You'd never know it by looking at them us.
"The national rate is 70 percent"
So it's the other 30% that has caused us to have the worst problem with obesity of any place in the world?
Anybody else think this is pure BS aimed at appropriating more federal money?
AP's original source: America's Second Harvest
To be added or removed from the Arkansas ping list, FReep mail.
Arkansas?.....That just means they are low on Pork Rinds and Bud.........
When this number reaches 125% or so, I'll start becoming skeptical....
I have two teenagers.
Food gets put away and then it mysteriously disappears.
Almost immediately.
Even in the middle of the night.
The dog and cat food seem to be immune to disappearance so far.
But I bet that if I went more than six hours without replacing said "disappeared food", that they would start disappearing, too.
70% of Americans don't have "reliable access to food"?
Just how are they defining THAT?
I guess that means 81% are too damn fat to walk to the Mc'Ds.
The fact that the AP would repeat this crap is amazing.
You must not have boys. 8^)
There are so many food banks and food giveaway programs in this country that anyone who is going hungry is an idiot, or a young child of a idiot. Most people get so much food from these places that they wind up giving some of it away.
Anybody else think this is pure BS aimed at appropriating more federal money?
Over here over here
With waving hand held high.
Excuse me, has anyone seen the steak sauce? Who ate the chips and dip?
Is food insecurity equated to the cubic foot capacity of the fridge and how much space is unused?
Is running out of crackers for the cheese "food insecurity"
This study takes the cake!! OOPS! No cake today! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Another pet project for X42?
I don't understand the term "food insecure."
A bag of black beans cost 65 cents, a bag of rice, less than a dollar...for two bucks, the price of a McDonald's hamburger, you can make a meal for a family, and have a nutritious meal at that.
