About a month ago, the local TV station ran a variation on this story. They showed the food bank set up at SIU (Souther Illinois University). And they showed three female students “shopping”. None of the three looked like they’d missed too many meals, if you get what I mean. You’d think the station could have found some skinny kids rather than air such an ironic story.
You’ll notice that most of the ‘poor and hungry’ around here look like that :)
