Had they served non-sweet foods, say hard-boiled eggs, sausages, cheese, ham-rolls... there's always the risk of some items not being eaten. These must most likely be thrown away at the end of the day. A great loss of money and overall more expensive.
Offering packaged plain full-fat yogurt would've been quite safe in terms of food-waste (can be re-used elsewhere) and healthy as well, but most people won't eat it as their taste-buds have been screwed-up by years of sugar-laced "fruit yogurts".
The fact that they apparently didn't even offer water to drink is beyond me.

The percentage ratios carbs:fat:protein show
it's not really a low carb high fat way of
eating. Proves nothing. More of the same
waste of effort by researchers. I'm wondering:
What did they expect?
I am tired of this "See how bad it is" excuse..make something happen for the positive instead of complaining every single time! LC has been around for long enough that MOST meeting places will have a clue, and be willing to change the offerings.
It is disappointing and frustrating that even they cannot get this right! What hope do our poor diabetics have?
