And there is a charity briefing there for those who help homeless people, and the instructor tells participants about food options - there is meat option, vegeterian option etc.

The question is this - if you are homeless and hungry, how the heck can you reasonably expect to get veggi option? I mean if you are hungry and homeless then you should be grateful to get ANY food, if I was in this position I would certainly think this way.

Why do they need to go to shelters to get food? Why can't they just cook a squirrel over a bonfire? Like Ray Mears would. Except if they're vegitarians of course.

Meat eaters get to have squirrel; veggies get to eat their nuts.

Ray Mears usually turns up with a truck load of camping equipment and food bought from the supermarket. I heard tale of him teaching the army survival techniques and being miffed when they stole gear from his truck. It was 'explained' to him that was the way to survive in survival situations.

Maybe Sharia law stipulating that thiefs get their hands cut off is not such a bad idea after all.

If you are in a survival situation, stealing is survival.

You really are a ****. What has homeless got to do with being a thief.

"I heard tale of him teaching the army survival techniques and being miffed when they stole gear from his truck."

You have to be an utter dirt to steal from people who are trying to help you.

I can understand stealing to survive, but steal when people try to help you? They, allegedly, stole his gear, did they need it for survival? Most likely not - they'd sell it to get booze or drugs.

Yeah, those guys took survival seriously, though there may have been some joviality involved, I don't know the whole story. Perhaps Mears learnt a lesson too, i.e. that survival situations aren't like on the telly.

Perhaps homeless people should be drafted into the army: they will get food, shelter and, if they are good, they will live long to enjoy it.
