I take it you don’t have a 1 year old who has trouble sleeping through the night.

Too funny! In fact, I do have an 11 month old who almost never sleeps through the night. Plus, my wife works nights. Yet I still find enough strength to go to the gym.

Wow, I could never get along on 4-5 hours of sleep.

You would find me sleeping on the treadmill.

All

In almost every city ranked, the word “poverty” was mentioned.

Well, we have the fattest poor people on the planet, bar none.

This could be fixed in a week or so if the congress had the balls to change the Farm Bill (this is where food stamps lives, and it is federal, not local, so an individual state cannot do anything about it, even if they wanted to.

They talk about exercise initiatives and walking, etc. Hell’s Bells, would any of you walk in Baltimore, Detroit, or SE Los Angeles?

I own a grocery store in Virginia. The “Food Stamp Queens” are the fattest customers I have. And believe me, they are militant, multi-generational, entitled, and proud of it. Any real “cash” money they have goes to cigarettes, alcohol, and lottery tickets.

It is nothing for them to lay down on the belt arms full of chips, dip, sodas, ice cream, candy, cookies, popcorn, etc. Very seldom do I see any “real” food cross the scanner. The children they have with them are just as fat as they are.

I don’t buy for a minute the nonsense about “access” to healty foods. Within 5 miles, we have a Wal-Mart Supercenter, a Food Lion, and a large SuperValu. All the food in the world is available in these stores.

All the government has to do is remove the above-mentioned items from the allowability list. The problem would start to go away in very short order. But unless the party that proposes it has a veto proof, cloture proof majority, it ain’t gonna happen!

Flame away if you feel the need, but this is the reality where I live.
