British families are becoming so strapped for cash and desperate for food, some have begun to eat pet food instead and heated up by candle light.
Mark Seed, the owner for a food bank in Cardiff, Wales, confirmed this with the BBC, who says people are working “every hour they can” but still can’t makes ends meet.
Seed is the head of the Trowbridge Pantry that is apart of a much larger network of food banks and charity groups, that supplies food to over 80 neighborhoods in the U.K. at discounted prices. The Trowbridge location supplies food for over 160 people. Having worked and volunteering at the pantry for over two decades, Seed says he’s “shocked” by what he’s witnessing.
We have people who are eating pet food. [There are] people who are trying to heat their food on a radiator or a candle.
These are shocking kind of stories that are actually the truth.
Cardiff is a flourishing city however there are pockets of deprivation which are simply not acceptable.
People who are in those positions of poverty would be the first to tell you that it’s not easy to have a voice, it’s not easy to have your dignity and show yourself as someone who counts and unless you do that no-one is going to listen.
Buildings go up, the economy flourishes and firms move here – but there’s a gap and we’re trying to close it.
The WinePress reported in October that many pubs have been keeping their lights off to cutback on their asinine energy expenditures, creating some sort of a new vibe at these venues.
One of Seed’s customers said:
I usually go without to try to make things better in my house. Even with my son working – and he contributes as well – it’s difficult because he has to live as well and he’s got needs.
Elizabeth Williams, 54, said
Wales Online wrote, ‘Mr. Seed describes an “arc of poverty” from the east to the west of Cardiff where residents still really struggle financially despite the rest of the city’s success. He said his customers were “working every hour they can” just to afford the essentials, but the rising cost of living makes this difficult.’
Hayat Mohamed, who moved from Sudan is now volunteering at this pantry. She moved to Trowbridge in September but said what she found was “shocking”.
The economic change, what is happening, what is going on in the whole world… the world is changing now. All people are suffering.
The BBC Census claims that Trowbridge and Rumney has the worst household deprivation in Cardiff. But Cardiff itself does not even rank in the top 10 for deprivation by county.
Many other European countries are suffering in their own ways, such as Poland, where an increasing number of households are burning trash for warmth; Switzerland considering banning the use of electric vehicles in most instances, and forced mitigation of other appliances, as a means of reducing energy consumption; or France threatening to manually turn off the power to some areas for several hours; to the Germany Foreign Minister not caring about her own people at all and says she will service Ukraine first.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Today it’s pet food: soon it’ll be each other. I have stated different times before this is a coming event that you must prepare yourself to witness (and guard against yourself too), because it WILL happen…
[53] And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: [54] So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: [55] So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. [56] The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, [57] And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. Deuteronomy 28:53-57
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

this is just the beginning of things to come.
I’d rather eat grass and flowers in that case if I really couldn’t bear the emptiness of my stomach.Pet food is absolutely disgusting.
Flowers and grass are nice. I like raw broccoli that’s a flower and it tastes grassy too, which I don’t mind.
Psalm 9:17
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Deuteronomy 28:53-57 sounds like cannibalism happening during war torn times, and families and loved ones turn against each other and commit cannibalism to survive while their enemies are gloating at their fate.
Coming to America for sure when the food shortages become famine and say, a hungry couple kill their children and turn them into lunch just to survive and their love has become as cold as ice. Russia, China, the jesuits, and Klaus Schwab are succeeding and living like kings.
I would prefer pet food over bugs
I get where you’re coming from, but how about neither.
Not the first time Rome has targeted Wales for especial treatment, payback, with her vindictiveness towards the remnant of godly, biblical people there going back to apostolic times & resisting her empire takeover w/ the quasi-pagan, mass ritually baptized Saxons with that other Augustine, of Canterbury. They slaughtered all those at the Bible scripture training, translation & missionary/preacher center at Bangor, with their families back around 600. As they were gathered in prayer in the meeting house. Their sin was not receiving the apostate & illegitimate authority of Rome with her craft ritual.
–
There were draconian fines imposed upon the people, still on the books & law records, up into the mid-700’s for defying Rome & practicing believers baptism….re-baptizers, they called them, anabaptists. Many times they would submit to the infant baptism to preserve life, but they still knew the truth of the scriptures & little groups clung to it, meeting in highways & byways, the fields & forest glens where they would hear the professions of faith & baptize those evidencing faith, even aware of the price, counting the cost as the word calls it. But, of course, there were infiltrators & informers etc.
–
Rome hates the latter Welsh Revival, too….and demonizes it, trying to de-legitimize all of it by pointing out the strange parts involving her mystical infiltrators & the devilish things on the periphery which is common. Read the Gospels, as well as the histories of great revivals involving the salvation of many souls with the mark of repentance & missionary preachers going out with the word. That’s what all the Keswick garbage was about….Craft infiltration of the movement of God to confound & confuse; as well as the demonization of Darby & such as the ‘inventers’ of the rapture, the rapture supposedly invented in the 1830’s and so forth. Then they ‘inform’ young Christians of their alternative & incomplete ‘history’, & work to lure back the children of the ‘separated brethren’.
–
Classical Rome & Jesuitical sophistry & Craft.
–
I’m not surprised that the ‘little people’ of Wales are especially targeted & suffering. Rome has a long memory & is ever vindictive, subtle & terroristic. God’s faithful are always targeted & made to be amongst the ‘collateral damage’. In the Middle Eastern & North African recent bloody works of craft & manipulation, as well. Like Dresden who tolerated Reformers.
–
Piling up the wrath of God. Be careful which perversions & revisions of truth you receive, else you may be storing up the displeasure of the Lord with pride & vanities for the bonfire, even as the redeemed, or found to be spiritual bastards.
kddlporter. Thanks for the info. The world would be mostly Christian if these and other groups weren’t genocided. We need to honor their memory by walking with the Lord, as they did,
please tell us more about that Dresden-thing. They were targeted for being liberal to religious minorities? From Deutschland.
Cardiff is the capital city of Wales part of Great Britain – the 6th wealthiest nation on Earth. It bad management not a lack of resources. Pet food is expensive in the UK – https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/shop/pets/cat-food-and-accessories/wet-cat-food/cat-food-pouches
Why are they eating pet food? Pet food is not cheaper than human food, did you know that? So are you sure, what you are writing is the truth? I live in germany and some days ago there was an article on your page stating that we are experiencing food shortages here which is not true and never was. What is going on with you? Are you crazy?
Ah I see, your source of truth is the BBC…
