scumbalina said:Not if you say it's veganOne of the most popular places to eat where I live is an all-you-can eat buffet chinese place, it's popular cos the food is lush lush lush, it's dirt cheap. It also happens to be vegan, but I think when foods promoted as yummy/healthy/cheap whatever, that's what grabs peoples attention. If you don;t say it's got no meat/dairy. people probably won;t notice as long as you're not making some stereotypical vegan slop or selling raw tofu etc
agree mostly andp.s. yep i'm mostly vegan and i eat loads in those .. feel they have gone downhill a bit lately?? some don't do broccli now .. peking palace in holloway is the bollix!

Don't swallow the cap
Community canteens= sociable environment= community spirit= solidarity= bad for the government.
Plus I live in a largely west indian area, so the food in my local canteen would be awesome

What about breakfast, luncheon, high tea, and dinner for those of us choosing to patronise Le Cantine de Posh?jonH said:

I always thought you were some lifestyle middle-class hippy pretending to be a prole. This thread has confirmed that.

Would it be compulsory? Because you can feck away off if it is - I like cooking for my family and friends, and get sick of canteen slop very quickly. I can't imagine anything worse than having to eat communal grub for every meal - my work canteen is pretty good but it ain't home cooking.

Very few I know are mung bean eaters.
I used to do a nice baked lentil pie with tomatoes when I was on the dole.
Now I'm working it's back to good old cow pie.
Edit: Hang on tyranny + vegetarianism =

u on form tonite my friend! .. no none of the above sadly and i'm not mad on mung beans either .. more of a chips and beans and pea fritter type of veggie i am afraid .. ( anti factory farming rather than animal rights )
p.s. i was a strasser last week!! .. i get so confused! i will be (long) knifing myself if i'm not careful n if you don't get there first!
p.s. you appear to misunderstand the diferrence between the 'tyranny' of the maj ( what the @/ultra/autonomist left and me support ) and the tyranny of the minority which is what the far right and leninist left support

Embrace the confusion!
Once a week, people from my estate (on a rota) bring food to the back room of the local pub. The charge is £1.50 for a nutritious vegan meal.
It's called "peoples kitchen" and not too hard to facilitate.
Highly recommended, not all the way to the idea in the OP but a practical step towards it that has happened every week (apart from the odd break e.g in summer) for 10 years.

It's a fine idea in principle, but in practice I strongly doubt that many people who can afford not to will want to queue up at community canteens for their food - and making the food vegan is going to massively reduce that already small pool of people.
Food's probably cheaper now, in relative terms, than it's been at any other point in history though so things could all change if inflation hits.

seeing as the only thing humans really need is food water and shelter, it seems that the planet is paying an unbearable price at the moment.Yossarian said:
To say food is cheap is slightly simplistic. It might seem cheap to you but those who pay for the subsidy have to put up with war, water shortages and pollution as well as the curtailment of their basic rights.
Things have become over complicated and people are paying the price, we must act and queuing with your friends and neighbours would alleviate the situation in many ways....
...Improved solidarity, improved communications, economies of scale etc
In a country raised on the kind of mush they serve for school dinners, I believe it would take war, natural disaster, or something else leading to massive food shortages to overcome people's psychological resistance to eating in canteens. Or maybe my school just had really crappy food.
