Food Price Crisis Hits America's Poor

[Anglynn74]

I used to donate to food & clothing to the poor all the time. Now I can't even let go of a can of baked beans because it's one of the very few food in my home. Coupons don't help anymore-the "cents off" amounts have not changed yet food prices have risen. I have found myself at the local food pentry with my young son & it's humiliating, I dont want help I want to be the one who HELPS but I can't do that any longer. My husband & I both work but don't qualify for any type of welfare.

The Maryland CEO has been eating very well with her position and income. Maybe she help clean out some of the shelves at the warehouse.

USA has the richest "poor" people in the world. Our "poor" have nose rings, tattoos, cell phones, the latest hairstyles, jewelry, autos, etc. They deal drugs and prostitute on the side for extra cash.

@k3304 not to mention the crack pants, and money to get bail out of jail. And they vote for a living as they chant "yes we can".

WHY ARE ALL THESE POOR PEOPLE SO FAT?

Some will say it's because they have a poor diet. I see people on food stamps who's cart is loaded with porterhouse and T-bone steaks, baby back ribs, chips and dip, Ho-Ho's, soda, candy, ice cream, cool whip and pie, but no or little fruits and veges! Then they whip out a 50 to pay for all their booze and cigarettes. For the most part poor people on food stamps are fat by choice. I see plenty of fruits/veges in this supply house, folks just don't eat them.

@mkmason2002 I used to work at Aldis, and I saw EXACTLY the same thing.

[Anglynn74]

@mkmason2002 I saw the same thing at the Salvation Army I get my food at, their choices aren't the most healthy but when you have no food in your home & you're hungry you'll take anything. They gave me old expired bread which turned moldy in a few days but when you have nothing that bread is a godsend. The only thing I didn't eat was the half defrosted meat they gave me, that scared me a little & I wasn't willing to get sick over it.

Many people are over weight because they cannot afford the healthier foods. They buy cheap food which is high in calories and starch, sugar, etc. I once felt the same way when I saw an overweight person. I was wrong. Sorry 'bout dat.

[InspiredMuse74]

I am heavy but it is not because I eat too much. I have a disablity so it gives me a little extra weight just because you are heavy does not mean you need to starve. SHESH!
