A crash course in changing the world.
Most people are not aware of it – but food security is also a subject in Germany. In Germany we have thousands of people which live at the breadline, although we are a wealthy industrial country. To the count of needy people not only homeless people belong, but also pensioners, widower, singles and lone parents. Meanwhile hunger is part of their life and their situation appears to have no prospect.
When you take a look at the railway missions, soup kitchens and the food pantries e.g. in the capital city Berlin, you can observe a lot of people, who comes there to get something to eat. Especially at the end of month the count of needy people rise. From 2009 to 2010 the ration of meals increased about 15% and the count of needy people increased by 1000 people (28%). One of them is a pensioner, who has only € 3 (about $ 4.30) per day to buy provisions. The boom is much high, so people already wait in the early morning to get something to eat.
Furthermore, there are people hunting trash bins for food. Particularly in big cities this behavior can be observed. Many needy people felt sheepish to go to charitable institutions and try to feed themselves in this way. Therefore it takes a long time unless they imbibe help.
Food pantries and other charitable institutions are not an innovative solution, but they exist for many years. They get the food from local stores. Goods, which cannot be sold next day, but are handled to meals to feed beggars.
We have to make oneself clear, that food security in Germany becomes more and more important. Even if most of us do not notice this fact!
