Think about what this means. A potential or possible food shortage for Americans across the country. We have seen how people act when they may not get that flat screen tv on Black Friday. This could be worse than that could ever be. You know that feeling when you are hungry and you don’t know where you will find your next meal. No! Great. I do. I even know the fear of not being able to feed my daughter.
There have been plenty of times when I went hungry so she didn’t. Having to choose between both of us eating one meal and her eating three meals is hard but a decision I have had to make. The hunger will drive you insane. You can’t think clearly. You certainly can’t function very well. So, again, what will happen when more people have to do this. Not because of food insecurity, rather food shortage. Below are some links to go read and a channel to check out.
