I'm putting the happy ending at the beginning--this lovely vegan spread!  As you know, I'm paying attention to what "progressive" organizations serve.  I noticed that at the memorial for Father Louie, who promoted non-violence, there was no meat.  The key speaker last night at Bay Area Transit Rider First Awards was Nayeli Maxson Velasquez, a public transit advocate who spoke on her environmental concerns--causing her and her family to go car-free, one of the most effective ways to lower our individual carbon footprint. another way is to have a vegan diet, and someone had ordered quite an array of meat.

I'm happy that the person shown here is starting at the more environmental-friendly end of the table!
