I noticed that most of the people in the linked article are older. Those do not look like young families that are starving. Interesting picture.

Re: Million New Yorkers Can't Afford Food As Hunger Crisis Worsens
Did anyone read the first comment under the article? I found it very interesting and extremely on target regarding the majority of Americans today - apathetic and lazy. AND, if you take "Hobby Farmer" comment to the next level of thought, you can see what will happen to the majority of those apathetic, lazy Americans if the SHTF...they will elect to starve rather than commit to hard work for food. And THEY didn't even do the real hard work, all they had to do was pick veggies and that was too much. SMH

Here is the comment:

"I run a hobby farm to feed my children healthy food that I know what went into it. Raise steers and chicken which provide manure to my compost heaps, which improve the soil, which helps grow amazing food. It's endless work but your body responds and grows stronger and healthier the more you live this life (at least that's what I tell my boys to motivate them to help me with chores).

This spring when things looked really bad, I tilled up about an acre of my land and grew a MASSIVE organic garden. 4-5 varieties of potatoes, endless tomatoes (over 100 plants), corn, peppers, etc. I had spoken to leaders of 2 local churches and volunteers at several food banks. Everybody assured me they would help with the harvest and take as much as I could provide them.

I moved hundreds of yards of mulch. Weeded, watered (from a cistern hooked up to my barn), and tended the plants. I grew enough food to feed an army....and I couldn't give it away. The churches sent a couple people who picked the best of everything and left with very little. The food banks told me they wanted frozen/processed food to reduce the spread of COVID ("Hello! it's a farm, we can social distance!")

One woman asked me if I could sell the produce at a stand on my land and give her the money. One gentleman who was referred to me as he was on assistance from a church told me it was too much work to come pick the produce. Several people from a church told me they'd happily take as much food as I could deliver to their house...but weren't interested in picking it themselves.

We offered canning classing and how to store a harvest. Zero takers.

I did have one family show up and help themselves gratefully to all the food they could dig up or pick. That one family was so grateful for the help it almost made the sweat and work worth it.

Not sure the purpose of this rant other than: this was a one year experiment that I won't do next time.

We wound up canning/freezing/drying as much as we could keep. We did drop off deliveries at various places because I'm a sucker....but people are lazy. Give something away and it's not valued."

In the seventh month of the virus pandemic, New York City is still in shambles, with more than half a million residents unemployed as the small business collapse continues. Broadway is closed, Manhattan offices are empty as remote work dominates, violent crime is surging, and an exodus of people from the city has created a perfect storm of economic chaos that will hunt many New Yorkers for years.

A byproduct of the virus-induced economic downturn is food and housing insecurity for millions of people in the Tri-state area. Deep economic scarring produced by permanent job loss has left many people in a bind; some working-poor may never recover while others could take years.

Food and housing insecurity will be, or should be, a hot subject as millions in the Tri-state area are suffering ahead of the holidays. Readers may recall in early October, the Community FoodBank of New Jersey warned that more than one million New Jerseyans were expected to suffer food insecurity by the end of the year.

Now the problem is becoming more widespread. At least one million New Yorkers are expected, or will soon, experience food insecurity, according to FOX 5 NY.

Alexander Rapaport, the executive director of Masbia soup kitchen network, said, "We have done disasters before, but nothing is even close to what we are doing now," referring to the long lines at food banks across the city is all too common.

This is proof that there are not a lot of vegans. Raw veggies in its natural state are not appealing unless its washed and put in display at the store, even then, its not the grocery stores big seller. Very little profit

The one guy who said it was too much work, could be elderly, in bad health or have allergies. I know that its my problem. Being outside near too much pollen and plants makes me itchy and hard to breathe

As to few wanting to visit the farm or garden, people are wary, scared of visiting a strangers property, too much crime episodes , some of which happens on farms and remote areas, they dont want to be a victim in case the food offer was just a lure. lol.

There's a pinned thread about Californians invading Montana. This is what will happen there too if they are allowed to move there in huge numbers.

The yuppie/hipster snobs ruined the quality of life in New York for old time New Yorkers. It wasn't always a gntrified shithole that it is today. Average working folk were able to live there at one time even though it was always a bit more expensive than anywhere else.

What you are all witnessing here and the thread about Montana is the result of UNCHECKED GREED and CLASSISM. Simple as that.

BS ! New Yorkers are most likely the largest recipients of EBT / SNAP cards in the nation, they also line up for the free food given out from the Food Banks and Salvation Army. Look at the video images, it's the land of the Obese.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79520267



Cheap carbs with little nutritional value makes a person fat. You eat and then are hungry a short time later and eat again because the body is starving. And yeah there are just chronic emotional eaters as well. But if a person eats a mainly carnivore diet with some fruits and vegetables they won’t get hungry as much and crave carbs. But that is more expensive but worth it because yiubfeel fuller for longer and health improves.

I recall reading a study of most major cities in the world and the assessment that something about them gave them socioeconomic gravity that went beyond certain moments, certain events and certain trends.

London, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, etc, were either destroyed (massive bombing) or forced into big-time paralysis by WWII, the Great Depression, etc. But they all managed to come roaring back.

NYC saw millions leave in the 1970s. Then several decades later, it saw its population become larger than ever before in its 200-plus history.

The 'hobby farmer' is lucky to be alive! 'Suckers' as he/she described themselves, are going to be the first casualties as this situation gets worse - it shall. The virus hoax was just adding insult to injury: state governors have been forcing farmers to destroy their crops and livestock because of this mythical 'virus!' I never thought I'd see the day that Americans stood there and did nothing under an obvious, old, done-100-times Communist tactic!

A farmer (or home gardner) stupid enough to tell a church or social welfare agency that they have enough of anything to give away deserves anything he gets. All they're going to send you are street bums, ex-cons, 'at risk youth' and illegal alien gang assassins; in short, the kind that nobody else wants around. They'll try to guilt-trip you into babysitting these wastes of oxygen for them and if one of them stubs their toe on your property, you get sued.

In Oklahoma, if somebody tries to fuck with you on your property, you can probably still shoot them too. Unlike other states; in most other states these days, familiarity, including charity, with anybody is an invitation to misery. Now we really are running out of food: it's not just bad management and fake news. There's a shorter growing season for USA now and this is only the start of the Grand Solar Minimum. TPTB know that and media won't mention it, just the same bullshit about 'global warming.'

Now we all know they're out to get us! They knew we were going to have less food already and then started the virus hoax to make us destroy what we had!

The dumbed down masses have become nothing but masktard, spineless sheep that cannot even entertain a logical or critical reasoning thought. It is going to be tough seeing this ship go down. Really tough - heartbreaking.
