This documentary film uncovers the trillion dollar worldwide Sickness Industry,
and explains a growing body of scientific evidence proving that
nutritional therapy can be more effective, more economical, less
harmful and less invasive than most conventional medical treatments.
Find out what works, what doesn't, and what's killing you. Become
informed about the choices you have, which could save your life.

This documentary film lifts the veil on the food
industry, exposing how our food supply is controlled by a handful of
corporations that put profits ahead of consumer health.  It reveals surprizing, and often shocking, truths about what we eat and how it's produced.

What do you want London to look like in 30 years and HOW will we get there?

Hey all,

It's been a while since I've put-up a post here..

a brief update:

for
the last couple of months, the 'London Food Not Bombs' crew has just
been organizing informally by word of mouth as well as, on occasion,
preparing meals outside of the 'last-sunday-of-the-month' routine. 
all
is cool, but due mostly to my lack of co-ordinating, the group has been
organizing somewhat under the radar of most of the rest of you.  read more »

Hey everybody,

It's been a couple of months since I've sent-out an e-mail to this list.
It's been a very busy summer for a lot of us, but I'm glad to hear that
the Food Not Bombs meals have been continuing in everyone's absence. Hats-off to everyone who has dedicated themselves to pulling things together for the last couple of meals.  read more »

Hi everyone,

This Sunday we're planning on doing another
Last-Sunday-Of-The-Month FOOD NOT BOMBS meal, and just want to put the
word out as always for any of you that would like to join us this
weekend.
We'll be cooking out of
the kitchen at the Empowerment Centre (636 Queens ave.) starting at
2:00pm, then heading over to Campbell memorial Park (on Dundas between
Colbourn and Waterloo) to serve the meal from 5:00-7:00pm.
Whatever amount of time you can offer would be a big help.  read more »

A few months ago, one of our local food suppliers came to us and asked if we would throw our support behind renting a commercial kitchen in London where she could work and where we might open a second cafe. It was early for us to do that, but we wanted to help so we commited to this project. Two months into what is now The Briscoe Cafe, our cook dropped out of the project leaving us to open the cafe and cook most of our food. Well, we have struggled to meet this challenge and last weekend we opened the doors of The Briscoe. Its a happy event for sure, but we are kind of desperate for help.  read more »
