Peace DOES have a flavor.  In my house the flavor of peace is macaroni and cheese for my kid with eggs benedict for me and occasional pumpkin pancakes to seal the deal for my husband.  We all have a price, and food is always the answer in my house.

There is more to San Francisco cuisine than Rice-A-Roni.  The last time I used the rice/San Francisco food reference, I got more than a few emails from readers that thought it was a bit on the shallow side.  My apologies.  San Francisco is noted for being home to some of the best restaurants in the US, like Perbacco (no, they are not a sponsor).

We all have a responsibility to know how our food ends up on our plates.  I’ve seen the slaughter videos (horrifying BTW), and I still eat beef.  I have witnessed a chicken lose his head (disturbing), and I still eat chicken.  But I have to say, I’m not cooking live lobster or crab.  My husband is allergic to shellfish, so it doesn’t come up all that often, but I’m not going to fight my food.  Lobsters and crab have a documented history of fighting the cooking process.  Not this girl.  Thanks, but no.  This next Call is looking for your brand of rebellion.  Lobsters and crabs are not eligible to apply…

CALL for ENTRIES: The Art of Rebellion

 

Learn more about the Gowanus Print Lab in Brooklyn NY!2011 has been a year of rebellion.  This year has seen long-standing monarchs overthrown in Egypt and Libya and mass protests for calling change in the economic-political power structure in Europe and the United States, most notably in Occupy Wall Street.

Dissent at this level has not been seen since the late 1960’s, where protesters developed both nonviolent and more radical protest techniques that are still used in today’s struggles.

Young people in particular are standing up and using their voice, and in times of social turmoil and political upheaval art can be used as a powerful and emotional communicative tool.

Open to currently enrolled students

If food were a mural, I think it would be a giant, thin-crust pizza.  You can put anything into it or seperate it into sections.  It is nutrionally dense and can certainly say something about the artist that creates it.  The thin-crust part?  Well, in both art and pizza, I think it is about the toppings, not what they’re on.  This next Call wants your mural ideas (pizza or non-pizza related) and more.  Take a look…
