We celebrated International Day of Peace today by feeding hundreds of homeless people, despite the fact that it is illegal to do so! How UNpeaceful is that?!

For us, it's more incentive to care for our fellow brother and sister in the face of the tyrannical police state. To comply unjust laws is to support and perpetuate all the problems. That's why we choose to live in the Garden of Eden, so that every day we create the world we want to live in.

The Eden Knights invested 35 man hours in harvesting, preparing, packaging, delivering, serving, and cleaning up 300+ meals for the homeless people in downtown Fort Worth, Texas on this fine Wednesday. That's 7 hours more efficient than our last feed the need event!

Quinn rocked his new Steemit T to show some love for this cutting-edge community! When we do something we like to benefit and help as many people as possible! Steemians are some of our new FAVORITE people!

We prepared 8 gallons of 2 delicious and healthy soups, hot dogs, guacamole, fresh harvested peaches, apples, strawberries, pastries, and bottles of filtered water in our sustainable outdoor kitchen using salvaged resources and stoves built out of dirt to provide for people in need. 

We do more than white bread sandwiches. This is sustainable, delicious, and healthy food that is better than some people with homes eat! 

We saddled up the Eden Knights and buckled in the soup to travel to downtown Fort Worth, where people are living on the streets. 

There are hundreds of thousands of homeless people in this country, the richest nation on earth! Around 3,000 people are homeless in the DFW metroplex area. 

When we arrived on the side of the road, someone told us we risked being fined if we served homemade food on a particular corner, because it is actually illegal to feed the homeless in our area without first spending time acquiring costly permits, licenses, and equipment.

We do not bend to fit ourselves to systems that do not align with our values, so we set up across the street and served anyway. There were actually security vans that patrolled the area looking for illegal feedings that we had to avoid!

People kept coming and coming! For over an hour, hundreds of people lined up to fill their bellies and talk with us. 

The soup was a big hit, and many people were happy to have fresh apples, peaches, and strawberries! 

Some people were just excited to see a friendly face and engage in real human interaction. Not only is being homeless physically difficult by being out in the dirty, loud, harsh environment every day, but these people are treated like cockroaches. To have a meal better than what they usually get is great, but to have a real conversation with people who actually care is where the real value is, and we're committed to doing that. 

Thanks to our abundance, it wasn't the homeless people looking through the garbage today! We even collected the dishes and silverware from the trash to bring home and clean in our well water for reuse, per our sustainable standards. 

Of course, we brought our children, who responsibly occupied themselves in play, We were warned that this was not a safe area for women and children because 30% of the homeless population here are registered sex offenders, but we do not operate in fear. We held space for peace and love, and our mission was a great success! 

This is what we do. We exist not only to serve our fellow man, but to show that a better way is possible. There is truly an abundance of everything. It is our right, duty, and privilege to share, and we are grateful for the opportunity to do so.

We do this with or without Steemit, but it is really satisfying to use this platform to show how easy and fun caring for others can be! We're so grateful for all the support we've received here! Everything we earn from our operations, including the rewards we receive on this revolutionary exchange, are dedicated to feeding, clothing, housing, and educating more people than ever before! 

Poverty is not a difficult problem to solve, but will take a reconsideration of values. Not only does 40% of the food produced in America get thrown away, which is tragic in itself, but this country spends almost $600 billion a year on war. We believe resources can be better utilized, and we show how.
