Food preferences:
* I like to eat meat and fish (default option)
* Ovo-lacto vegetarian
* No animal products for me (vegan, strict vegetarian)
* Other (specific restrictions - please contact organizers)
I also think we should leave the current interpretation and I don't see changing the questions will solve our problems :-)
IMO: The important point is to not look at the registration numbers as orders of food type X, Y but instead just as an indication. (You need to deduct some percentage for persons not eating at all and eating out anyway)
My suggestion is and I think Martin mentioned that the kitchen would be happy to help, is to serve meat everyday but at a lower quantity than our estimates would suggest, and increase the quantity of ovo-lacto vegetarian food. We then allow our attendees to freely choose between meet/fish or vegetarian food which is IMO a lot better than forcing them.
And if someone "really" needs meat he should just go to lunch early..
