Well, for 3 days of lunches, coffee and muffins, soda and snacks, $74
is a pretty cheap catering price. Maybe it just seems high in the
context of a remarkably cost-effective conference.

I thought the lunchboxes were OK, and I would not want to take time
away from the conference to find my own food.

Salon.com has recently noted a trend of alpha geeks going on the
Atkins diet, so maybe next year we will need fewer chocolate chip
cookies and more pork chops.
