#Südafrika: #Hunger im Land des Überflusses

Der Hunger in Südafrika ist nicht episodisch, sondern chronisch, da viele Haushalte ihre Grundbedürfnisse nicht einmal mit Zugang zu externer Hilfe decken können. Fast 70% der befragten Haushalte leiden unter moderater bis schwerer Ernährungsunsicherheit. In jedem vierten Haushalt gibt es Tage ohne Essen.

Sometimes I think about the things other people have that I don't, and never will. Then I look up and see people begging everywhere, every traffic light and intersection. People carrying everything they own. Young and old stuck in a spiral that leads nowhere. And I can see how thin the thread is between me and them.

"Everything we pick up is delivered right away. We don't store anything, so no warehouse is needed. . . . This model can be duplicated anywhere there's a grocery store and a willing community."

Last week's highlights: lots of plant-based roasts (turkey analogues), mostly Gardein and Field Roast brands, also cases of some kind of stuffed butternut squash roast. Many organic & conventional avocados (a friend says, "Yeah, the Mexico tariffs mean avocados got really expensive so people aren't buying them").

A year has passed since #Musk🚨began the wood-chipper-ing of
#USAID.

Since then,💔global humanitarian funding has collapsed by almost 1/3, mostly due to the Trump/Elon cuts.

Vast #suffering has ensued.

This will go down as one of the🚨deadliest US policies ever.

& it's hard not to see a through-line from🚨this #lawlessness & casual disregard for human life to the chaos in US sts & Trump's fgn policy today.

Yes, here's the future:
