Oh, they are very serious. There was a fuss over a month ago because they had trouble finding caterers who would not provide fried food and determine that everything is organic or grown in state. http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/jul/08/food-guidelines-have-some-seeing-red-and-blue/

Their fuss will be interesting to watch. They are setting themselves up for failure and embarrassment (as far as "greening" goes).

They HAVE TO be SERIOUS. wink

It is required.

It is their religion.

Liturgical vestments and implements (fanny packs) must be made of only the purest, divinely provided (organic) materials, made only by the anointed (union labor). laugh

The meals are symbolic of course, they must be multi-colored to reflect the rainbow coalition. laugh

The trash patrol are like the Babas. --- They are there to show the rest of us how it should be done. Deviant devotional postures must be suppressed! wink

I have an uncle who is planning on going to the convention (he's a journalist so it's a free ride for him) looks like he's going to have to hide his passion for red-meat, twinkies, and Coke from his fellow Dems. Sigh.....the poor man.
