I'm a long time vegetarian and while I was at the final planning meeting this week, I looked around at the crowd (over 700) and wondered how many of them still eat meat. One of my acquaintances who I only saw infrequently for lunch or brunch always claimed to be an environmentalist and then she'd order chicken salad. I never said anything because I can be pretty blunt.
(I wonder where my button is that states "Peace begins on your plate."
As far as this being a "waste" the plan is that (hopefully) at the end of the march people will hang around and network to keep some kind of action going and not let all this energy and enthusiasm only be for one day.
Where are you coming from?
