The rich thugs they really do want to KILL the Poor and they do it in the name of"helping them"! First shop OWNERS arrest people for dumpster diving or pour ammonia on the produce they throw out so no"bum" gets a "free meal" now THIS. This type of bullshit not only hits church dinners,it also nixes donated food and I think it is aimed at shutting down Food not Bombs.


No home cooking for the homeless
County wants all food served to the public made in an inspected kitchen. The casserole has been canned.
Under a tough new policy in Fairfax County, Va., residents can no longer donate food prepared in their homes or a church kitchen — be it a tuna casserole, sandwiches or even a batch of cookies — unless the kitchen is approved by the county, health officials said Tuesday.

They said the crackdown on home-cooked meals is aimed at preventing food poisoning among homeless people.

But it is infuriating operators of shelters for the homeless and leaders of a coalition of churches that provides shelter and meals to homeless people during the winter. They said the strict standards for food served in the shelters will make it more difficult to serve healthy, hot meals to homeless people.

If people can get food without paying a rich person the powers of the "market" cannot coerce so easily. People in control of their own food supply who SHARE it are a threat to centralized power that wants us dependant on centralized power therefore obedient to the state.
