HUNGER AFFECTS ALL OF HUMANITY.
So many people who never thought they would need food assistance are now asking for help from their local food bank. They have lost their jobs through massive layoffs, and despair is a sinking ship. Elderly people on fixed incomes are finding that costs are out-pacing their incomes. Who thought the senior years would be the hardship it has become for many people, who worked so hard for so many years.

ReplyDeleteWell played! Thank you for sharing such an important post. I've just started reading "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle," and I tell you, between the hunger epidemic in this country (and that is what it is) and the genetically modified food we're forced to eat (do you remember kids -- esp. from poorer families -- having ADD, diabetes, asthma, etc. years ago? I don't.), and the lack of food education...it just makes me nuts. I could stay on this soapbox all day...But it's your blog so I won't. ;-)
