Something is just a little out of place with this story...

"For Some Ohioans, Even Meat Is Out Of Reach"

Quote :

"Nunez and most of her siblings and their spouses are unemployed and rely on government assistance and food stamps. Some have part-time jobs, but working is made more difficult with no car or public transportation."

Quote :

"The rising cost of food means their money gets them about a third fewer bags of groceries — $100 used to buy about 12 bags of groceries, but now it's more like seven or eight. So they cut back on expensive items like meat, and they don't buy extras like ice cream anymore. Instead, they eat a lot of starches like potatoes and noodles."

And then there is this photo...

Yeah, poor people are fat.

this may be a good thing

I can believe that. The blue bunny ice cream was on sale @ food lion for less than the FL brand. So was PET.

However, if you consume a reasonable amount of food this hasn't gotten uber-terrible yet. We've replaced 2nd helpings of meat with some buttered noodles or other 'filling' foods. Additionally we make sure left over food gets eaten instead of sitting in the fridge for a week. Just stepped it up to 2 nights of "leftovers" instead of 1 per week.

When scientists pull their heads out of their asses and start focusing on insulin response to simple carbohydrates we'll be on the way to figuring out how people can look like that

Well there's your problem.

I find this to be even more terribly wrong:

Quote :

"Nunez, 40, has never worked and has no high school degree. She says a car accident 17 years ago left her depressed and disabled, incapable of getting a job. Instead, she and her daughter, Angelica Hernandez, survive on a $637 Social Security check and $102 in food stamps. Hernandez received her high school diploma and has had several jobs in recent years. But now, because fewer restaurants and stores are hiring, she says she finds it hard to find a job. Even if she could, she says it's particularly hard to imagine how she'll keep it. She says she needs someone to give her a lift just to get to an interview. And with gas prices so high, she's not sure she could afford to pay someone to drive her to work every day. People tell Nunez her daughter could get more money in public assistance if she had a child. "A lot of people have told me, 'Why don't your daughter have a kid?'""

Someone doesn't have a right to complain about a goddamn thing.

I'm moving to Europe.

7/19/2008 2:51:08 AM

Awesome, where in particular?

7/19/2008 2:56:57 AM

The capital.

7/19/2008 3:00:24 AM

So Luxembourg then!

7/19/2008 3:05:32 AM

Yeah, that'll be good.

7/19/2008 3:06:10 AM

Looks like the daughter NEEDS to walk to work every day.

7/19/2008 3:06:37 AM

Sick burn!

7/19/2008 3:08:58 AM

Honestly these people should be put down like sick cattle. What the FUCK have they ever contributed to society that earns them the right to leech off the hard work of others?

So if she had a car accident 17 years ago when she was 23, and she dropped out of high school at some point, that's probably at least 6 years of good health when she still "never worked." That's not called depressed, that's called tragically lazy.

Could it be because your daughter is so immensely obese that no man or walrus in his right mind would come near it?

I'm glad they aren't contemplating that one...shows you the mentality of a lot of people down...they don't want to pull themselves up.

7/19/2008 6:14:12 AM

yes, please spay or neuter poor fat people please.

If my comment offends anyone here on tww, please remind yourself that these are poor fat people and you'd be doing their jeans a service and besides, the amount of clothing that covers fat people equals to 3-4 regular sized humans or enough to cloth a dozen babies!!! A DOZEN

And the liberals want to increase the number of people like this in america.

The more socialist we be come, the less incentive there is for people to work.

Most points have already been covered in this thread.

Take your whale ass daughter to a goddamn store and buy some fucking bras!

Fat lady bras aren't cheap, but I'm sure they could rig up some with some duct tape and washed out ice cream buckets.
Failing that, make quickly with some americanized burqas: bedsheets.

Holy fucking hell. That daughter has sumo wrestler titties. Yet another thing about them that just isn't right.

this pisses me off, she is clearly up walking around in that photo, so whatever disbility she has is not enough to warrent her never having a job. fat lazy and fucking stupid.

LOL

There's a McDonald's 0.3 miles from the "only employer within walking distance" of the lair of these she-beasts.

If you can't or won't get a job at McDonald's when all else fails, you don't deserve to be the gov't payroll.

No liberals want to increase the number of people like that

But someone needs to find out who these people that say this are, and throw them in a volcano.
