If you show up to food not bombs with food it will get used, at least any Food Not Bombs I have ever seen (let's remember that they are a decentralized organization with many groups all about). My understanding is vegetarian is encouraged, vegan is even better. But I don't think anything will go to waste. However it seems like the SF FNB might only be vegan/vegetarian, but it depends who is there I guess. Regardless, the people who will benefit from the donation won't be eating at this fancy meal anyways, but I guess the point is some FNB supporters would like to do so? My suggestion: eat at home & donate the amount of this meal directly.

Personally I'm just glad to see the chef choose Food Not Bombs, as it usually gets passed over in favor of more traditional food related organizations. What they really need is volunteers.

i think given the current economic environment any donation might be appreciated by a npo like fnb. especially if a fine menu like this will bring diners out whether they are vegan/veggie/omnivore.

Hi Pizza,

This week, the guest chef chose the charity and we followed suit, which we usually do when a guest chef chooses a hunger related charity. Since the guest chef did not go vegan, neither did we. Hopefully FNB still appreciates the donation.

I updated the menu to reflect vegan options since there are a few this week.

I thought the FNB site said vegetarian food was okay too. Regardless, I was vague because I figured that if someone made vegetarian food or food with some meat and showed up next to a bunch of hungry people, some good could come of it, even if the food distribution did not fall under the organizational umbrella of FNB.

Um. Given that Food Not Bombs is a mostly vegan organization, you could have been more thoughtful when coming up with that menu. Is there anything on there that they themselves could eat, for example?

People shouldn't "just prepare some food" for Food Not Bombs. Please make it be vegan food.
