are there countries with free food?

[–] Qwel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

Some places have charities that manage to roughly feed everyone. Not good food, not weed, but you won't just die. I believe USA have pretty bad coverage on this front, but I might be wrong. I've heard something about feeding people for free being illegal somewhere? Like that can't be right

Also some countries have social funds that will keep you fed for a few years after loosing employment, so this kind of things can be done temporarily

At least in Germany you can be unemployed for life and get enough money from the government to barely buy food and other necessities, with rent, heating and electricity being paid by the government.

So although the food isn't free you can get it without ever having to work a single hour in your life

Yes. Plenty have charities that distribute food and clothing and provide housing for those without.
