It’s because they can’t afford “healthy” food. But my dirty little secret is that I get delicious course rolled oats for 49 cents a pound and gets me several weeks of healthy breakfasts.

Of course, if I loot my neighborhood I might discover it’s a bit difficult to find, though there is always McDonalds.

“funny, since nearly every poor person I know is obese “

Yes, especially here in WI. I think the survey is a bit misleading, as any thinking person should be “concerned” about the food supply. I have a good paying job and work a lot of overtime, and we’re concerned. Concerned enough to start building a food supply in case something does happen that either we can’t get to a store, or the stores don’t have much food. We don’t actually go hungry, though.

People are Starving to death in Africa...

1st workld Famine in the USA is a maxed out SNAP card because whern it got refulled you bought nothing but tater chips and soda and it is the 28th of the month and you ran out of chips and you have to rough it for few days eathign cream of wheat because that is the only real food left because yopu couldn’t plan ahead...

Won’t stop you from buying more tater chips and soda whent he SNAP get’s refilled...

And you are food insecure because you arr too lazy to apply for another SNAP card inthe name of you pet goldfish...

Poor people (on food stamps) are fine. They get up to $200 a month for one person. It’s people who work and have to spend their own money on food after they pay their other bills that are having a tough time affording groceries. Especially with meat costing 2-3 times what it did a couple of years ago. I can’t believe the cost of food isn’t a huge issue. If there was a Republican president there would be stories of hungry families on every front page and news program.
