Been there; done that.

"How many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they replied. Mark 8:5 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. About four thousand were present. Mark 8: 8-9


Of course, the crowd was fickle; they had seen this trick before and most of their tweets panned Jesus' act at old and needing a bigger finish.

Jesus is Top Chef

"How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five—and two fish." ...  They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand. Mark 6: 38, 42-44


This Bible story is particularly perplexing to starving people throughout the world. Alas, God must have his reasons for their perpetual hunger. (Note: with so much wasted food, Bible scholars suspect the crowd around Jesus that day to be obese American tourists.)
