I explained that it was a protest and that free food would be served to make a statement. The homeless who came out did so partly to protest but also to eat.
Many homeless people have no interest in ending poverty and hunger and thats too bad.
But many homeless people do want to change the system and eating Food not bombs has become one way to join in that struggle. More people will be feed if we are visable. Hopfully we will end the need for soup kitchens and eat outside at the Food Not bombs table because it builds community. Each time, something jumps out at me and makes me feel uneasy. Let me know what you think.
