The Future of Hunger In America 

I wasn’t able to buy food in December but I was luckily blessed to get a new job. I truly thought my life was over once unemployment stopped. I didn’t think I’d make it to 2021. This crisis is real and scary af. Praying for everyone who’s going through it

The reason for most of this is also greed....money is more important than people.....until that changes..this will only ever get worse...

"richest country on earth", no richest corp in the world: its only owners wealth

Many people are going hungry in this country and all Mitch McConnell cares about is protection liability for corporations.

Stop with the PC terminology. It's called HUNGER, starvation and famine thanks to wealth disparity - looking at YOU Bloomberg. Greed is an addiction.

This vid also shows how dependent Americans are on cars and the distance disaster that the petrol age has created.

i'm food insecure. down to one meal a day. I'm glad there is help out there.

Love the series but can the music noise be lowered

Seeds guys and learn new things. We need to go back to the old ways and become less relient on the corporations and gov...! Take care of eachother and be safe out there!

America produces more than enough food if it wants to, its other parts of the world that'll actually starve if things get bad enough.

The current covid19 crisis demonstrates what is wrong with how the world feeds itself! Seeing spoiled dairy products, rotten vegetables and needlessly culled animals across the world should force all of us to rethink our “efficient” food supplies and try to create a system that is better able to withstand a crisis. We need to refocus on local and regional food systems. This doesn’t mean cutting off all trade, but it does mean building diversity, decent livelihoods for workers and opportunities for small and medium-scale companies/farmers to flourish. The goal is to create shorter, more sustainable food supply chains that are closer to our home.

I’m so tired of people saying “the richest country in the world” the country isn’t rich, a profoundly small handful of individuals are rich period

What this pandemic has shown me is that I have to think differently and make changes in my life by becoming more self sufficient by returning to how my ancestors lived. So I started learning how to garden my goal is to get to a place where I don’t have to totally depend on grocery stores. The pandemic has shown me how fragile the system really is and how society has become complacent. It is a human right to have food,shelter, water and health care this capitalist system and society is not working and it never has. So society has to start trying to think differently and trying to find solutions to these problems and making these changes so no one has to suffer.

Odd how all these poor people are driving brand new SUV and have the latest iPhone.... I’m not disputing that millions of Americans through no fault of their own have been thrown out of work due to the lock downs and the covid virus. However there is a case to be made that part of the problem is the general financial illiteracy of the American population who haven’t a clue on how to save and stop buying absolutely everything on credit. Sorry but poverty cant be blamed exclusively on the “system” there is a component of individual responsibility here also.

1.4 billion short for food bank?....why not ask for it from the 740 plus billion military budget.....FFS!

replace economy with "rich peoples yacht money," its more honest

Richest Country, Richest Country, Richest Country, Richest Country yea just keep repeating that until you believe it :)

It may be the richest country in the world but there cannot be another that treats its citizens so badly.

Animals are not ours to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way. Not only is it cruel, but its also incredibly unhealthy for humans to eat animal products. You would be better off to adopt a plant based diet for best health

We need to stop the food waste. I started buying ugly misshapen produce for a discount because it's not pretty enough to go on a shelf. Still tastes the same.

I dont understand why people fighting over toilet paper, seriously cleaning your own butthole with soap and water aint that disgusting.

Don't have children if you can't properly care for them. Selfish.

How do we reconcile these reports of rampant unemployment and food insecurity and the need for more stimulus with the reports of record-setting holiday spending and issues with shipping backlogs of internet orders?

Plant a garden. And it was not us farms that just dumped our milk. The company's that turn our milk into cheese . Butter, ect. Told us to either cut our production back by at least 20% an in some cases by as much as 50%, also some farms had to do both cut back an dump the milk. And we also had beef to sale, but no markets to send them to.

In the US there is always enough food for those who have the money to buy it. For those who have been spendthrifts before the pandemic and in the habit of spending all of every paycheck and making credit card charges to live high and beyond their means, sudden job loss means no savings and no way to buy food or pay monthly bills. Those who have a long pattern of frugal living below their means, of building savings, avoiding debt and owning outright their small home and a practical small vehicle, now find months of job loss an inconvenience but this does not prevent them from feeding their families or being able to stay in their home or pay their utility bills. Those who are unprepared financially are the ones who suffer the most during economic hard times. And a lot of spendthrifts do not even recognize that they are managing their finances poorly until they lose their source of income and have no savings to fall back upon.

These are such trying times on all fronts. We all need to bind together, pray for and help one another.

What about those farms that lost money and destroyed their crops instead of helping to feed Americans. I understand why they did it, but why didn't the government stop in to give this food to help?

That’s our next pandemic: a famine, just like in the old, old and old days- back in the land of Cannon.

The government and the rich are rich. Not the people

Last I checked bloomberg was against stimulus checks

Stop calling it food insecurity it is called starvation start calling it what it is that's the first thing

Video well done. I hope this situation improves soon.

trouble and violence is right around the corner people of the world stay calm and use reason

People need to think twice now about saving. It shouldn't take a pandemic for People to realize that saving some emergency fund isn't all that bad after all.

When I couldn’t find canned foods, eggs, milk, fruit, water, the church and the food pantry bank helped us. Just to get us by till the grocery stores began filling their shelves. I believe it will get worse.

If we stick together we can get though this!!!

Only in Amerika you can have a drive through farmers market 😂🚗

There should not be any corporations and big company in US, just given us the money so we can feed our family!!

"richest country in the world" 🤣 You almost got me there.

