What would you do if a food shortage occurred in the U.S., but you had stored enough to live. Someone arrives!

Question

So a food shortage happens in the U.S. like is happening in Kenya,Somolia,Ethipoia..etc..

You have been prepared for this and have put food up. Also you have a garden and a fresh supply of all you need. You have spent time to learn about the techniques of preserving food.

Now, someone shows up..starving...what to do? I would give them food...

Next a family shows up...Starving...I would give them food..

At this time, my supplies are getting lower and I have little left to feed my family until the next season of crops.

NOW, the parents of starving children are wanting my last remaining crops to feed them! What am I to do?

They are coming in at all times of the night to take from my garden. Thus, I have nothing left to feed my family.

There is very little help from the district, because of hoarding, so I must rely on myself to feed my family.

What can I do!!!

What would you do?

Do not picture me sitting in a nice house, pondering world events.

We are hungry and want to know

Answer 1

I would do as you would do - feed the people.  Then I would teach them how to work the crops and help out where help is needed.  We would all pull together and support each other.  I would take the lead - there has to be one that coordinates and keeps everybody in line.  Each one, that is able, would be expected to pull their load.  If you could grow enough crops for your family, so could they. Give them the tools and the help.  God helps those who help themselves.

Answer 2

I think you have asked this "question" way too many times. If you were truly in the situation you say...you should stop paying to go on-line and use the money for food.

Answer 3

If anyone shows up at my house starving, they will be feed.  I'm not about to let anyone starve in my presence.  During the shortage, I will make it clear that if they want to continue to be feed they must help in creating and growing my garden so that we don't all continue to starve.

Answer 4

Since this is a hypothetical proposition....I suggest you read a  book called "Lucifer's Hammer". It deals with exactly this and more. You might be surprised at what and how people might truly behave. You will have even more questions like this when you are through. The book is fiction...but it could happen.
