Yes, it is hard to draw the line. I did remove some material around the
statistics, etc that seemed to be of concern to some folks. However, I
think for folks that don't deal with this stuff, the background can be
helpful. It is hard for some folks to really get why some of us have to
be, or choose to be, so very particular about what we eat. That was
extremely evident during the discussion that motivated this document after
the meeting in Dublin (countryside).
If you have suggestions on text that could be pruned, that would be
helpful. I'll make another pass as well and see if I can trim some things.
Thanks,
Mary.

Mary,
I appreciate your work on this document, but I don't know where or how to
draw
the line.
Personally, I will strongly try to be vegetarian, but eat meat rather than
starve (a situation that arises when travelling).
But I will also try to eat fairly traded produce, and also try to reduce
the
food-miles. I prefer food that can be traced to source (which is hopefully
local).
I wonder whether your draft should either go into *all* details, or try to
up-level a bit to limit itself to imperatives (such as allergies and
religious
requirements).

Title : Healthy Food and Special Dietary Requirements
for IETF
meetings
Author(s) : Mary Barnes
Filename : draft-barnes-healthy-food-07.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 2013-07-15
Abstract:
This document describes the basic requirements for food for folks
that attend IETF meetings require special diets, as well as those
that prefer to eat healthy. While, the variety of special diets is
quite broad, the most general categories are described. There can be
controversy as to what constitutes healthy eating, but there are some
common, generally available foods that comprise the basis for healthy
eating and special diets. This document provides some
recommendations to meeting planners, as well as participants, in
handling these requirements.
