Campus Action on Food held a meal give-away Tuesday, defying the Dalhousie Student Union's edict. But instead of security guards, they got an olive branch.

CAF is in fact a ratified society beneath NSPIRG (the Nova Scotia Public Research Interest Group). Prior to the Tuesday serving, the group had emailed Shannon Zimmerman wanting to discuss how to confront food issues in the SUB. However, Zimmerman did not respond for over a week, and CAF was ultimately unable to sit down and come to an agreement before the serving. The DSU's letter was not a "peace offering" in that it stipulated specific conditions which for the most part interfere with CAF's goal as a group: to spread awareness on food security and inform students as to how exclusivity contracts as signed by the DSU restrict student choice and exploit students.
