Thread: Why is there a hunger problem in the U.S.?

Don't worry, there will be many Starving mouths to feed in the near future if the powers that be get their civil war started, I hope all of you have at least 6 months of food stored and means to defend it.

Another huge area for improvement are community gardens

Empty lots and areas in the inner city can be used for small "Victory Gardens" this is becoming popular again..
The reverse of this is about dumb enough to drive you to drink, city and towns not allowing gardening

We have a pretty good one in the middle of town here and from what I understand nearly 100% of the vegis go straight to the food banks and the Mission..

Ron Finley- the "Guerilla Gardener" has some really cool stuff on exactly that.

At my house in Iowa City, the back yard was full of trees. I converted part of the sunny front yard into a garden. Iowa City is an extremely liberal spot in Iowa. Put it this way, the town is surrounded by these signs.



They made me so safe knowing that terrorists were not allowed to bomb our community.

Anyway, despite the high density of Birkenstocks in the area, half of the people walking past my garden praised me for it while the other half chewed me out for it. Some even went so far as to call the police on me for the garden! A few regularly threw bags of dog poop into it. The garden remained.

Put out a sign that says "Thanks for the free manure!"

Angry people hate it when they think they are accidentally helping. OTOH, your lawn could be full of turds the next day.

I did humanure composting in my back yard for almost 10 years so the dog poop was easily handled.

Glen, You live in the heartland of America. Most of us are speaking through the crescent moon cut out in the door :<0) god I hope somebody doesn't tip this thing over before I get out.

Utopian,,, Around here you would see foot prints all through your garden and a lack of produce. There is a certain group of people that think if you leave it where they can see it, it must be free.

Our city had these free garden spaces around but I see now they come up for lease every year.

Sure, I'd like to talk about Donald TRUMP and what he will do to help the free stuff army eat!! Lets Chat.....

Hey FAL. Not sure what there would be to talk about since your last post claims a civil war is right around the corner. Don't think he's going to be able to do anything about that unless you are aware of his plan. Do tell .....
