I chanced upon the Food Not Bombs field kitchen in Shop st last Sunday evening and was much impressed with the food hygiene, the bon homie of diners and cooks alike and most of all, the pristine idealism that clearly guides these young dudes/dudesses and, yes, I did have a plateful and would have gone for a second, it was that yummy, had not restraint gotten the better of me.
fair play to all involved...
some of the fnb lads in the states are having a tough time..
CRAP ARREST OF THE WEEK (taken from schnews)
For feeding the hungry...
Eric Montanez was nicked on 4th April for the heinous crime of giving homeless people free vegan food. He became the first person to be arrested in the US under new laws that criminalise compassionate citizens. The 'Food not Bombs' collective have been busy been distributing food to the homeless of major US cities for almost 20 years.
Of course, this brazenly anarchist project highlights inequalities in the fattest country in history and openly breaks the rule of competitive consumption.(How can the poor know they're well off unless there's even poorer people around to make them feel lucky?). Last year, a number of US cities attempted to criminalise food distribution and laws were actually passed in Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada. But Food Not Bombs have shown their determination to dish out the free dishes - San Francisco was forced to abandon its attempts to stop them after over 1,000 arrests and a whopping $25m bill did nothing to push the project off the menu.
Presumably, the mickey-mouse politicians who run Orlando are just too worried that scruffy homeless types gathering for dinner will expose the downside of the American Dream to unsuspecting tourists. Alabama Food Not Bombs were roasted by police and actually told that they would be "terminated"! - but refusing to eat humble pie, they just say, "We'll be back..."
Charged with "serving 30 unidentified persons food from a large pot utilizing a ladle', according to the arrest affidavit (the significance of the ladle can only be guessed), whether or not Eric gets his just desserts at trial remains to be seen...
