Party of the People and 'Diversity of the Plate'

According to the Denver Post's Douglas Brown, the menu for "parties sponsored by the Denver 2008 Host Committee during the Democratic National Convention this summer" has some rather unusual requirements.

Along with laudable, but perhaps misplaced, attempts at being "green,"

Fried foods are forbidden at the committee's 22 or so events...The food should be local, organic or both.

And caterers must provide foods in "at least three of the following five colors: red, green, yellow, blue/purple, and white," garnishes not included, according to a Request for Proposals, or RFP, distributed last week.

Call it 'diversity of the plate.'

And I thought rock concert star's contracts were weird.

One of the commentors on the Post's site suggests that the velvet-shoed Democrats will be guests in their fair city, and the people who live there don't take kindly to those dim-witted suggestions.

And to the attitude of "... to transform Denver into a top-shelf green city", he has nothing but contempt.

Have these morons ever lived in the real world?
