Langar: Free Vegetarian Food for Everyone

Filed Under Education, News on 2007-05-21, 11:59

Rubin sent over this link about a congressman who is attempting to live on food stamps, but had his peanut butter and jelly confiscated by the TSA when trying to fly. Comments on the state of our transportation security aside, this reminded me of something I had once seen in a television show awhile back, kitchens that provide free, vegetarian food to anyone. I believe I first saw it on Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations”. I pulled up the wikipedia article and figured I’d put a link here to share with everyone and to “blogmark” it for myself. For those too lazy to click, “Langar (Punjabi: ਲੰਗਰ) is the term used in the Sikh religion for the free, vegetarian-only food served in a Gurdwara and eaten by everyone sitting as equals.”

I wish something like this was here in the states (and all over the world). I think life would be a lot better for everyone if there were full stomachs all around.

Very good. I personally think that wigs most beautiful women in the world are black women with natural or natural unrelaxed afros, dreadlocks unrelaxed. One thing that makes natural lace wigs so exciting to see is that it is so rare to see (on females), even here in New York or New Jersey. Most sistas have time boring, ugly, relaxed front wigs They take the beauty of their own genes for granted! My own sister, my mother all relax their hair extensions.
