LOL!!!
We're about 15, but that store is smaller and more expensive. It's our "emergency only" store.
I drive about 45 minutes to get to a larger, cheaper store (We don't get food stamps, so we have to budget. We're taxpayers.)
(Overweight Michelle tracks kids - not terrorists)
That is dumb.
“It’s all well and good when the commie/socialists want to scold us about gas prices (”Do you know what they pay in Europe? You should be grateful for $4 gas!”)”
Hell, I’ve gotten that argument right here on FR.
Hey, they post here too!
Obama looks like Benson, but acts like the governor.
“23 million people live in low-income urban or rural areas that are more than a mile from a supermarket.”
So, there should be a supermarket every mile? That should be interesting.
And in “urban” areas, there’s probably a good reason for a lack of cash-laden businesses.
Good point. Many of these food “deserts” in major cities are areas in which the youth gangs have laid waste. Chain supermarkets and other businesses avoid these areas because of the conditions there.
Maybe the next step in her campaign will be to shame major supermarket chains to open supermarkets in the ghetto. Could be. Even if the stores operate at a loss, socialist thinkers would say it’s good for society to compel them to operate their stores in these areas.
Do you have Michelle's BMI?
” ..23 million people live in low-income urban or rural areas that are more than a mile from a supermarket. “
Michelle and Company pathetically attempt to conflate rural and urban areas.
Rural areas don’t have as many markets because it’s a logistical and geographical situation.
Urban areas have trouble attracting big retailers and major supermarket chains because of high crime.
Just more redistribution of wealth.
On her way to the podium let her step on a scale that cameras are trained on and let the number be broadcast on a big screen behind her. Maybe then I will listen to her advice. Until then...
That’s crazy - she looks like Tinkerbell’s extra-large & p*ssed-off goth cousin.
Exactly, a lot of people live like you do 20 miles or more from a super market.. and can be snowed in for days, even if they could get to a market far away..
“Do you have Michelle’s BMI?”
No but it is likely higher than her IQ.
Exactly
I’ve been trying to figure out exactly why they need $50K to start a Farmer’s Market at that High School. Doesn’t it have a parking lot? Advertise for farmers to come and sell on this date at that time; put out some inexpensive flyers and get the local radio and TV stations to do public service announcements, get the local paper to run a story. There you have your farmer’s market!
