Geez! this food crisis is no joke.Who would have ever thought that the “R” word( Ration) would be a word that would come up in the States? Wal-Mart and Costco said that they were doing it with the rice
Just to think, in the past food banks were for the those people who were for the less fortunate. As we are now seeing, were seeing people with advanced degrees and/or good jobs coming to them, not because they are trying to deadbeat anybody. The cost of living has gotten so high…and very unaffordable. Just goes to show that we are really living in some really hard times.
