Breadlines. Soviet union, 1976.









And i lied. These are breadlines, Finland, present time.

There is not enough food for these people to be shared. They wait, no matter what the weather is like, they wait, for hours and hours, just to be told that there is no more food left. They have fallen through the safety networks that society has put in place. Often very sick individuals, without any kind of social network. 3 choices for them. They remain hungry, they go dumpster diving or they steal.

Pleased to read that things are better in America.

Yeah, well I don't know for how much longer.

I chastise my family for the ridiculous amount of waste. I tell them almost daily that I pray they will never see the day in the future, where they will cry for the food they waste today.

We know hard times are coming. That is why we are trying so hard to shore up our community food co-op. Right now things are okay.

We have added the BOGO connection. Many of our group does not need the extra food, so when they purchase "Buy One Get One Free", they donate the free item. 

I am sorry for anyone that"has" to go hungry. I know the importance of being able to make stone soup. However, in a time when all are hungry, stealing food, will come at a much higher price. 

I will gladly share all that I have to give, but even I will walk the long mile to allow a child to have my portion, so I am going to be a bit territorial if some other adult comes along with plans to steal from that child. Maybe I am being a bit Mama Bearish, but forgive me for that, please.
