“Groups of FNB (Food not bombs) initiative are engaged in serving free food. As activists explain, FNB is not just an initiative for sharing food for free. But their work activists try to attract attention of the society to the problems of social inequality and poverty in their country and worldwide. They try to attract attention to the fact that these problems are complex ones, and that they cannot be viewed separately from the political and social system, and urge “to eradicate the problem, not to struggle with its consequences.” (http://news.infoshop.org/article.php?story=20120326092939117)
