Sam Bliss: Hope in Food, not Cops

Sam Bliss doesn’t just wish for markets based on gift-giving and free food - he actively tries to make that a reality. 

Sam works with Food Not Cops, a chapter of Food Not Bombs based in Burlington, VT. For more than 6 years, Sam and his colleagues prepare and distribute food to the broader community, including the unhoused population but also to others in the community. 

We discuss how anarchism can actually mean trust in communities to self-regulate and how to imagine a world where consumption is based on care, not monetary wealth. If you want to do something to get involved feeding people, but don't know where to start, this is a great episode for you. 

Plus, tune in to hear Abbie reveal her hidden kitchen preferences, Tim disclose his complicated hair-care, and the group wonder if sheep are literal, or metaphorical.
