An act of solidarity
Monday, November 17, 2008 at 7:21 p.m.
Editor: Food Not Bombs is often mistaken as an act of charity rather
than one of solidarity. Food Not Bombs advocates international peace,
and for over 25 years the movement has worked to end hunger, support
peoples’ movements, and prevent the exploitation and destruction of our
planet.
Hunger is a well-recognized expression of poverty. With our country
facing extreme economic failures, poverty will inevitably be more
prominent along our streets. As a response to hunger, each chapter
recovers food that would otherwise be wasted and makes free, fresh,
vegetarian/vegan meals that are served in public spaces to any hungry
person, without discrimination.
Petaluma Food Not Bombs is an all-volunteer, student-run organization
dedicated to peaceful social change. With no formal leaders, we
encourage communication and all-inclusive cooperation. As students, we
strive to better our community and put a spotlight on the effects that
our war-stricken society has on poverty and hunger, as well as creating
social and personal connections with the people of Petaluma. A local
point of focus, however, is the establishment of solidarity among
immigrants and day laborers in our county. As it is often difficult for
the latter to obtain the necessities of life (work, food, housing,
etc.), it is important that our community cooperate to support this
social demographic. Food is a universal necessity and if all peoples
were supplied with all their vital needs, Petaluma Food Not Bombs
believes that domestic and international conflict could be minimized.
Contrary to the information reported in the article “Student
food-providers given warning by police” (Argus-Courier, Nov. 13), Food
Not Bombs exerts conscious effort to reduce waste by recycling and
reusing all materials used by our organization. Also, we serve the meals
within an hour of preparation, do not cook with any food item past its
expiration date, and give the meals away; there are no monetary
transactions.
We thank you for your potential support and cooperation in this small
form of direct action. If you, your friends, or your families are
hungry, please stop by for a friendly meal!
Sincerely and in solidarity.
Lareina Marshall, Bianca Bisson and Kelsey Otis, Petaluma Food Not Bombs

Funny how their advocation of "international peace" involves agitation
and provocation on the streets of San Francisco, where the group tries
to stir up physical confrontations between homeless bums and the SFPD.
Typical commie agitator organization, nothing more, nothing less...

Why are you lying about Food Not Bombs, Stan?
They seem like poor targets for your heroic wrath.

You'll notice that the article with which this topic begins does
not contain pre-pubescent name-calling.

Readers will note that Stan makes no attempt to support his bizarre, and
probably libelous, claims.

If anyone cares, I am actually basically an anarcho-individualist like
Benjamin Tucker or Robert Anton Wilson.

True, the article does not stoop, but then the author was not involved
in a conversation but a monologue, right?
Zardo
*Anarcissie*
Actually, the author(s) were probably in a sort of
conversation. People frequently perceive or assume
that Food Not Bombs is a kind of charitable organization.
In fact, it's neither charitable nor an organization, and
the authors are trying to point this out. My guess is
that they are specifically responding to those
misconceptions.
You can see that they are not familiar with Usenet
practice (see Stan de SD above) or they would start
out by accusing their audience of being ill-smelling
baby-eating homosexual Nazi hippie mafiosi.

That's a big 10-4. Food satisfies the most basic of human needs, namely
that for sustenance of the body, and when a society is plunged into
famine, where feeding itself is not possible, it's a good indication
that it can't descend any further and is on the bink of annihalation.
