Take me as an example, in 42 years of my life, have not had any meat fish or eggs... On 13 May 2015 19:40, "Lodewijk" lodewijk@effeietsanders.org wrote:
There are even people who live years or decades without eating meat ;-)

Hello
I think according Sunnis Muslims can eat kosher food all foods are halal except meats if they are prepared according to Muslim rites. mexico has only 0.02% of Muslims ;I doubt that halal food is on sale in stores
if the organizers may specify the Ingrediens of food that would be ideal and best wish for all
in london replaced meat with fish to compensate for the protein deficiency
in addition 7 days without meat is not so severe
best
I happen to live in a neighborhood of Brooklyn with both extensive Kosher and Halal options (which is probably not a coincidence, since there is significant overlap in rules). But Mexico City has a different cultural mix than New York City or London.
I can understand, though, that it may be too expensive and difficult to get Kosher or Halal meat, or indeed fully catered meals, for Wikimania in Mexico City.
Bur I would suggest going to a supermarket and getting something like a pre-packaged hummus with K and H marks, and some plain fruits and vegetables, so folks like this can at least have snack options during the conference sessions, and that can tide them over if they want to go out for a full meal fulfilling their dietary preferences later.
