Feds Cut Food Pantry Funding!

The Federal Food Cut Just Happened—Now What?

The Funding Is Gone—Now It's Time to Move

The federal government has been subsidizing farmers to grow food for food pantries. That money just got cut. Many small disadvantaged farms were surviving off those funds, and millions of people—retirees, young mothers, widows like me—depended on those food pantries to eat.?

But let’s be real. This was never sustainable. I’m not sure if it was ever meant to be.?

The government has never been responsible for feeding us. Dead soil, lab grown meat, Mrna fruits, foods filled with toxic chemicals including plastics was never going to work well for us.? ? We have to be responsible for our own food systems. What we’re seeing now is what happens when you rely on a system designed to fail.

The question isn’t what do we do now?—we already know what to do.

We rebuild real food systems. Right now.

Solutions That Should Have Never Stopped

? Farm-to-Consumer Networks

• Instead of going through a middleman, farmers and buyers need direct access to each other. Bulk buying clubs, cooperative grocery models, and neighborhood food subscriptions are the answer.

? Cooperative Farming and Land Use

• We need to connect independent farmers, share resources, and stop working in silos. If you’re a farmer, let’s link up.

? Food Processing & Storage for Stability

• Dehydrating, fermenting, freezing, and preserving food creates long-term security. Let’s build small processing hubs that keep food available year-round.

? Mutual Aid & Community-Owned Grocery Models

• Food sovereignty doesn’t mean waiting on a handout. It means organizing co-op grocery stores, pop-up markets, and local food hubs to get people fed without federal strings attached.

This Is Not Just an Illinois Problem—This Is Global

Farmers and consumers in Illinois, California, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Colombia, and everywhere in between need to be in contact, in coordination, and in play right now. We need a Food Sovereignty Summit to pull these strategies together on a global level.

Because make no mistake: big tech, big ag, big pharma, etc wants to control the food system.

Lab-grown meat, industrialized “plant-based” garbage, insects, and crops tainted with nanoparticles and mRNA tech are not the answer. Real food, grown in real soil, by real people who care? That’s the answer.

Call to Action: If You’re Serious, Let’s Move
