http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/30/us/30f.... MANCHESTER, N.H., Nov. 26 — Food banks around the country are reporting critical shortages that have forced them to ration supplies, distribute staples usually reserved for disaster relief and in some instances close. “It’s one of the most demanding years I’ve seen in my 30 years” in the field, said Catherine D’Amato, president and chief executive of the Greater Boston Food Bank, comparing the situation to the recession of the late 1970s. Its a two page article But, but, how can this be? Our GDP is booming, unemployment is low, we need more H1B (and other types) of employees than ever before. And we are NOT in a recession. Why would people go to food banks? sarcasm | |||
