To all of you who wanted to see the FNB history that I thought I had: I had something a while ago that was issued by Boston FNB. It seems to have dissappeared, so I can't simply transcribe it into the computer. What follows is a quick summary, basically all that I can remember about the history of FNB as it was told to me. FNB began in boston around 1980. It started as a food distribution program, folks would pick up surplus food from various restaurants, green grocers, and farmers markets and distribute it to soup kitchens. Eventually these people began feeding the homeless themselves. FNB believes that homelessness exists because of our society and government, that there will always be homeless if our priorities do not change. FNB chapters now exist in a number of different cities, on a nationwide level we are only loosely affiliated. We only serve vegetarian meals, and the serving is usually done in some kind of political manner (in front of city hall, at demonstrations, etc.) This is a quick, and surely incomplete summary. Local groups are welcome to add on additions or corrections. My apologies for the spelling, I am typing this quickly. peace--Marcus, NYC Food Not Bombs
