Give me a BREAK!
Where else in the world do people have staggering obesity rates while also "struggling with hunger"? I don't mock the obese OR the poor, but it is to weep, the way these statistics are so twisted and fake.
No one in this country "goes hungry" without TRYING. There are numerous, overlapping tax-funded programs, available to anyone who has financial problems. I'm just so SICK of it. Every time I hear one of these stories, I am hardened further against contributing to any sort of food charity. "TELL IT TO THE ONE YA VOTED FOR!"
You are so right. This might be the only country in the world where the poorest people are the fattest. Nobody is starving in this country unless some poor kid's parent are deliberately withholding food from them.
