Diet options

Recently I had to go to a research meeting.

While setting it up, they emailed me the following list of diets to choose from:




I wanted to do a mix & match, just to see what they brought me.

    What if I want to have nothing but chicken nuggets and fries every night of the conference?

    I'm glad Ron Swanson didn't see this list. He'd have had a conniption.

    vegetarian, lacto-ovo, eats fish:

    Technically, IIRC, that's called "pescetarian" but I knew people (who ate that way) who called it "vegequarium."

    The mix & match would have starved you out. There would have been an emergency run to the local Taco Bell.

    At a CME meeting in the multicultural UK, lunch is typically a buffet, with labels as to the ingredients. I cant remember the last time I saw and pork derived foods at such a lunch..

    Anyone who eats off this menu will by default not survive the coming apocalypse (with or without zombies)

    As usual, I'm too busy laughing stuff out my nose to make any coherent remarks--except for thanks to the good Doc and all the previous commenters for brightening an otherwise pretty dark day.

    Dang, you guys get all the fancy choices! I usually have to just find the "vegetarian" option and pick out all the pieces of chicken.

    I'm so hurt - they didn't include my low carb diabetes diet. What do they have against diabetics? ;)

    Hahaha, Bonnie. I was actually going to complain about the lack of low-carb diabetic options, too. :)

    "I'm a pesca-pescatarian. I only eat fish who eat other fish."

    I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use this line from Silicon Valley, and am jealous of your chance there.

    Snark aside, I actually appreciate seeing all the options! It's frustrating to attend a conference where the only vegetarian option is a salad of iceberg lettuce.
