We love our chickens and I don’t need to have 36 hens and 6 chicks hatching out in my incubator this evening. But, the last two weeks we have taken fresh, cage free eggs to a food pantry and they were delighted to get them. They said people are always asking if they have eggs to give out. So, the two dozen eggs I get a day will be heading to this food pantry every Thursday when they pass out food from this church. I am blessed to be able to share our abundance.

Today Save A lot was selling chicken drumsticks in five lb bags for five ninety nine and I bought two. Boned them out and canned the meat and cut the bone in two so that the marrow can be accessed and made chicken broth in the Instant Pot. I plan on doing this again later in the week. I have a small budget to buy food to donate weekly, I am limited due to being retired and living on a fixed budget. I buy protein foods as that is what they get the least of, the food bank director has asked me to buy eggs as they just don't get them. So every week I go to Walmart and buy bulk eggs. I do this because I starved as a child and know what it is like to be a child and hungry. Maybe adults get the eggs but I keep the image of a child in my mind.

GARDENS & CHICKENS Both should be allowed...even incentivized. A little experiment in a European city gave out chickens to those who wanted them. Within the first year their landfill reported a massive reduction in waste tonnage, to the tune of millions of pounds...all thanks to chickens eating scraps. Reports of food bank usage also dropped, as people with abundance shared their harvest with those less fortunate. It IS a win, win scenario.

Here in the US, food banks let anyone/everyone take food. The problem is that so many of these folks don't financially need to come to a food bank- and they're proud of what they're able to get for free. I'm very serious, there are no qualifications or registration for the food banks. I'm always concerned when I hear of the shortages because so many people take what others truly need.

ANECDOTAL POVERTY ISSUE My brother has had six surgeries in the past two years. So, as you can imagine, recovery time has left him unemployed. To top all of this off they have had two car accidents, having to borrow one of our cars. After emptying our freezer to help feed his three girls, he has had to repeatedly use the food bank to supplement their food supply. If it wasn't for bad luck, he'd have none at all. Now I am of permanent disability, after suffering an accident that left me temporarily paralyzed. My disability benefits are just over $1000.00 a month. So, my wife has to work two jobs in order for us to live. As it stands, all of my money goes to food and fuel, leaving nothing left, right after receiving my disability deposit. The only way I can help my children, who are all adults now, is to make them some dinners. It is not much, but I do what I can. If Trudeau is elected for another four year term, I will be making regular trips to the food bank.

I found myself for the first time in the lines for the food bank in 2020. It was a godsend at the time. We regularly got cheese, eggs, butter, frozen meat, a few cans of fruit or vegetables and lots of fresh vegetables. When the "leadership" changed, we would get 2 gallons of milk, 15lbs of potatoes, 5lb bags of carrots, 3lbs of frozen chicken parts, 5lb boxes of breaded chicken nuggets, cases of macaroni and cheese. Not really a lot of variety to make meals with. I canned the excess produce and I am so glad I did. Now that I am in a better spot I donate money to the food bank. They can negotiate prices with grocery stores to purchase what they need.

I started going through my pantry every so often and if I have items that I know I can't use up before they go past the due date I put them in a bag for the food bank. I also keep an eye out on sales for pasta and canned goods to add to the bag and they every couple of month drop off the items to the food bank. Sometimes I have as many as 4-5 bags to deliver. Doing it in little bits isn't as costly and adds up. Like you say, if everybody does a little bit it makes a difference.

15 years ago, our town, had a food bank run by a church. It was mostly the work of us old geezers. We were still working but did this evenings and weekends. The middle aged people just told us what we should be doing. One day a bunch of young(20s) recipients were there while we were unloading a truck. I asked the young men to help but they refused. It was more important for them to smoke and joke. We old timers finished that day and quit. The middle aged then criticized us but wouldn't do anything themselves. The town no longer has a food bank. They have to go to a nearby city. In the US, all of our foods have gone up since January. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts would go on sale for $2 a pound up until February. Now the best is $3 per pound. Our VP just said in a speach that we have to reduce the population. All of the chickens in our neighborhood have disappeared. We're not sure if it was coyotes or fischer cats. Good Luck, Rick

I know you are in Ontario, olive oil in Costco is better but not like it used to me. I fry mainly with lard, bacon fat, beef fat that I rendered myself from my beef order. I tell the butcher I want organ fats and fat trimmings, I render each separately because I make soap with it as well. Salad time I will use olive oil for sure, I have 10 bottles in freezer. I simply remove about 1/4 cup and freeze it the shelf life is unlimited then!! The government wants you hungry and dependent on them that is why they inquiring and asking people do they have a garden? That is what the army did with their so called wellness checks in Ontario recently, I will not open my door to them. This isn’t normal when the army knocks on your door this is one step closer to their end goal, you will own nothing and be happy and yes you will eat crickets, not this family never!! 🥰
