And, maybe all food should just be vegetarian then, turns out meat is quite expensive. Maybe then they'd have budget for coffee.
I know there's the food allergies / physical limitations section in VIMS, but I'd love to see them expand that, to help VCs get a better handle on the number of vegetarian / lactose-intolerant / gluten-free folk, to make it easier for them to get the right amount of food for everyone.

That said, the worst vegetarian food situation I've seen was two meals with salad as my only option, at a 3-day event. It could be better, but it could certainly be worse.
