‘It’s starting to feel like The Hunger Games’: Walmart looting claims take over TikTok during a real-life SNAP crisis

TikTok is currently blowing up with viral videos claiming mass looting and outright riots are already happening at Walmart stores across the country. It’s all being tied back to the terrifying real-life crisis where 42 million Americans could lose their SNAP food benefits in November.

These videos have spread like wildfire across social media. Still, you’re going to want to read this before you panic, because the claims of rioting remain totally unverified by any credible news sources. It’s an awful situation, and while the looting claims are likely overblown, the fact that millions of people are facing hunger right now is the real news you need to worry about.
