Who Said "There's No Such Thing As Free Onions"?

This morning I wandered to Syntagma square here in Athens, only to see a large crowd of people gathering.
As always, a crowd in Syntagma means that someone is protesting something, but today it was different.  Today it was less about the throwing rocks and shooting tear gas, and more about...
Free onions!
There were trucks full of food and they were giving it away.
It's apparently a protest from farmers, although I'm not really sure what free onions symbolizes.
But who can complain about free onions?
