And you?
Man, I just LOVE this time of year when everyone wants their hand in my pocket. *Rolleyes*
Oh jeez...that is why they all wear mumu's from Target
Eight In Ten Hispanics In Mexico Lack Sufficent Food
How can non-existent people starve? There's no aliens here....if someone breaks into your house, and you don't feed them, are you remorseful that they are hungry?
Oh please. I keep hearing about how one in every (x - fill in the group) lacks food. Knowing not only the largesse of the Federal and state governments but the generosity of local agencies, I'd say they're only lacking food if they're too drunk or stoned to get to the handout spot. And that ain't my fault.
Where and when did they do this study?
Could it have been just after they crossed the border?
Everyone on this board must have seen the typical, 15-year-old, overweight Mexican girls running around with their absurd "belly" shirts (with the gut hanging over) and thong underwear. What they lack is a decent, full-length mirror before leaving the house in the morning.

Guess what we had for supper? Fish tacos and rice and beans, LOL! The 'All American Cheap Meal' for Po' Folk like us. :)
Chopped fish (caught this past summer), chopped onion & seasonings fried up. Corn taco shells, shredded lettuce, tartar sauce and some shredded cheese. I shredded the lettuce and cheese BY HAND. All by myself. :) Oh, the horror! Rice. Water. Seasonings. A can of drained beans mixed in when the rice was done. I'm stuffed!
It cost me all of $2 to feed the two of us...with leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Yeesh!
Livin' at the Poverty Line and managing quite well, thank you!
"Poverty" in America is currently pegged at $9,800.00 per single person and $18K for a married couple with 2 kids.
We must authorize a Hispanic Food Stamp program, immediately !! ( sarc )
La Raza raked in over 15 million bucks in Federal grants last year. It'd be interesting to know how much of that they budgeted for 'feeding the poor'.

I think that this is determined by survey, with questions like
"At any time in the last year, did you ever worry that you were going to get enough food for a particular day?"
Then they ask kids in school at 11:30.
They fer sure do not get grocery reciepts or follow people around or in-home interviews.
It's a fake survey used to get us to accept higher government spending for special groups so that we'll all be equal like the Constitution mandates /s
Yo quiero Taco Bell.
American poverty is the envy of the third world.
Just when you think America had enough race-baiting, "activist," bigots, along comes The National Council of "The Race" and CAIR. Geeeesh. One of the disadvantages to being the greatest country on the planet is that you attract huge numbers of parasites from all over the world.
Why aren't there any skinny Mexicans. I don't believe I have ever seen one.
