One In Five Hispanics In America Lack Sufficient Food

Once they're married they blow up like hot air balloons.
Sort of like Italians, but much worse.

That's what I gathered, although my expert witnesses may not be
the most reliable. To wit...
I probably listened to The Tom Leykis Show about 10-15 times while
I was in LA.
I think each time there was at least one Hispanic guy wailing about
how his wife had turned into the Graf Zepplin. Only gone lumpy.

Hate to be critical but only looking at the "Wisconsin" I take it you used freshwater fish for those tacos? If so "yuk" they should only be made with saltwater fish such as speckled trout ( I know a waste but let's be extravagant), redfish, pompano or kingfish.

Now to be serious, I see lots of Hispanics at the grocery store and they mostly buy pretty smartly. Lot's of tortillas (flour and corn), eggs (by the crate), cheap sausage and chicken parts, beans and rice. They seem not to buy any fruits or vegetables and I find that strange because I have been to Central America and everybody seems to be eating a pineapple, banana etc. I have not seen anyone hungry in the U.S in years unless they have a drug or other problem.

Not only are many fat they like to show their young cellulite to
everyone and their fat muffins. Yuck.

While I lived in LA there suddenly came a day when I asked myself
"Since when has the female butt-crack become a fashion statement?
And who said it was de rigeur?"

Some ladies need to understand: Less (exposed flesh) is More (attractive).

Especially if you've got a bit too much flesh overhang.

You're right, I forgot to mention healthy, I was thinking if but forgot to type it.

Ever see the welfare office? No one's starving in the USA, no one, our "poor" kids wear baby jordans.

I used to like all the fruit and most of the puddings. I bought them for years as snacks.

[hinckley buzzard]

Maybe they should go home and harvest some iguanas.

[Kimmers]

Well, I am an ongoing student in the EIB institute and married to a man that works in statistics and sound science.....

[ClaireSolt]

Great! A very welcome change.

[BossLady]

After years of bad choices, there are systemic and metabolic problems that will take more than a multi-vitamin to fix.

Educating these people is key to fending off the oncoming issues....

[Beagle8U]

"I never saw a fat person who wasn't hungry"

lol..excellent point.

Good Freeping!

Did you read my earlier post showing how I feed my family healthy, balanced and nutritious meals for about $2 a pop? THIS is where the problem lies, IMHO. People may have access to the basic foods they need...but they don't know what to do with them! I've fed a family of SIX (three adults, three growing boys) for about $150 a month for years on end. It can be done. No one ever went to sleep hungry in our house; and none of us are big old fatties, either.

In my next life, I'm going to be some sort of HomeEc teacher, educating the poor on what to do with a piece of meat, a vegetable, a handful of rice or a potato. We're so far removed from our food supply it's ridiculous! Heck, Grandma used to feed twelve of us on one cold, leftover potato and whatever roadkill she could find that day, LOL!

(Well, that's a slight exaggeration, but you get my drift.) :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Plenty of junk in that trunk, LOL! :)

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Sorry, no. I just got the last kid OUT the door...this is now officially 'Mama's Time.' :)

But feel free to use my recipes, LOL!

[pepsionice]

Every Latino that I've met in the past five years....is pushing 180 lbs (male). These fellows aren't starving. I'm very puzzled by this news item and wonder ifing they are referring to some Latinos in Canada or Alaska.

[Alouette]

Rich, white anorexics are the hungriest people in America.

[zerosix]

Of course, had they stayed in Mexico or environs further south, it would be 3 out of every 5, so jumping our borders at least feeds a couple more!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I used Walleye. They were yummy. I travel to Mexico quite often, so yes, I agree that saltwater fish make a better taco, but since I was "food insecure" I had to use what was at hand, LOL! ;)

[Vaduz]

And go to any home depot and look at the anount of food tossed on the ground by the day workers{tax free workers}.

[LadyNavyVet]

LOL! I'm starting with a bit of middle age spread that I'm exercising very hard to get rid of. Then I see young preteen and teen girls and the amount of bulging fat around their exposed middle is enough to make me sick!

When I was a teen, I'd have hid in my room if I looked like that. I guess perceptions among the youth are changing--so many are heavy that it doesn't look bad to them anymore. But it sure looks bad to me. Whatever happened to long t-shirts and sweatshirts to cover that mess up?

[samtheman]

Some of the females push 180 too. And surpass it. And wear belly-show-off blouses in the summer, evidently proud of their huge spare tires. (And not just Hispanic young women, lots of fat young women all over. Crammed into the tightest jeans that the laws of quantum mechanics will allow and displaying gargantuan expanses of sexy [they think] whale blubber.)
