“Stop sending expired food”….”fried chicken 64.99”
IQALUIT, Nunavut — A head of cabbage for $20. Fifteen bucks for a small bag of apples.
A case of ginger ale: $82.
Fed up and frustrated by sky-high food prices and concerned over widespread hunger in their communities, thousands of Inuit have spent weeks posting pictures and price tags from their local grocery stores to a Facebook site called Feed My Family.
Holy hell.
This needs about 10k more notes.
sixty five fucking dollars for fried chicken? Shit’s gotta stop.
Also, a choice quote from the article: “And those being asked to bear those costs are among Canada’s poorest. ITK says half of Inuit adults earn less than $20,000 a year.”
Emphasis mine.
