Bacon Oppression

I discovered this online. An LAist photographer took this shot and others.

The government only likes the pork that subsides bridges that go nowhere in Alaska or subsidize failing financial institutions.

But, there is even more proof that pork on the street threatens the status quo. That's right good people, hot dog vendors, primarily Latina/os, are being harassed and having their entire carts destroyed by the police, that some refer to as pigs..

Now, the vegan brothers and sisters may say that this is karma, but my good culinary comrades, this represents the livelihoods of many of these vendors. They are like the ice cream cart that ringadings its bell down city sidewalks calling children to have a sweet treat of Youth. They provide a sustenance, while not certified organic, is an organic place for late night city dwellers to get the food they need at what they can afford.

While I wish all these vendors offered alternative meats at all their carts, the LAPD is using "codes" and "permits" to say they are serving and protecting the community from bringing home the bacon. The LAPD is promoting the bacon as hazardous food idea put forth by the City of L.A., but it's just a ruse to keep these vendors from sharing their taste of Los Angeles. L.A. can legalize smog, but make bacon illegal. What else will these racist culinary villains do next?
