America’s Real-Life ‘Hunger Games’

[BelgianMadCow]

6. I,m in a town council, and we just debated starting one

Because also here in belgium, though we have a better safety net and weren't hit like southern europe, there are many reports of children going to school with empty lunchboxes. But as usual, people are ashamed and everybody LOOKS like they're doing ok. What i find very enlightening is when i speak of our relative middle class poverty, no holidays, one pair of shoes, that kind of thing. Suddenly everybody has a story...

Thanks for doing what you do!
