Want to Get Fat on Wall Street? Try Protesting

[elleng]

'AFTER nearly two weeks of living among the Occupy Wall Street protesters in downtown Manhattan, Ellis Roberts, 25, a Pennsylvania garbage collector laid off last year, looked scruffy and dazed.

He was not, however, hungry.

“I’ve been here for 12 days, and I’ve put on 5 pounds,” he said, sitting on the ground in front of a handmade sign that said “Class War Ahead.” “I’m eating better than I do at home.”

Like the rest of his anti-corporate comrades, Mr. Roberts learned soon after arriving in Zuccotti Park that his meals would be taken care of. All he had to do was amble toward a ramshackle cluster of tables and boxes in the middle of the park and, without paying a cent, grab a slice of pizza or a warm slab of homemade vegan casserole. Last Thursday he had encountered “a bunch of Katz’s Deli sandwiches,” he said. “That was good.”'

1. OH YES!!

I went to Occupy Chicago today and we had great boxed lunches from Jason's Deli! I don't know who donated them but I was grateful.

2. The OWS people share their food

The banksters and their lackeys (baggers) think sharing is un-American and communist.

3. I want this model established nation-wide so we can all take care of each other!
