You could have brought your lunch but the truth is you didn't. You ate the food and then saw fit to complain about the quality. A "Thank you" would have been nice.

It's been many years now since I regularly attended conventions, but I don't remember having any "issues" with the food served. In more recent years, I've only gone for a short time to meet up with family, and I found no problem with the meals. That would include conventions in both B.C. and Alberta. As far as the paper plate vs. dishes choice, I would imagine it is just more convenient, and possibly more of a health/safety issue. After all, conventions are in some ways a portable set up, and I suppose it's harder to meet the food safety criteria. Any retreats or get togethers I now attend associated with a church are held in a facility where they have been inspected & certified to serve meals to large crowds on a regular basis. As such, paper plates are not needed as they have dish washing equipment, and volunteers to do the food prep and clean up. The f&w's have always wanted to avoid any limelight, so I imagine it would suit their purpose better to just use paper plates, etc., and avoid any unnecessary publicity over food safety matters. I just don't see this as a negative thing. If they choose to use disposable dishes & cutlery -- no problem. If I found the food served to be sub-standard, I would perhaps offer to help with the meals & see if I could help in any way to freshen it up a bit. There are some serious concerns in the f&w's with doctrine & exclusivity, but I don't find the "paper plate" issue to be one of any importance. If I attend a family gathering (be it natural or spiritual), the fellowship & sharing is of primary importance. If someone is willing to feed me and clean up after I eat - that's a bonus!

They have paper plates b/c 1. health issues but also 2. it takes less time, so that people are more free to visit, etc.
