OT Bush Administration Eliminates Hunger in the US
 

Some 35 million Americans, about 12%, could not afford to put
food on their tables at some point during 2005 according to
the USDA. But not to worry, in an effort to eliminate hunger
in the US these Americans will no longer be considered hungry
but will now be classified as having "very low food security".

Gotta question the way they measured the 12%...

"Obesity is laden with inequity as it disproportionately affects the
poor, the less educated, and people of color. The same statistics show
that income also has a profound effect. People close to the poverty
line are 50 percent more likely to be obese than those with higher
incomes."

I think someone needs to stand up and say that it is not the poverty. The
problem is education and ghettos. The problem is one that we created,
nurtured and ignored.....
