It seems to me that before food stamps, how did people get food to feed themselves. People need to go back to the basics. Learning how to grow a garden and can their food. Also what ever happened to the times they could glean. I have a prepper friend from another state and she said that they glean at the end of the season from farmers. They have a certain day and time for people to come pick anything they want. She does it all the time and then goes home to can it. She said it helps keep her food supply up that way. Wish we had that around here. I am going to check into some of the farms near here. Also a lot of churches have food pantries for the needy as well. We do it at our church. We have 2 that are in great need of food as they are handicapped and one we have to take the food to her because neither her nor her handicapped son drive. But also a lot of people in our area don’t want to work and has as much as said they want the gov. to take care of them. They would rather sit on their butts and collect welfare than to get a job. Makes you wonder if the food stamp program is worth it. My stance is that it has made a lot of people lazy and that will come back to bite them when a real SHTF situation does happen.
