Yo, this is Mung Bean reporting from Seattle, WA. This will be my home-base for a while, but it does not mean Vegan Vagrants is not alive and well. I am still a Humboldt-ien at heart and like many causes, eating creatively is something bigger than you or I. It is a movement of eating that is based on place, availability, and ethics--the goal is to wander from convention and those of us involved in this project manage to make it happen every day.
Part of being a vagrant eater is also to ally with others on our journey. We are not alone, and although it can seem that way at times, the point is to make a home every where you go. Lately, I've been working in cahoots with Food Not Bombs and I consider it to be a close ally in this movement for good, ethical food. It is a similar but unique way of practicing our commitment to creative cooking AND to serve to others with what is made available onto us via dumpstering, donation, or leftovers! Many people mistakenly refer to FNB as a "group" but anyone can be a part of it. If you don't have peeps around you sportin' the "power to the carrot" sign, you could make it happen! Below are links to more info about Seattle FNB... read it and then replicate again and again!
