'Food Not Bombs', Budapest, 4 March
- 2 Mar 2017 11:55 AM
'Food Not Bombs Budapest' is part of an international movement, independent from religions and party politics. Organisers say, "we save food from ending up in the waste and share hot, free, vegan/vegetarian meals with those in need, while peacefully demonstrating against poverty, homelessness and overproduction: with our actions we also want to raise attention of these negative aspects of the current socio-economical system."
"With food saving we would like to act against the mass problem of food wasting and overconsumption. Serving vegan/vegetarian meals also means that we support enviromental friendly ways to feed the people instead of meat consuming.
As we can save more food on the markets than we can use up on Sundays, we created a new cooking and food action called 'More than Meal', scheduled for every other Saturday. On the 'More than Meal' actions, we go around in the streets and undergrounds nearby and serving our hot meal to the poor."
Community Cooking
Starts: 12:00 PM on 4 March
Location: Élesztő, Tűzoltó u. 22.
