Free Florida's 'food terrorists'
How can it be a crime to hand out food to Orlando's hungry and homeless? What's
criminal is the hunger and homelessness
"Think of 'food terrorism' and what do you see? Diabolical plots to taint items
on grocery-store shelves? If you are Buddy Dyer, the mayor of Orlando, Florida,
you might be thinking of a group feeding the homeless and hungry in one of your
city parks. That is what Dyer is widely quoted as calling the activists with
the Orlando chapter of Food Not Bombs - 'food terrorists.' In the past few
weeks, no less than 21 people have been arrested in Orlando, the home of Disney
World, for handing out free food in a park."
