In my part of the country (western Wisconsin) we have a large drive going to "feed the hungry" among the area's population. As I motor around and visit malls and other large gathering places, I'm wondering "where in blazes are all the hungry?" Mostly I see a very large percentage of blimp-sized children and their proportionally jumbo-sized parents. Where are the human wraithes and skeletons hiding? I'd like to see how many actual hungry people there are in my area. I certainly can't find them.

I live in one of the economically worst areas where huge numbers of people are collecting welfare, WIC, Food Stamps, there are free breakfasts and lunch at the HeadStarts and schools and all the time they say we've got a problem ---we also have the nation's worse obesity problem, childhood obesity especially. You see the people with carts piled high with cookies, cokes, and ice cream pull out a Lone Star card (food stamps) to pay for it all.
