Food
Not Bombs is a decentralized movement that is over 20
years old. People in hundreds of cities through out the
world are active in Food Not Bombs chapters. More info on the FNB movement There are three rough principles
that most chapters follow:
- The consensus
decision making process
Decisions are made collectively by
the group, there is no "boss", and all
actively participate in a respectful fashion.
- Non-violence
We are opposed to anything
that causes harm to others... in order to rid the
world of violence, one must act non-violently
with others, through action, words, and policy.
Gandhi also once said: "poverty is
violence".
- Vegetarianism
We do not serve any meat in
our meals. We do this for a number of important
reasons, ranging from health-concerns to animal
rights to the ecological and economical
sustainability of not using meat.
Food Not Bombs also
functions with other goals in mind:
- Publicizing and
politicizing hunger
- Opposing war and
violence
- Offering alternative
methods for the operation of society

space
