Parents skipping meals so children don’t go hungry as families struggle with longest cost of living squeeze in 60 years

Follow the actions of your Corporate and Political Leaders...They are eating good. Kill yourself a fat tender pig...remove it's clothe...skin and fire up the Barby! There is plenty of meat out there...

Am I the only one who told their kids to either eat it or wear it, their choice?

LoL, in my defense they were big strapping boys.

ever been to a food bank, the illegals wipe it clean? I don't give to feed mexicans any longer

My kids wore name brand clothing to school when they were in school and I was a single working mom so they qualified for free lunches.Never once did I buy at full cost.I carefully watched the yard sales listed in the paper and would go to the higher class neighborhoods to get clothing.Wealthy people get rid of clothing and it still looks new.I would buy,wash well,and the kids never knew the clothing came from a yard sale.Jeans would be as low as $1 and look new.So just because kids dress well certainly doesnt mean they are paying full price for them.
There was also a local consignment store near and I would take clothes they out grew and sell them there so it actually cost me very little for my children to dress very well.

I couldn't believe that things are that bad in US. Seriously, you are talking about getting clothes from garage sales and eating cheapest food out there! I don't think that here up north things are much different from economical standpoint, but here I am, a student on entry position in a company, making 40 grands a year, which is not a lot but enough for one person living in a big city. I buy every apple gadget out there, go to restaurants, bars, mountain skiing during the winter, and still manage to save money to pay for my education.

The father and mother only need to eat once a day, in dire times.

Time to go to the streets to claim your share of the typical American multi-mega-calorie diet.

Yessa! Where's the American Heart? KfC and MacDonald's can offer the US public the Austerity Burger...Made cheaply in some Chinese Sweat Kitchen...

Come people... think!!!! Yes they can!!! Make me King of America for a day and all will be fed..

Stop breeding you stupid apes.

Been doing that for years. Sad reality.

I do that a lot - same reason - but it makes me cranky

Tried, got denied - not everyone who needs it can get it

people are raising families of four and more on less than you make per year and that is why they are struggling. 40k for one person is a fortune these days.

Just wondering how you would feed all if you were "king for the day"

**Who gives a shit!!! I hope they eat cardboard next year (those who voted Obama, suck it up!!!)

I'm sorry to hear many members of GLP going without food. Here is a healthy delicious and very cheap recipe that can cost you less than 3 dollars but will serve at least 2 people well.

Fava Beans (aka Broad beans):

Ingredients:

300 gram of broad beans in water(195 gm drained)
1 table spoon oil (any vegetable oil works)
Half an Onion, chopped and diced
One Tomato, chopped and diced
Two table spoons water
3 tables spoons of tomato paste
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil (optional, more if you like)
Parsley (Optional, as much as you'd like, served as a garnish)


Spices: half table spoon of cumin, teaspoon of all spice, salt and pepper to taste, a pinch of red pepper (or more if you like it spicy).


Heat the 1 table spoon of vegetable oil in a pan, then add the onion and stirfry for a few minutes with salt. Then add the tomato and the tomato paste along with the broad beans. Let the broad beans be heated for a few minutes in the pan, then take it out of the fire and mash it with a masher (you could use a spoon too). Add the spices and the water and mix, heat for a minute or two. Then serve with olive oil and parsley on top.
