Montclair State University's food pantry is tucked away down a maze of hallways in the student center. Like the hunger problem on campus itself, the pantry is not quite out in the open. It opened on the New Jersey college's campus in April, after administrators started hearing from students who said they were hungry and didn't have enough money for food. They surveyed students, finding that more than half said they or someone they know experiences "food insecurity" -- the lack of access to affordable, nutritious food. On one Thursday in December, 33 students visited the food pantry, taking what they need to help make ends meet. They left with bread, cereal, milk, spaghetti, canned vegetables, as well as personal items like shampoo and soap.

Beer is food. :)
You’ll notice that most of the ‘poor and hungry’ around here look like that :)
Every single time I hear about something that didn't happen before Obama took office but magically appears to happen right after him, I'll yell -- "OBAMA'S FAULT"
If they are not living on campus then they should be able to cook.
I washed my hair with baking soda while I was in college because I could not afford shampoo and was too proud to take handouts.
I went to a large university, and one could drink and eat a lot for just about free in those days. There was always some free party somewhere... companies like Montezuma Tequila or Budweiser would host parties with live music, food and all the booze you could drink... usually the price to attend and enjoy was $1.
Right. I bet they have food priorities. When I was going to school I would rather have spent my money on booze and pot. I’m pretty sure that not much has changed.
Potatoes are very nutritious.
Add on a glass of milk for protein and fat with some greens and you have a complete meal that will keep you going.
In fact that was pretty much what the Irish lived on.
And heated soup in a popcorn popper!
-—And not much if any beer-—
many times, especially on weekends, the refirigerator in our house ran out of room and there were arguments over what beer was whose.
To resolve the issue we bought an old Nehi drink machine that sold bottled drinks for $.06, a nickel and a penny. Being engineers we had no problem coinverting it to receive a quarter. It took a quarter in the enlarged penny slot. People who came mostly on Sundays thought the Budwieser was $.30 and put in a quarter and a nickel
We formed the company called Oasis Inc. It was the most profitable stock I have ever owned on a percentage basis. Just recently I was looking for stuff to take to our annual reunion and found the hand drawn Oasis Inc stock certificate. I noticed in very small print “non voting shares”. The guy that made the stock offering was the nearest thing to a business major that existed at the primarily engineering school
Everything that survives, adapts. The poor *snowflakes* will crawl into a fetal position and just die.
Trade the cell phone for a carton of Top Ramen,you clueless
idiots!

They will melt, unless they are literally tossed into survival mode-then the ones that can adapt-and work-will survive. As for those that don’t, maybe mom and dad will let them live at home till hell freezes over-otherwise they will probably end up in a bad way...
As a kid from a small family ranch in a remote area of SW Texas, the city was like a vision of insanity to me-but living in a place where nothing convenient was close, we were taught early on to recognize and utilize whatever resources were available wherever we were to survive-and even be reasonably comfortable through our own work and ingenuity-my cub thought my husband-a ranch kid from New Mexico-and I were cruel and abusive when we insisted she learn to be self sufficient by taking her on camping/hunting trips to remote areas, sending her to a survival camp in the New Mexico mountains for a whole summer when she was 14-and insisting she work and pay for as much of her higher education as possible-oh, the cruelty!
Now he tells me all the time how grateful she is for her upbringing...
I read an article in Texas Monthly several years ago about the Waggoner Ranch up in wilbarger County.
They quoted one of the cowboys on the ranch to the effect that he'd gone off to college in the city. But, after a while, he concluded that him and the city just weren't made for each other. So, he moved back to the ranch and cowboying.
The "city" he was referring to was...Vernon.
Today’s academia is parasitic and predatory.
Your story is the difference between being your children’s *friend* and teaching them the skills they need to make their own life.
Kudos. Ya done good.
I went to college in SA-lived in the burbs as far outside of it as affordable for years-when MrT5 retired from the military and took a job several counties away in a small city, I was delighted to move back into a remote area-I will never leave again-I’m just not cut out for living in a city...
