@cherd1971 I have a solution for you, if you have an open mind and are willing to work hard (in the beginning) I am 64 and lived month-to month all my life.

Actually, look at Holly Sklar on minimum wage. Farmers are exploited in the same way, and those supposedly high 2007-9 yearly average farm prices, adjusted for inflation, are in the bottom 25% of all time prices. Subsidies have compensated corn farmers for only 1/6 of the reductions since 1952, wheat 1/5. So it's essentially the same, and the hidden corporate benefits are 6 x or 5 x bigger than the 2-3 hundred billion in farm subsidies.

Sorry, anyone who can afford $7 per day to buy cigarettes should spend that money on food instead of getting food from a food bank. I spend $300 per month to feed 4 people. That's $10 per day to feed 4 people. The price of one pack of cigarettes would feed that one person. Shameful. Stop smoking and leave that food bank food for people who REALLY need it.

Hunger in America was a problem before the "Great Recession". But it was small compared with how it is today.

I attend a high school in a relatively affluent area. What's sad is that nobody wants to donate cans to the canned food drive unless they get extra credit for it. Last year, one of my teachers refused to give extra credit because she believed it was morally wrong. A grand total of 2 people donated cans.
