Gov't Denies Homeless People Food by Raiding Charity, Pouring Bleach on Food to Destroy It

Kansas City, MO — Earlier this month, the kind folks over at Free Hot Soup Kansas City hosted a picnic at their local park and invited hundreds of homeless people to partake in the food.

Because they are not a business or a food organisation and are just friends cooking with friends, members of the group stated that they do not need a permit. However, government officials disagreed and raided their event, seized the food, poured bleach all over it, and the homeless people expecting it went hungry that day.

Free Hot Soup KC had setup in the park on the morning of November 5 to eat and distribute to the homeless, home-cooked chili, foil wrapped sandwiches, and vats of soup. However, this food never made it to the mouths of those for which it was meant because the Health Department hadn't been paid off in the form of a permit to allow it.

"E. coli or salmonella or listeria can grow in the food," department director Rex Archer said. "And then you give that to homeless people who are more vulnerable, they will end up in the ER and even die from that exposure."

Apparently, a Health Department permit is E. coli's kryptonite.

The town's mayor also believes in the notion that paying the state for a piece of paper to serve hungry people food is some sort of magical defense against food-borne illnesses.

"Regarding the incident involving Free Hot Soup," Mayor Sly James tweeted, "rules are there to protect the public's health, and all groups must follow them, no exceptions."
