Absolute BS! There are people getting food stamps who have cell phones, cable, etc..
So, what’s next, tax the “rich” to pay for turkeys?
Hey wait, is not 36 million the number touted by the Dems as being uninsured? Irony.....http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/43668
I remember as a child almost everyone in Arkansas loved Gov. Faubua because of his “commodities” program. Every month they handed out free food. The more they get dependent on the government and hating “rich” folks, the more power they will have and the quicker we’ll see the end of the “republic” that Franklin suspected we couldn’t keep.
This must be the cause of "obesity" in the poor.
Feed the homeless to the poor, 2 birds 1 stone.
Thats because jobs are scarce and people used up all their unemployment.
My wonderful wife is from the Philippines, there is real poverty and ‘food insecurity’ there. The ‘poor’ in the USA are fabulously wealthy by comparison.
Wow! whatever happened to the days of Victory Gardens? All the rural people I know,including myself, grow a lot or our own food every summer and put it up for winter and beyond.
Do you think the Amish go hungry?
Sounds like a WORK shortage, not a food shortage..
Food “insecure”? They can’t find widespread hunger in the US so now we just have people who are “insecure” about food.
Well, I’d say at least the same number of Americans are feeling very “liberty insecure” lately. But I don’t suppose they will be issuing any redeemable Freedom Stamps to help us out with that.

36 MILLION AMERICANS WILL BE FOOD “INSECURE” suffer from food insecurity yet they possess:
1) LCD TV
2) the playboy channel
3) The latest video games and accessories
4) Illegal narcotics
5) size 56 waist pants
6) money to dine at Micky D’s breakfast, lunch and dinner.
7) lap dance cash
8) a 5000 dollar stereo system in a 500 dollar P.O.S car
9) a closet full of Obama t-shirts
10) several cell phones to keep the bill collectors away.
If you are hungry in America, and not utterly infirm, then you are hopelessly lazy. And also,, Thanksgiving is the time to count our blessings, not to try to prove how imperfect we are.
Well......I bought a nice Butterball......
LOL
And even if you discount the fact that fast-food is cheap to the point of being ridiculous, and that almost every town has a church that will feed a hungry person, and that our poor are often obese,, food is EASY to find here.
Ten dollars will buy a months supply of potatoes, another Ten will buy a month of pasta. Cheap vegetables are abundant. Flour, sugar, and rice by the big bag,,, and lord forbid they grow a garden and freeze their own vegetables.
Many people no longer cook. They buy 15 dollar pizza and soda for ONE MEAL. That could buy a month of flour and sugar. I had dinner with a Ukranian family once. I was there early enough to watch ‘em cook. A beet or two, an onion, a carrot, and about a large meatballs worth of meat was turned into an amazing soup for 6 people.
I know this is verboten,,but we they spent *half* as much time teaching girls to cook from scratch, as we did teaching em how to put a condom on a cubumber,,,,,,
