The face of a low income family in Ohio

by Puteri | July 18th, 2008

Some years ago, I read a story by a journalist recounting why some of his Indian relatives wanted to emigrate to the US. One of the reasons they gave was they wanted to move to a country where the poor are fat.

The following story by NPR illustrates that point rather well. I do not want to sound heartless but I think going without meat could be one of the best things that the Nunez family can do for themselves!

If NPR is trying to make us feel sorry for folks like the Nunez in Ohio, I think they fail miserably once people see how well fed they look!

    Puteri,

    My goodness! My Haitian friends can only dream about being poor like these women. When lefty/liberal friends try to tell me about all “the poor” we have in the U.S., I ask them to show me where all the starving people are. They are unable to do so. The only “starving” looking people around are those addicted to methamphetamine or alcohol.

    Douglas ;-)
