Food and No Food

Today I ate at an awesome new restaurant in Oakland; Souley Vegan.
As one might guess- vegan soul food. I think I sampled everything on the menu. My favorites being the mac-n-cheese, bb-q tofu, and the fantastic crispy tofu. The people running this joint were amazing. They accomodated our party of 15+, made sure we were satisfied while assuring us all the food was made fresh with a lot of love, and were just all around friendly.

Speaking of food: A lot of people don't have any.
You might not guess it looking at your plates or the corporate news but food shortages are sparking riots and dire circumstances around the world.

It might be easy to look at this and shout that it signals the end of civilization or that our planet can't cope with the population and has already given out. However, a look at the massive rice shortages of The Philippines, itself full of rice growers, points to monopoly imperialism.

In non-food news, Jimmy Carter continues to be a right-on anti-Zionist.
(And can I just point out that when the corporate US media says "seized control of Gaza" they mean won an election.)
