As more people become sensitive to the impact of humans on the earth, many are looking for ways to be more sustainable in everything they do.
One way is to turn the traditional food service model on its head. Typically events offering traditional fare with meat, seafood, and dairy at conferences, weddings and other gatherings. They'll then provide a few special dishes for vegetarians or vegans. The DefaultVeg movement aims to flip that notion.
In the past, those who wanted vegan or vegetarian meals at an event had to practically beg for special meals, if they were able to get them at all. The DefaultVeg idea begins with a wide selection of plant-based meals, and asks meat-eaters to opt out if they want their usual menu items.
