What stories have you heard about the past depression? Do you think that

I know for a fact that the Bible says in Matthew the 24 chapter that we will experience famine. I do not have any stories of the last depression at all.

My grandma and mom told me lots of stories, and the poor having been doing this for years. Lots of pancakes, rice, macaroni and potatoes, and because of this they get bye.

My grandfather told me the partial story of his childhood only once as he still is sadden by it today. During the depression, he lived in Illinois, my grandfather was one of the elder children out of about six. He would be constantly sent back and forth to an orphanage because the family could not support all the children. I'm not sure if he was the only one that had to be sent from his family, but the way he was talking about it it seemed he was. It was hard on hime to be away from his family days, weeks or months at a time just because your family couldn't help you. I'm not even sure if the orphange was nice or not, but here is one story. As for it happening again, I'm not sure. I believe it might because I was reading somewhere that a depression has happened over thirty or so years for awhile and that we are past due, so maybe this is the time. Scary! I wouldn't even know how to prepare for it.

I think people will eat bigger portions of starches to fill themselves up and also grow more fruit and veggies.

I didn't live during the great depression, but right now I make mainly rice, beans and veggies at least 3 times a week.. and sometimes I make pancakes too... so you just do what you have to do. I made burgers tonight.. but I only do meat twice a week.
