The Dam square in Amsterdam is the centre of a guerrilla campaign by foodtrucks on the World Food Day October 16th. From 12.30 to 13.30 o’clock the trucks serve a free lunch to get attention for the lack of food diversity on the streets of the capital. Most of the mobile food stands sell hotdogs or ‘oliebollen’ (deep-fried dough). The Food Line-Up and its initiator Lotte Wouters want to motivate the government to take the New York policy for food trucks as an example. The streets in New York provide a huge diversity of food trucks that are used by all social classes and backgrounds.
