"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense
than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Food Not Bombs shares free vegan and vegetarian meals with the hungryin over 1,000 cities around the world to protest war, poverty and the destruction of the environment.
With over a billion people going hungry each day how can we spend another dollar on war?
Americans discard over 40 percent of the food that is produced. 1,400 calories worth of food is discarded per person each day, which adds up to 150 trillion calories a year.The United Nations reported in 2010 that all one billion people that go hungry could be fed by the food that is wasted every day.
