    here in Florida when you hand out food, the cops use the excuse of “food safety” to shut you down or even fine and arrest you

    When I went to UF the local Hare Krishna temple used to set up on the quad and serve food (for a nominal $1 a plate but you didn’t have to pay). I wonder if they’re still able to do that.

      I think it makes a difference if it’s done in a designated area where you have permission, like a University or church. There’s an old man in Tampa who has been arrested a bunch of times because he hands out sandwiches, but he just goes around the street doing it.
