I agree that alot of these people probably need to be a little more prepared for situations like this. Also i believe they had a far amount of warning
before Sandy hit, now granted there wasn't alot of food left due to everybody rushing in and buying everything up. But i don't agree with saying
that they are not laughing now, and they wont think "us" crazy anymore. I thought that what made this country so great was that we came together in
times of need and help one another, cause we know the GOV is pretty slow in situations like this. Not everyone that is there and having to go through
this is a bad person that would go and rob and steal from their neighbors. These people are going through a hard time and they need all the support
they can get. Just my thoughts on it!
Much love

3 days might seem a bit soon, but if your not a survivalist and had nothing to eat for 3 days and no clue when the shops will be open again maybe getting what ever food you can in the meantime might seem like a good idea at the time.
some people are more than likely diabetic also or have some other form of disability that means without food they are more at risk I feel sorry for those people.

No, obviously they are not. Most people are not. When I talk to people about fasting, whenever the subject comes up, they look at me like Im nuts, and that its absolutely loony to go without food for more than 4 to 6 hours. Not that Im NOT nuts, but in this particular avenue of thought, Im not
You can go for a very, very long time without eating and NOT be starving. Starvation is when your body, after running out of glucose (2-3 days), and then running out 90+% of fat reserves (for the average fat ass american, probably at least 2 months), finally starts consuming non-essential flesh that can be broken down into immediately usable energy, for instance, muscle and bits of organs. THAT is starvation. What these societal dependents are feeling is the CONTRACTION of their GI tracts that are finally, after decades of abuse, finally getting a chance to REST.
Oh, they arnt guaranteed another meal for maybe at least a couple days... better start eating grass and pebbles to keep that stomach expanded to avoid the mild discomfort of a contracting GI tract. God forbid a person feels a touch hungry and cranky for a bit.
And FFS, if you are cold, wrap up in a blanket. Im sure the second story of their houses were not flooded; put on some extra clothing.

I can only guess as to why they wouldn't have food stocked. Maybe they dont cook and eat out on a daily basis. Maybe their apartments were so small that they save space by not stocking their pantries.
I really don't know.

The Red Cross has a DONATE button on my Yahoo. They collect billions of dollars during and after every disaster. So can any poster list the current Red Cross sites that are set up to hand out food, water and blankets? Must not be too well known where they RC is or people wouldn't be Dumpster Diving already.
Maybe after this they will be a little more self sufficient.
This is what happened in New Orleans after Katrina, all the governments babies were left "stranded' waiting on big daddy to come and save them.edit on 1-11-2012 by Thunderheart because: to add the katrina bit.
