A buffet with no eating

This has to be a first for me. I went to the Christmas party at the GP NL office tonight, and did not eat anything from the most amazing buffet.

Shew, the sacrifice! Hermann, the agriculture campaigner in the Dutch office did make a very good point though, that it should be all right - it was all vegetarian. Not eating for a day is one thing, but if we all ate less, and particularly ate less meat, we would be doing something very achievable and very positive for the climate. In the words of Michael Pollan:

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
