I am confident that is NOT why the CVS was looted and burned. The CVS was looted because criminally minded individuals wanted what was in there. And then some maladjusted individual set it on fire.
On the other hand, I have seen with my own eyes mothers feeding their kids Pop-Tats and Sunny Delight for breakfast and a bag of pork rinds and cheap soda for lunch.
Why? Because that is what the stores in their neighborhood sell for food. (At grossly inflated prices I might add).
Would the mothers give their kids a nectarine instead if they could? That I don’t know.
I’m not surprised that Mr. New York reporter was “heartbroken” though — he’s probably never gone a day in his life without healthy food.
Pork rings are a pretty good lunch though.... :-)
