Occupy SF needs FOOD!
 Edited on Mon Oct-17-11 03:53 PM by Hell Hath No Fury
Last night, the Occupy SF was again raided by the SFPD (there are several threads that have videos of the event) and, once again, their food was taken from them.

They need some food love, DUers!

Here is a link to a local, very good pizza restaurant that delivers:

Yes, only in America does "the revolution" come complete with pizza delivery.

The poor, brave, downtrodden souls.  :bawl:

2. They take their FOOD? I'm aghast. Seriously.
 I'll phone in a pizza order, but it seems so small . Keep on cookin'!

Well really, how far were they going to get on two half-eaten bags of granola?

Actually they're probably doing quite well on Daddy's credit card.

too bad there's no Godfather's Pizza stores in the SF area.  I'd call in an order and send them a few pies.

They'd put them on the ground, next to the flag, so they could walk on them, too.

The location of the camp is Justin Herman Plaza at The Embaracdero & Markert Streets. Please consider sending some food -- not only pizzas, but salads, pasta, and appetizers as well. And maybe not just today specifically, but randomly down the road when they will probably need it most. I can promise you thee food situation is very haphazard even on a good day.

If you are a local DUer, I am cooking for them twice a week -- if you want to come cook with me or share a recipe or donate some food goods just let me know!

On edit:

You can also give our Mayor and Chief of Police a ringy dingy and demand they lay off the protestors:

Mayor Ed Lee 554-6141
Police Chief Gascón 553-1551

How many filthy rich people on the left have been to one of your protests or voiced support? How may actors and fat documentary filmmakers? Nan Pelosi and her rich hubby live in SF where these poor souls are starving. Every single one of these people could buy a years' worth of food for all these little protests and barely feel it. What about the rich trust fund babies down there playing "camp out and pretend to be one of the 99%"? Surely they could afford to feed the protesters in their area. What about the rich corporate shills? George Soros, Peter Lewis, Warren Buffet? Heck, they could afford to feed you all Wagyu beef every day (or Waygu Spinach & Tofu salad for those who don't eat meat) and not even feel it.

The thing is, if they really believed the same as you, they wouldn't wait for the government to take the majority of their fortunes. They'd just set up a trust fund for all of you who think you deserve their money. Instead they spend money on organizations that spew propaganda to get you guys agitated. Agitated people don't think clearly. Or they pay lip service to you but ignore you 99% of the time (kinda poetic don't you think). You people are nothing more than useful idiots. They build your self esteem telling you what independent thinkers you are, how compassionate, how smart while you simply parrot what you've been told since grade school.

It's sad, really, because you never engage in critical thinking. Come to think of it, maybe that's why you don't like black conservatives. Most have lived their whole lives being told BY YOU how inferior they are. Oh, you tell them it's not their fault. You taught them to blame some anonymous racist boogeyman on the right. You prove it by making them slaves to quotas instead of striving towards achievements. You doom them to a life of despair on your inner city plantations, condescending to give them handouts that barely meets their needs. You could use that same money to give them a hand up helping them finish school, learn a trade, teach them to budget, show them they can be so much more than who the begin life as. So, when a black man becomes a conservative he has to cut through more than most. And for making a journey to independence he gets ridiculed and ostracized. Because no one can be different, no one can have an independent thought. How do you control someone who thinks for themselves? Maybe it's simpler than that. Maybe it's simply that you guys are so racist you can't stand it when a minority is smarter than you.

If I remember my American History correctly, something like 2000 men died at Valley Forge, most of them due to disease.

Lemme know when the OWS types hit anywhere near that number, mkay DUmmies?

4. Yes, seriously.
 They are already facing problems with having no way to heat/cook anything onsite -- their camping gear was during confiscated the first raid. So most of what they eat is staples kept in the kitchen area that are eaten cold. Some food (like what I do) is being prepared offsite and brought it. It is not an easy situation at all for them.  :(

Says she's making pasta salad chock full of fresh "veggies" and some bread.  They'll keel over from lack of protein, but it's vegan by God.

yeah?  Well the conditions our Troops have endured in Iraq and Afghanistan for the past 10 years don't exactly make for an easy situation either.

Not at all, I always found most of 'em pretty tasty, especially after the duds were eliminated from the first set of menus they introduced.  Just like C-rats, though, they will block you up like a concrete milkshake.

They were decent if you could heat up the meat ration.  There was enough treated cardboard in the box each meal came in to tear up and make a little funeral pyre around the can (Poking a hole in the top for pressure relief) that would get it up to eating temp.  Only a couple of them were good cold.

Not a fair comparison, Sparky.
These days, most venereal diseases are treatable with antibiotics and hence, not fatal. 
Otherwise, they'd be making Valley Forge seem like a Girl Scout Jamboree, I tell ya!

Ham and limas was a little before even my time, never saw them from '75 on.  The two that were edible cold were tuna and beans-n-franks.  Some found the eggs-n-ham edible cold, some did not.  The rest were like biting into the frozen carcass of a fat bear when cold - meat, but full of solidly-congealed grease.  When heated, the spaghetti-n-meat was actually damned good, I have never had civilian canned spaghetti that could remotely touch it.

Reconstituting them only made it worse.

Yeah, those have been around for a few years, you stick the packet to be heated in a plastic bag with a flat packet of chemical stuff that looks kind of like ground charcoal, add water up to a certain level in accordance with directions, and wait until the whole thing cools down enough to handle.  Works pretty well, really.

They also are good for warming your self or a bag of IV fluid.

Or stuffing in an empty plastic bottle and closing the cap to make an MRE bomb.

My shipmates and I had the pleasure of dining for a day on C-rats that were on the verge of expiration. It was time to rotate the stocks that were kept in the life rafts and the Old Man just couldn't see letting that *ahem* good food go to waste. Needless to say, after the first meal there was a run on the ship's store's supply of candy bars and roasted peanuts.

You ain't lying, Sarge. That crap isn't fit for Venezuelan prison rations. Seriously it's like D-con. No matter what you do to it it always winds up the same, like Grape Nuts cereal with water instead of milk. Might as well eat a salt lick, raw. No way to tell the "pork" from the "beef" unless you read the bag.
The "chocolate cake" wasn't bad though, downright festive after a morning of running around in MOPP gear in the heat with the chiggers and sand fleas gnawing you to the bone.
