[Campus-morris-staff] check in re: food

[Shauna Gordon-McKeon]

Would it be all right to add a few more vegetarian orders?  Because our
students have not explicitly asked for meat by saying they're not
vegetarian, so in order to ensure everyone who needs a vegetarian meal gets
a vegetarian meal, we'd have to have a separate process for them, and trust
the meat eaters to abide by that process.  There's zero wiggle room if a
meat eater wants a vegetarian meal, or accidentally takes one.

It's not the end of the world if we can't change it to add 2-4 more
vegetarian meals, but it is a bit of a headache to have to deal with when
we want to be focusing on interacting socially with attendees at that point.
