«Breaking News» Health officials pour bleach on vats of soup, chili and sandwiches meant for homeless people

Health officials poured bleach on vats of food made for homeless people because it was being distributed by volunteers who didn't have a permit to do so.

The food, which included sandwiches, home-made chili and soup, was due to be handed out in parks across Kansas City, Missouri, by a volunteer group Free Hot Soup KC.

However, on Sunday November 5, health officials raided the parks as they were setting up, pouring away soup and spraying the rest of the food with toxic chemicals that would make it inedible.

Defending the move, the Health Department said they were protecting the health of homeless people because 'E. coli or salmonella or listeria can grow in food.'

Free Hot Soup KC hit back, saying permits are not required because they are not an organization and they are merely sharing soup with fellow citizens - and yesterday, a week after the sting, they returned to the parks, this time with no opposition.

'Outdoor food sharing is one of the oldest forms of human communication,' Kirsten Anderson of the Southern Legal Council told KCTV5. 

'The reason it's protected is that it communicates a message.'

Another attorney working with the group, Amy Bell, told KSHB: '[F]or many people here, it's a freedom of religion issue ... that their religion dictates that they come and share their food and help the needy.'

The group, founded in November 2015, operates using a buddy system to prepare, store, transport and distribute food once a week, and manage crowd control and cleanliness.

According to their Facebook page, they appoint a lead cook who prepares at least three gallons of soup, which is then stored in a cooler to be transported to a local park. 

One woman who has been homeless for two years, Jackie Richardson, told KSHB that she struggled last week because she arrived at the park shortly after the raid

They serve from 2pm until the food is gone, with around three people running the service.  

If there is any food leftover, it's sent to a local church which acts as a sanctuary for homeless people.

Officials insist they feared that the freshly-made produce would pose a mortal risk to homeless people. There is no evidence of any homeless people being sickened by food from Free Hot Soup KC in the three years it's been running.

But one woman who has been homeless for two years, Jackie Richardson, told KSHB that she struggled last week because she arrived at the park shortly after the raid.

'All week was a hard week for me, because I didn't have any of the food I usually get from over here at the park,' she said, adding that the volunteers are 'angels'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
