    Default Poor people, can't afford food

    I saw this article and had to post it. Everyone needs to take a gander at the picture of the 400 pound women who "can't afford good food". Poor woman has had to cut down on ice cream.

    Nunez and her six siblings grew up middle class.

    Nunez and most of her siblings and their spouses are unemployed and rely on government assistance and food stamps. Some have part-time jobs,

    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.
    Off to the side it also says that for her and her 19 yr old daughter they spend $250 a month of food, their only other bill being $100 in subsidized rent.

    Why arn't her 6 siblings able to find work?

    Why isn't her 19yr old able to find work?

    Why don't these people move to a new area to find work??

    Can anyone say LAZY??

    I spend less than $500 a month and I feed 6 people

    As you will see, the original poster misrepresented the article. The woman and her family have been victimized by capitalists and their conservative stooges.

    Who are you trying to fucking kid you ignoramous? It is a well known fact that poor people eat fattening unhealthy food because it is cheap and readily available, that is why you are the most obese country in the world.Reality check moron, step on the scales you fat bastard, the likelyhood is that you are morbidly obese and have posted that pic and comment for a cheap laugh.

    God bless America land of the fat, ignorant, disenfrachised thick bastards.

    That's a myth. The really fatty stuff is cheaper only when you have prepared food, meaning eating out. As a college student living on a VERY tight budget, I can tell you that the cheapest things to eat are NOT fattening, given that you're actually willing to spend a little time COOKING them, things like rice, beans, in-season veggies, etc.

    Add the price of the energy to cook the food.

    Thank you for the link.
    The poster has misrepresented the facts by omission.

    Are there really people who can't work? I mean barring the absolutely retarded and insane people. Heck, Ive seen people with mental handicaps work. What on earth can possibly prevent people from doing something for work?
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    I forgot to post the link. The only things I posted were directly from the article. Hard to misrepresent direct quotes.

    What I find impossible to understand is why this lady, her child and most of her 6 siblings and their spouses can't find work. What the hell??
