I remember doing a demo against McDonald’s in the early nineties. We had the bright idea to not just protest but to bring food, too, that way we could offer people an alternative to a Big Mac. Genius, right? If only we had brought actual food that people wanted to eat. Instead it was, and the shame is with me to this day, Fantastic Food Falafel. Yes, falafel from a box. Now look at McDonalds, they’re even bigger, and it’s all our fault.
So it makes me happy to see these cupcakes from Sugar Crash Mobile Bakery’s debut, a benefit for Josh Harper. The revolution will be frosted.
Vive the frosted revolution! Those look amazing. I want to take my pitchfork into the street now! Or maybe just my fork, a napkin and a quart of almond milk.

This is just. so. awesome. And very inspiring. I definitely want to put my mad vegan skillz toward fund-raising/activism. Sigh.

Can the guilt — if they didn’t like the falafal, it’s their loss! It’s what I had for dinner tonight, yes, the original FF mix. Still tasty after all these years.
