Antich - Poverty, insecurity ... When the poor awaken (2/9) (fr,
it, pt) [machine translation]

The second in a series of nine "productions" Group Puig Antich Perpignan (December 2014) 
---- If we resume sine die the vocabulary of "economists", we would repeat uncritically 
that "the food needs of the French, are [today] saturated". Infamous lie that this 
assertion. ---- Recall that in 1997, the authors of "healthy nutrition barometer" (Baudier 
et al., 1997) emphasized the importance of the budget among the determining factors in 
the composition of the meal. Others have, as part of a senior supply survey conducted in 
1998 highlighted the fact that in the age of 50/60 years, some groups do not have the 
feeling of eating, otherwise their fill, at least as much as they want (Poulain, 1998). 
---- A recent study shows that in Ile de France, many people are forced to use "food 
aid". An unemployed engineer testifies to the microphone Europe 1: "We do not know how to 
fill his fridge at the end of the week, or that meet the child who says: 'There is 
nothing to eat.' "

Today, that food aid should be "[that] a limited social response" to emergencies within 
an "affluent society", this aid therefore actually represents "the way "for many 
households to meet their daily food needs. Faces of food poverty have become many and 
cover different realities.

Institutions such as the "heart of Eating", "Secours populaire" etc. serve hundreds of 
thousands of meals ... It is the same in the Pyr?n?es-Orientales where tens of tons of 
food are collected by "food bank" of the department. In 2014, it is the equivalent of 
190,000 meals that will be distributed through thirty associations.

Thus, the population is "generous", it seems indisputable but that generosity should not 
and can not hide the scale of the problem. The multi-speed society in which we live is a 
totally inhuman society. A sad reality that this affluent society, where the month of 
December is synonymous for some joyous revelry-es, and others, many others, to resort to 
begging, loss of autonomy, the loss of human dignity.

Food insecurity is invited everywhere, in homes younger as older ones like those of the 
unemployed workers. In December, New Year celebrations for many, eating is not a " gift 
"! Furthermore, when we eat bread "balanced", eat 5 fruits and vegetables, in everyday 
life, it is a great anything! Indeed, can you eat balanced and diversified when it has a 
very limited budget?

In 2013/2014, heart Eating distributed 130 million meals to 1 million people and among 
them, 40,000 babies under 18 months.

That is the sad fact of a precarious society of great poverty, society or the selfishness 
of the rich and wealthy is erected under! A society in which those who have "a little" do 
care more about those who have nothing at all!