I was born and raised in America. We got tired of the high cost and fascist government there. Moved to Philippines in January 2019, life is much easier now. Except we got fat from abundance of unhealthy foods and ease of life here. America will literally shake the last penny from your pockets, people are so used to it there they don't even realize it's so overpriced to live.

if you count people living pay check to pay check, food in security is efeciting a estimated 52 to54 million Americans.

There needs to be more spaces that offer land to help people learn to be self sufficient communities with gardens.

We are debts slaves for corporate

I think celebrities should step up and buy food for food banks that are struggling to help families, it would be a way to give back to the community.

fetching food while driving a car?

The situation is that food production became centralized... which means fewer farmers produce more food... And those people will one day have enough! Like feeding everybody for lousy fiat money... Imagine hyperinflation that would make food production meaningless financially... Hope we don't go there!

It all crazy not to help your fellow citizens

Idea: Non-perishables were hoarded in March. Food drive? “We take MREs”

That is a third of Americans that won’t eat, especially because the stimulus check did not come out. Plus the job market is in a chaos, and lot of jobs are gone or temporarily gone.

ummm what is she talking about 8 months....some of us on the west coast have been locked up since Feb 2020...

The stimulus needs money to feed the hungry not to send to Egypt

The US is a wealthy country. It needs to re organise the supply chains. Wish them luck.

people are starving for food,, right hear in America, shortage of food is serious, because we're the one giving money to poor country, now we need food, open up your eyes and you will see, that thousands are hungry and homeless. and it's going to get worse, and you can take that to the bank.

Robotics and and land dedicated to the production of agriculture’s for the public during a crisis would make a significant difference.

Better learn how to grow your own food and move out of the city's

7:05 soda bottle rolling then blue shirt man running and then.... I mean, why?

Music was not necessary

ive heard that people have to work below min wage to earn thier food stamps? The states are profiting from slave low wage workers?

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - It's going to get worse - much worse over the next few years.

richest PRINTING MACHINE in the world

These companies & corporations need to hire more people instead of trying to produce more production with less labor!!

I know what will feed starving Americans, corporate tax elimination and abolishing minimal wage! That sure will allow desperate starving Americans getting well paid jobs And when we are at it, how about giving up on human rights, we can't afford keeping up with it

I don't like the term "New Normal".

2022 and things have only gotten worse for everyone I know. Including myself.

This comes to me with a SharetheMeal ads. Interesting

The U.S. abandoned it's least rich people and condemned them to death.

Richest country should be counted as... dollar per person in the country... not the amount of money in the country... US is ultra poor if you look at dollar per person.

THE USA CAN NEVER GO HUNGRY WITH ALL THE WASTE too much supply release the supplies.

'Murica, when you're in line for food with a brand new car.

The fact that you register so called monetary wealth with being rich is where you lose the plot

If you have been or are homeless you will be strong through all of this as many people who are use to going without the current situation won't affect them as it will others 🤔

Why the USA considered to be the richest country in the world? People don’t have saving and have to take loans and get mortgages ... A huge amount of its population works for $7-12 per hour🤨

I’m Ferrari insecure…..I have been told I’m one of Billions suffering from this disparity…..subsidize me now!!!

HEY.. HEREs a crazy idea... LET the farmers sell directly to the customer...

Maybe the author of Hunger Games was trying to tell us something.

4:26 Stew Leonard's farm market.

It's clear that we cannot "give away" enough food to solve this problem. Some out-of-the-box action thinking is required. Something needs to be spearheaded at the national level to educate consumers on the need to manage their resources wisely when it comes to food. When those commodities boxes go out I've heard some people complain that they either don't like many of the items or they have no idea what to do with some of the bounty. We have a couple of generations that missed home economics education in high school due to the budget cuts of the past several decades. People have become complacent over the perceived abundance of manufactured convenience foods without realizing that they probably never could afford them in the first place. The purchase of manufactured faux foods is money down the drain. It's really ok to plan menus around thrifty meals made from staple foods, just like great grandma used to do. I know we can eat well in America on a $1 a day per person, as long as one has a kitchen and isn't living in a food desert with no transportation. Some can do this as a choice while some may have to do this to survive. If you don't know how to cook, you'd better learn!

bring back small farms. Consolidation is a killer. did we learn nothing from the Irish famine.

We help each other. People got lay off. Business are closing.

Back in the 80's I used to get 5, 1lb blocks of Butter for $1.00 from the Arab grocery store in our city

There are ranchers in Montana who are paid not to grow harvest or ranch cattle.

They drive in big shiny SUV to a foodbank??? Something wrong there

5:40 Aaaa.... what's happening here...

Sharing will save the world.

The average american weighs a ton and needs lots of food. I am a asian living in Singapore and i just ate a meal that is less than a dollar.

America a donation instead of a nation.

I guess that the future of hunger in America...... just LOOKS GREAT!!

Why is the government not promoting home hardens?

so food stores can get tax write offs to give hungry people thier expired and racid food .

When I share your videos on Facebook, Facebook takes them down

4:41 these are russians and not americans

RICHEST COUNTRY, 🤔😳🙄

Beans and rice 🤗

People in my opinion go out too much to eat or order in. People also want to go to the most expensive grocery story such as Whole foods or Wegmans. Give me a break.

We are the richest country in the world but the wealth is concentrated. This country was built on individualism and you either make it or don’t. This is not a social democracy.

I had to turn this off because of one woman screaming every time she spoke. Everyone else around her spoke in a normal tone. You need to do something about the technical problems in your show.

but the stock market breaks record highs strange.

Hunger sucks. Beans and rice....

Laughs in asian rice and fish.

Why not bring in extra butter and share with others?
