I am so lost as to your message here, I’m sorry. Best guess response:
I’m well aware of the rising cost of food, and that people increasingly can’t afford it. But desperate people do desperate things, and food insecurity is about as desperate as humans can get. People find the money, usually by reprioritizing other critical needs. This is, of course, fucking insane that they have to do that.
