oh yeah, it's actually food not bombs. well, that's fine too. pinko diego and redo frida met working with them, and here in boston, dan the bagel man continues to fatten the left with stale bread and tasteless peanut butter. as a certain man said who was chased halfway back to pakistan, "the food is very good, especially the soup." in fact, the soup is the only thing that is half way edible. seriously, the people at fnb do great work. they are attempting to live in a way that brings on a better world. and it don't get better than feeding people.
mickey z on food not bombs...
Created in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1980, Food Not Bombs (FNB) is the brainchild of Keith McHenry and seven other activists. FNB is responsible for starting hundreds of autonomous chapters throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia—where food that would otherwise be thrown out is recovered and transformed into hot vegetarian meals that are then served to the homeless and at protests and other events. With roots in a variety of social causes—including everything green—it’s not surprising that McHenry describes the FNB project as essentially “the food wing of a movement that includes anti-authoritarian music, art, unlicensed radio, zines, squatting, needle exchange, bike and hemp liberation, info shops, computer networking, autonomous decentralized non-hierarchical organizing, consensus decision-making, and sharing a philosophy of tolerance, joy, and free expression.” To the skeptical, McHenry explains: “People, through their actions, can change the political agenda.”
