LOL! I can think of Other Big Companies without a conflict of
interest who could, without straining their budgets, hire us a fancy

vegetarians & lactose-intolerant people in the group. I'm planning on
pita, hummus & babaghanouzh, those being at least edible to everybody.

Other suggestions welcome :)
