I believe the story of the thin children, but I say "BS" about "poverty" being the fault of this.
I've lived in India (average per capita income is $1000, although there are many that make less than a dollar a day, I have in-laws from Mexico, and grandparents that grew up in the great depression. I've seen that children can usually be fed unless under the most extreme of conditions.
Now we're to believe that in Food Stamp USA these kids are starving? I wonder if drug tests on these mothers might reveal how some of their income is being spent.

Forget the apple slices... kids need more fries not less in their happy meals!

Well, gee whiz, then why did Mickey D’s just unveil a Happy Meal with more fruit? Don’t tell Geraldine Obama about this, she says our kids are all too fat!

I’m confused. I thought all the kids were obese from eating too much “unhealthy” food.

If there is any veracity to this story, it indicates a real problem in America - not a lack of food, but an overabundence of stupidity in young mothers and an epidemic of broken families.

This has more to do with Parental Neglect than it does with the parents being poor.

Many families are unable to afford enough healthy food to feed their childrenHogwash. Food banks, food stamps, soup kitchens, blah, blah, blah. There's no reason for a child to go hungry in this country (except, perhaps, lazy parents).

Their parents are too busy playing online games to make their kids dinner.

An extremely good article from the other day.
Debunks the silly notion there are poor people in America.

Now we're to believe that in Food Stamp USA these kids are starving? You don't expect them to use the food stamps and ADC checks to feed their kids, do you?
That money is for booze and the lotto!
You are a RACIST if you don't believe that you owe them more of your paycheck.

They only way my kids would be under-fed is if I was first on the brink of death from starvation.

Yet, the number one "disease" facing America's chilluns is obesity.

My question would be “how much out these families budgets go to cigarettes and beer and drugs instead of food for their children?”
