We are headed for lean times

We are headed for leaner times. If you have the money stock up on water and non perishable food items because none of us except people making $200k or more will be food insecure. The ultra poor like the disabled and elderly that only get Social Security and others will experience high rates of malnutrition and starvation. The middle class will become low income. In 2023, 20,500 Americans died of starvation. People strongly believe that because 62% of the population is fat that starvation does not occur in this country. Most of those that died of starvation were seniors living on a fixed income the rest were children that either came from a low income household or victims of neglect and anorexics. Watch the current low income people become very slim and many of them will die because food will be out of price-it’s either pay your utilities or eat. Many will pick paying their utilities. I know became I’m in that situation. I lost 10 lbs since the election. All I have in my fridge is two onions, three carrots one egg and a serving of milk. In my freezer I have three breadsticks and two packs of meat. In my pantry I have 15 canned foods that came from a food pantry. So I am dirt poor-no food stamps and I am disabled. Other low income people will end up like me, skipping 2 or more days of eating. I’m lethargic and forgetful. My grocery bill will be smaller than this months. I’m training my body for survival because in the words of Donald Trump: “The Storm Is Coming “.
And to all you fatphobes, you will finally get your wish because the obesity rates will go down. I’m 10 lbs close to a normal weight after 13 years…yes, I used to be obese Category 1 for reference. I became ultra food insecure March 2023. Hopefully, I don’t end up underweight. If I get below BMI 16 that’s is when I will panic. I pray to God that I don’t ever develop refeeding syndrome or osteoporosis. I live off of vitamins, but I take them with tiny portions of food. So the vitamins help because I don’t want to be hospitalized for malnutrition. I’ve been in ketosis for two weeks. I have to prepare myself for the storm. More poor people in the U.S need to do portion control and eat less. If you don’t ration and gobble up your last two meals for the week then you might not survive this. Use the food pantry before some of them close in a few years, but you will wait long hours and if you don’t have a car ask a friend for a ride if you can. But leaner times are coming.
