get worse before it gets better with rampant food allergies showing up.
For the non-buffets, I think this is reasonable. However, as far as I know, we only asked
if people were vegetarian. We didn't ask for any further details. Once the attendee
list is set up we can email and ask for additional food details, however we are running
out of time to finalize the catering.
The buffets should include a lot of options. I hope we can avoid having to control those.
What do you all think?
