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". http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...111501621.html -- Ken Fortenberry

"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." - Ken

The problem is education and ghettos. The problem is one that we created, nurtured and ignored..... john....
