“For example, five years ago, a Hunger Network food pantry in Bedford Heights, a struggling suburb of Cleveland, served 50 families a month. Now more than 700 families depend on it for food.”

It’s striking increase of people dependent on a hand out. My question is how many of those families garden or least have cut their calorie intake? Or have really cut back on anything, I bet they still have cable, a car, internet, ebox ECT….
