I seriously doubt the family was starving. I can’t believe any story put forth by the media from any country. You simply can’t take the word of a member of the liberal media at face value. If the events of the past year have shown us, liberals can never be trusted to tell the truth...about anything.

If you read the article her monthly welfare check was lost in the mail so she was out of money to buy food.

Agreed. Starving? I don’t think so.

Food stamps provides about a hundred bucks per person per month.
Schools provide bk and lunch 5 days a week (no deduction from EBT for that).
Our little podunk county has 27 (count ‘em) private food banks.

I struggle with the constant references in the media to people “going to bed hungry every night”.

"I seriously doubt the family was starving."

"(Stacy) remembered her from a prior visit to her house and recalled how poverty stricken she was. Her family all sleep on mattresses on the floor.

'The story she told me Saturday matched up with what I had seen when I was there,' said Stacy according to Al.com.

'I felt like it was the right thing to do. I didn't want to pass judgment on her.'

He bought her a carton of eggs and when Johnson asked Stacy how she could repay him, he simply asked her never to shoplift again."

Given our EBT & out of control welfare programs, it’s literally impossible.
