I classified it as picky eaters because I honestly refer to all of our people with food restrictions as "picky" eaters (including myself as I cannot eat pork or beef), partially because I don't want them to feel odd about their restrictions and because it's just easier to refer to it that way. I only went into detail when you accused me of being a mentor who was focused on unimportant details, because I think all roles on a team and all details are important the only difference being priority of importance (such as building of robot having priority over making team buttons). I was not trying to demonize you and as a matter of fact, I did not intend my first post to be an argument, just a suggestion, and my second post was a clarification, not an argument. In other words, I am not arguing with you. You do have a valid point, you cannot make everyone happy, but that doesn't mean I can't try to make as many happy as possible.
So, back to you Andrew, if your team knows ahead of time they are going to be stopping at a pizza place, there should be no problem because they know ahead of time and can prepare for anything (I certainly did not mean to imply your idea was bad). Our team tends to just drive along until the head chaperon decides it's time to find a place to eat and tells the bus driver to stop. In this case, I still highly recommend trying to find a mixture of fast food places.
