Bring paleo-friendly vegetarian food :-).
Is that a euphemism for "lettuce"? Or do you have concrete suggestions?
[I must admit that I have been completely uninterested in the paleo-diet, so I have not researched how it can be made vegetarian friendly. My usual food to bring to potlucks is along the lines of veggie chow mein, which I understand is not paleo-friendly...]
I eat vegetarian paleo myself, so I can think of stuff. I eat lots of cheese, butter, coconut oil, eggs, vegetables, and tubers. I also don't avoid soaked and fermented rice and legumes. I also approve of very dark chocolate.
Hrm, apparently you do have concrete suggestions, that convinced me that I wouldn't be able to survive on paleo-diet for 12 hours :( How strict are the paleo-friendly rules? If they're really strict, I can just grab something to eat before coming, otherwise, I'll bring something nice and tasty...
There are no strict rules at all :-). I strongly encourage that food brought to share with the group be paleo-friendly, but you can do whatever, and certainly you can eat whatever you want yourself.
OK, I was feeling very conflicted on this, until I realized this might just be an inferential distance thing. I tried to clarify my confusion....and realized: I am not sure why the encouragement to bring paleo-diet exists. Do you assume most people attending would keep to paleo-diet? (That's not my model, but perhaps I'm wrong) Do you want to encourage people to try paleo-diet? If so, is it because you assume most people haven't tried it, and would subscribe if they tried it?
I'm sorry to be a pain about this...but I think we should be, at the very least, able to discuss snacks at a less wrong meet-up in a rational way :)
Did you consider the possibility that I liked paleo food better and wanted it at the meetup for that reason :-).
I guess the level of encouragement for paleo-food seemed to be more insistent than would be typical for a personal preference. Also, possibly it's a case of a Typical Mind Fallacy, but no, it's hard for me to consider the possibility that people actually like paleo food. But thanks for explaining :) [My usual rule when telling people to bring food is: "Bring something you like. This way everybody has at least one thing they like."]
