HAHAH.....Touche ! In literally every other place on the planet, the poor are skinny and the rich are fat. Simple ability to purchase either not enough or too much sustenance. HAHAHA....in this place, with the monkeys running the zoo in D.C., the RICH are skinny and the poor are FAT....
it IS ludicrous but I don't say it's their fault. The 'poor' eat an inordinate amount of 'fast food'. Mickey-D's, burger King, KFC, etc., etc., etc. It USED to be cheap food, but now it's not so cheap and it's absolutely LOADED with fat and empty calories. So poor kids eat crap and bloat like a constipated mule. It's THE #1 reason why blacks are, next to death by gunshot, most susceptible to heart attack and coronary artery disease. Wanna get even deeper into this...the fact that 'the poor' are generally single-parent families (over 60%), and given the rates of drug addiction and alcoholism extant among 'the poor', the kids are on their own. So they turn to fast food. They grow up on it...and then they feed THEIR kids on it.
YANK THE FUNDING !!! THEY'D BE HEALTHIER IF THEY PICKED ROTTING GARBAGE FROM DUMPSTERS THAN IF THEY ATE FAST FOOD. Better yet, without making money by living an 'alternate' lifestyle (becoming mainstream), they'd be forced to actually 'participate' in the mainstream where families have 2 parents, one or both of 'em work, and the kids go to school where they belong.
Subsidizing the poor just makes more poor.
