Food Issues

Food Not Bombs is a loose-knit group of independent collectives, serving free vegan and vegetarian food to others. Food Not Bombs ideology claims that myriad corporate and government priorities are skewed to allow hunger to persist in the midst of abundance. To demonstrate this (and to reduce costs), a large amount of the food served by the group is surplus food that would otherwise go to waste from grocery stores, bakeries and markets. There are chapters all over the world. http://www.foodnotbombs.net/

b-healthy! educates low-income youth and youth workers about healthy cooking, nutrition, and affordable alternatives to low-quality school lunches, commercially processed junk food and fast food. b-healthy! also helps young people connect their personal health with the social and economic health of their communities. Using this understanding as a foundation, the organization works to develop peer educators and community organizers able to address issues related to health and well-being. http://www.b-healthy.org/
