"In a time of mass obesity, encouraging the poor to onsume more food makes no sense at all," said the researcher, University of Maryland Professor Douglas Besharov. . . . [red]Food stamps and other federal meal programs, he said, were launched at a time when hunger was a serious threat to the underprivileged. Today most of the poor have no problem getting enough to eat, according to Besharov.[/red] . . . In spite of the fact that millions of Americans have stopped receiving public assistance, the government spent $40 billion on food programs last year, more than ever before. . . . The overeating epidemic is growing fastest among poor kids: 16 percent of low-income children are either overweight or obese, twice the rate of other children. That puts federally-funded school breakfast and lunch programs – which are mandated to provide 60 percent of students’ total daily caloric intake – under the microscope.

Crunch, french fries, haagen dasz and hot dogs in their bloated, pudgy-cheek, corpulent, tub-o'lard, stinking pieholes for years on end and then complain that the Gov't ain't giving them or their five fatass, blubbery, bovine-brain, soon-to-be-in-prison fatspawn children enough to eat.
