On a personal note, I doubly object to the party paying for mediocre food without adequate veg_n options. Of the catered "lunch" provided by the hotel at our last meeting, I had only the salad, which was made with basically the least expensive ingredients available (mostly iceberg lettuce), and some bland rolls. To be clear, I don't think the membership should pay for the LNC's meals at all, but paying for substandard fare is even worse.

While most Libertarians do not apply this thinking to their diets, ensuring that the meals we pay for as an institution provide at least equal consideration for those who do choose to practice what may be seen as a stricter adherence to the NAP by avoiding eating meat and/or dairy is, I believe, the right thing to do.

While there was an expectation that some food would be bought, how much to spend on food/beverages if anythings was left to each individual. We should put out to our membership that we are looking for such venues.
