Well for the elderly and the poor, who don’t take food stamps, I object. I don’t think the price of food is low, in fact, I have seen it rise dramatically in the last year. Meats, fruits and some veggies as much as 30%...well no one has got a 30% raise, and you can only cut the pie so many ways.
All of us are not your vision of America. We eat right, exercise and take care of our bodies....get real.
Those on Medicare and Insurance drug plans are now paying for the insurance to meet government requirements, and now having to pay for the prescriptions as well, since like Obamacare they charge more but don’t pay as agreed!
I picked up a prescription for someone bedridden this week and it was twice what it was last time...so why don’t you help some of those elderly people, then come back and tell me that you think people are overeating and getting fat because food is so inexpensive.
The amount of food is not always the problem, it’s that what they can afford that puts on weight. For many on food stamps it’s still buying the wrong foods, however a proper diet is very expensive now.
So for people like you who have all this money to throw around...well that isn’t how it is for those over 65, or disabled....and including those with part time jobs. I have been cooking some meals for my grand children’s friends, whose familes can’t afford to eat much and they work...so I know how it is out there.
Time to volunteer and find out how the rest of America lives and not just those on welfare and food stamps.
People who muss and fuss about "hard times" really have no idea what they are talking about - historically speaking.
