Apparently the City of Orlando has an ordinance that bans feeding large groups of people in public parks. A local group, Orlando Food Not Bombs, had started to feed the poor in the city's park. Local businesses and people began to complain, so the city passed an ordinance that bans serving food to more than 25 people. So the group addapted and other groups joined in to support this vital service. Now people are being arrested for feeding the poor. Check out the article on the Beliefnet Blog.

My suggestion is to not support any business in Orlando, and discourage anyone from doing business in Orlando. Heck don't visit Orlando unless it's to help serve food to the poor. Find productive ways to support the people of Orlando who serve the poor.
