Review
l The world produces enough food to feed everyone. The problem isn't scarcity, it's distribution.
l The money spent by the world on weapons in one week is enough to feed all the people on Earth for a year!
FNB's goal is to distribute food to the needy, and to provide the information and recipes necessary to set up a Food Not Bombs service in your community. Founded by a small group of friends and activists with the vision of providing food for the hungry, they collect and distribute edible, recoverable food that is thrown away (surplus food). The book supplies all the ingredients: a 7-step process to get food operation up and running; a cookbook; personal stories by the activists; the politics of expression and enactment (clues to avoid a potentially violent encounter with the police or the politicians); and even form letters, logos and flyers copy-ready. Food Not Bombs is forever embroiled in a front-line battle with the political cavalry. The obstacles that FNB faces are formidable and should serve as catalysts to move more of us to action, and reaction. With this bible in everyone's hands, there will be no need for hand-outs, panhandlers, hand-shakers or hand-cuffers. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by SH
