devilishlysweet:ysera: vlkingdeathmarch: acacophony: littleojibwe: tanninginparadise: See this picture? This comes from a town in Canada where a 24 pack of water bottles is 104 dollars and formula milk for a baby is priced at 55 dollars a pack. What’s more, a pack of diapers is 95 dollars and one head of lettuce is 26 dollars. Inuit people are starving in a country known for it’s generosity. If you don’t believe this is true, you can find more images like this here. This is the only grocery store these people have in their small towns, and many people are going hungry & elderly are dying faster. You’ll send aid to foreign children that are starving, so why won’t you pay a little extra to feed the people in your own country who work hard & still can’t afford the prices for healthy food for their families? Please have a heart and reblog this photo to raise awareness that even in our own countries people are starving, join the movement and show the government that we won’t sit by and watch people starve. If you think this will make your blog ugly you’re wrong. Children in a first world country are getting sick & starving, and nobody is even aware it’s happening. You can let people know by reblogging and showing you care. People I am close to, my friends and future in-laws are going through this. Love how little attention this post gets from my beach blog followers. Ok I didn’t think this could possibly be for real, but I found a news source on the matter. This is insane. As someone who lives in Canada, I can confirm this as being true :/ things are crazy expensive up North and our government (note Harper) is horrible at helping out with things and has actually faked getting involved before. governments hate indigenous people, this is absolutely about anti-native racism. don’t forget that. One of the biggest parts of this is that shipping freight is costly to get to Northern communities (Some places get 2 shipments a year for non-food supplies), the second is that in Canada there is a HUGE protest against allowing Inuit people to feed themselves in traditional ways (ie seal/whale hunting). I dont think people realize that the native people’s hunting is a literal drop in the bucket as far as the animal populations go, but make a huge difference within their communities where food is scarce and expensive.Canadians aren’t ignorant to the anti-native sentiments in the government, and people have taken it upon themselves to send groceries to families in Northern cities. If anyone here is interested in getting involved, Helping Our Northern Neighbors has been operating since 2014 to ship donated goods. this is also a problem in the US. in Alaska, the government is bitching that the native Alaskans are having all these health issues “due to drinking soda instead of milk”.1. when a 2 liter of soda is $1 and a gallon of milk costs $10 or more depending how remote you are. when you have limited money, you’re going to go for the soda.2. native Americans are lactose intolerant. so all the milk, cheese, and yogurt they would get in commodities boxes will only make them sick.3. someone followed a group of native Americans who were suffering health issues from their diet. when they went back to a traditional diet, most of their issues resolved within a year. lower blood pressure, better quality of sleep, more energy, etc. no follow up studies or testing this due to the government not wanting to fund the studies.4. the food required to feed those tribes that hunt marine mammals would be a tiny fraction of the total hunting that goes on. more damage is caused by Japan and Norway.we need to stand up for them. they are our neighbors and they need our help!!! -- source link
