here's a shock. I've seen plenty of fat freaks from NY. in fact, everyone I have ever met from NY has been a fat person. granted, they were all from "upstate" but they were still from NY.

Duh! I never said they didn't, but in this case, that's where to assign the blame. Also, if anyone suggests limiting what you can buy, (ala ...Bloomberg) all of the libertarians come out of the closet saying "Oh, you're restricting choice", "the horror of it all!" If you want all that freedom, you're going to end up paying for it - one way or another!

My heart bleeds for you. LOL.

I think the liberals may have a slight lead in the washboard abs category!

Just one more reason why Foodstamps needs to be run more like the WIC program. As run now, the program is apparently not meeting its goals of assuring families have adequate NUTRITION.


Mandatory nutrition and budgeting classes should also be given at least once a year as a requisite for collecting these food benefits. Maybe even ALL benefits.


Benefits should have strings designed to actually solve problems at their roots, rather than designed to fail so that more good money can be thrown after bad.
