Food Banks are seeing more people needed food.
Those that run food banks all over America say that demand for their services just continues to explode…
Poverty in America is getting worse, not better. And no amount of spin from Barack Obama or his apologists can change that fact.
This year, it is being projected that food banks in the United States will give away an all-time record 4 billion pounds of food.
Over the past decade, that number has more than doubled.
And that number would be even higher if food banks had more food to give away. The demand has become so crushing that some food banks have actually reduced the amount of food each family gets…
Food banks across the country are seeing a rising demand for free groceries despite the growing economy, leading some charities to reduce the amount of food they offer each family.
Those in need are starting to realize what is going on, so they are getting to the food banks earlier and earlier. For example, one food bank in New Mexico is now getting long lines of people every single day starting at 6:30 in the morning…
“We get lines of people every day, starting at 6:30 in the morning,” said Sheila Moore, who oversees food distribution at The Storehouse, the largest pantry in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and one where food distribution has climbed 15 percent in the past year…
Just because your family doesn’t have to stand in line for food does not mean that everything is okay in America.
The same thing that is happening in New Mexico is also happening in Ohio. Needy people are standing in line at the crack of dawn so that they can be sure to get something “before the food runs out”…
Lisa Hamler-Fugitt, executive director of the Ohio Association of Food Banks, who has been working in food charities since the 1980s, said that when earlier economic downturns ended, food demand declined, but not this time.
“People keep coming earlier and earlier, they’re standing in line, hoping they get there before the food runs out,” Hamler-Fugitt said.
Resource shortage, diminished dopamine activity, increased amygdala activation, anger, irritation, and motivation.
This is how it starts, but it appears it is only the beginning.
Apocalypse cometh™
i would like to see the numbers of people who just use the food banks to avoid spending their money and if those who use them have expensive smart phones and the accompanied large cell contracts.
no doubt hardship is increasing at a very fast pace but so is the lack of shame of using food banks.
all told it will add to the angst as the collapse accelerates
Most are not in true poverty. They are on their smartphones while waiting in line. For the most part it is people who do not work, who want more free stuff, and have all the time in the world to wait in line for it.

K-selected person who is chronically short of food: “Plant a garden.”
R-selected person who is chronically short of food: “March in protest, demanding more food be redistributed in your direction by the political system.”
I don’t know how, but people always manage to string these things along for much longer than it seems like they should be able to. So even though it feels like this thing should come apart next week, it’ll probably still be years. It’s impressive, in a bizarro-world sort of way.
Still, what can’t continue won’t, and the longer we drag it out the worse it’s going to be. There’s a reason the Soviets and the Red Chinese had better bodycounts than the Nazis, even though the Germans were more efficient.
