many of whom struggle with obesity and diabetes as much as hunger

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if they are struggling with obesity, hunger is NOT one of their problems.

When I was a kid, my family was on food stamps, and we had no food bank. By the end of the month, we were always down to flour and peanut butter. I have to wonder why there is a need for food banks when people have food stamps.

Don’t forget schools today serve ages 0-21 breakfast and lunch in the summer and they’ll bring it to your neighborhood so you won’t have to go all the way to school for it.

Ummm, you have that in REVERSE.

Were we still a Land of the Free, there would ONLY *BE* food banks.
