GREECE

As Greece slides ever deeper into its debt crisis with no real hope of a solution on the horizon, many average citizens have been reduced to scavenging in dumpsters just to stay alive.

A recent article in The Telegraph details the plight of formerly employed Greek nationals who now must resort to scouring the streets to find scraps of cardboard, plastic bottles, metal or anything else that can be sold at recycling centers for a few meager euros per day.

Some of these unfortunate people are even forced to eat discarded food found in the trash bins of cities such as Athens, the article reports.
  Millions of average Americans may end up facing severe food shortages and find themselves in the same situation as the Greeks.
