These "hungry" American stories are popping up more regularly since Bush got elected. There was a story in my local paper a while back about some poor people in the area forced to visit food pantries because they lost their jobs. So they interviewed one "hungry" person who was now making the trips to the local food pantry. She was so fat she could hardly fit in the photograph they had of her visiting the pantry.

Incidentally my fiancee did a tour by car of many states last Summer from Wisconsin to Arizona and back. If there are millions of unseen starving people out there, it must because they can't be seen through the hordes of overweight Americans we saw.

One reason why poor people are so overweight is that Dollar Store food is so full of calories. You ever eat Dollar Store food? One bite and you feel like you've gained a couple of pounds.
