Livid lower Manhattan residents went off on Zuccotti Park protesters at a  heated Community Board 1 meeting last night and blasted politicians for not  controlling the chaos.

“They’re defecating on our doorsteps,” fumed board member Catherine Hughes, a  stay-at-home mom who lives one block from the protest. “The cowbells start at 4  a.m. and the drumming goes past 10 a.m. A lot of people are very frustrated. A  lot of people are concerned about the safety of our kids.”

Fed-up homeowners said they’ve been insulted and harassed as they trek to  their jobs each morning. “The protesters taunt people who are on their way to  work,” said James Fernandez, 51.

The meeting, packed with more than 200 people, spilled out onto the street,  where Zuccotti sympathizers began sparring with their critics.

Board member Paul Cantor said sleepless residents can’t take the incessant  racket. “If people can’t sleep ... then that’s a problem,” he said.

Despite the complaints, the board unanimously voted for a resolution  supporting the protesters’ right to stay in the park but called for a crackdown  on noise, public urination and defecation, and disruptive barricades.

The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday -- because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to  provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as  protesters.

For three days beginning tomorrow, the cooks will serve only brown rice and  other spartan grub instead of the usual menu of organic chicken and vegetables,  spaghetti bolognese, and roasted beet and sheep’s-milk-cheese salad.

They will also provide directions to local soup kitchens for the vagrants,  criminals and other freeloaders who have been descending on Zuccotti Park in  increasing numbers every day.

To show they mean business, the kitchen staff refused to serve any food for  two hours yesterday in order to meet with organizers to air their grievances,  sources said.
