“ 36 million adults and children struggled with hunger in 2007..â€
IMHO- Complete BS
No way that many people are struggling with hunger on a regular basis This country has more government benefits, more programs, more help from non profit organization that anybody needs to go hungry
My wife works at the largest grocery store chain in the world and sees on a daily basis people who get literally 1000 to 1800 a month in food benefits
I know hunger exists but it is mosty self induced by being a drug or achocol abuser or an ignorant social parisite
Very few people are not getting help if they need truly need it
The problem is that most of the hunger resulting from drug/alcohol abuse and other poor choices, is hungry children whose parents are the ones making the poor choices. If you're the child of such parents, your hunger is not "self-inflicted". We should stop providing any sort of welfare benefits to people who are abusing drugs and alcohol and take their children away from them -- it's not like hunger is the only serious problem facing children in these sorts of home situations.
