The photography issue was justified as getting us inline with how other conferences do it to be more female friendly. So, it was in my face, that after 10 years, I still can't eat snacks at breaks most times. I clearly have managed over the years, but it's a little irksome that we are becoming sensitive to other concerns (which are certainly valid), yet we don't consider it of concern that people can eat the food provided at meetings, which is partly covered (in a complex way since different hotels have different of charging for things - e.g., free rooms with X $s of food) by the roughly $120/day meeting fee.
