The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday -- because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters.
For three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables, spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad.
What a surprise. A Murdoch paper doing passive-aggressive hit pieces designed to scare people away.
What exactly did you expect from the media?
the main question is, "is it true?"
I guess they are learning that people are not all good. Some people want to take advantage, some people want to make fun of them, some people want to sell them drugs, some people want to bang on the drum all day, some people want to discredit them. Idealism might work somewhere, but not in this world. They really should elect a group to lead and be the spokespeople for the group and jell around a common ideas. That way, people will know better if they agree or disagree with the message.
They should not have to work 18 hours, some of the homeless can give back by working at many jobs. If they will not work, then they cannot eat. One thing they have in common with the other unemployed occupiers who are working, is they have plenty of time and need to work or go away.

This is just more propaganda to divide the movement.
The Assembly announced the three-day menu crackdown announced earlier in the day -- insisting everybody would be fed something during that period.
Some protesters threatened that the high-end meals could be cut off completely if the vagrants and criminals don’t disperse.
Unhappiness with their unwelcome guests was apparent throughout the day.
“We need to limit the amount of food we’re putting out” to curb the influx of derelicts, said Rafael Moreno, a kitchen volunteer.

Meet the New Boss. Same as the Old Boss.
Fellow Citizens !! We're ALL gonna get a piece of the pie!!
However, my pie is gonna be much tastier than your pie, because, uh, ummm ..... . Shut up. That's why.
u think ur so funny
You know...it is an odd position that the professional homeless are putting the #OWS in. It will be tricky. However, there maybe a simple solution. If they are participating in the protest by providing clean up duties, security, and in some way contributing to the cause...then they deserve to be fed. But, if they sleep all day...and/or do nothing for the cause...then they are taking advantage of #OWS.
Until this country adopts some Geneva Convention to control what means by which communities attack the homeless and make their lives miserable, we are going to have a situation in which any community which is too nice to them becomes overwhelmed. We need to guarantee the positive rights of all Americans to basic food, water, shelter, and medical care in order to end such aberrations.
Reads like an 'onion' article! lol
Yeah. You just can't make this stuff up. LOL
This article makes it sound like they are dining like the 1% and don't want to share with the homeless
Many of the homeless are victims of the 1%. I find it hard to take this article as not being divisive

you still don't want to feed them the good stuff, right?
That's messed up man.
People at the top. People at the bottom. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
They should be eating brown rice & lentils every day. For a year I lived on nothing but corn & soybeans with a pinch of salt & vitamin C. I bought a bushel of corn from the feed store and soybeans from seed stores, a tofu factory & a farmer. (Twice as much corn as soybeans and I'd grind 'em up separately running the corn through twice.)

OWS is upset over having to share the wealth-who knew they would object to sharing their own wealth?

OWS becomes the 1 percent. Sad. There are haves and have nots even at OWS.
I had a donation table at one of the Occupy sites. I said, "the opposite of greed is charity". I collected exactly zero dollars – hypocrites with their hands out.
good detail in the description
with food, one might add an aroma
Sorry, I thought you guys were just reallocating resources. Thanks for the burger, though. Ok, ok, so back to my box now.
Isn't it ironic. Not quite 99% enough.
Yeah. Not sure why they aren't in the 99%. Sure as heck can't be one-percenters, can they?

Seems as if the people working 18-hour days are upset that freeloaders want to take the fruits of their labor for nothing. Oh the irony.

Will the bongo playing be of the nude variety, a la Matt McConaughey? Or is it already too cold for that?
Only for the girls.
Pretty soon OWS will be setting up border fences and making people show ID to get all that free stuff.
Oh wait.
