[ CRASH COURSE ] BY JACOB WALSH
It’s a chaotic time. Every week has felt like a month in the current news cycle. Let’s just say that a year of the Trump administration has left a lot of people fired up about a lot of issues. Dissent is the highest form of patriotism, and our right to protest is so important that it’s there in the first amendment -- right along with freedom of speech. So when something needs to change, lace up your boots, grab a sign, and get together with your allies to make your voices heard. But being out in Washington Square Park all day or marching down East Main Street is going to take energy, so remember to feed your body well. To help out, CITY has a few ideas on how to fuel up for your protest.
• Turns out that water is the key to everything (physical functioning, mental acuity, immortality, etc.) • Regular, coconut, or otherwise. Get some seltzer if water is too boring. Skip the Perrier, though; it’s probably not great to look bougie at a protest. • Key during moving demonstrations, especially during the hotter months. But map out your public restrooms.
• A big vat of chili never killed anybody. • Especially good for stationary displays of resistance. Gather ‘round for some slop, y’all. • Encourage a PYOP system (Provide Your Own Protein) and keep the base vegan so everyone can play.
• Avocado is business up front, p nutrient-rich, high in fiber, and rules. Don’t forget the cilantro.
• Bring a ton of hummus: It’s den and is a good anti-inflammator you’ll bring pine nuts, too.
