At least you dont try to hide your socialistic, even communist adjenda.
I know, especially not when I'm being sarcastic, which is never, because I'm never sarcastic. What is irony? That is a question I don't know the answer to. Sometimes I wish I were capable of irony so that I could say the same thing as what I mean, while ironing my shirt. I think that's what it means, right? I guess. I'll have to ask my ultimate mentor Karl Marx while I'm preparing for the worldwide international revolution of the proletariat, then I can help the pigs take control of the farm and send all the horses to the glue factory.
I've never seen a fat homeless person before, but maybe that's because I live in Alabama. Although... Alabama is the second fattest state and certainly has its share of homeless people, especially in urban Birmingham, so seemingly I would be in the most likely place ever to see a fat homeless person, yet I can't recall such a thing ever happening... most of the homeless people I've met have been uniformly old, male, scrawny and leathery. Actually, now I take it back because I did see a somewhat chubby lady standing by the interstate with a sign one time, but she might not have been homeless, although I gave her a few dollars I think.
That is odd. Maybe my homeless people are just more clever than yours . We got some chunky ones in this town! They keep living year after year too... which is surprising with our 0 - 100 degree seasonal temperatures up here! I have seen a fair number of fat ones in Toronto, Atlanta, Orlando and a lot of healthy ones in Las Vegas... but I kind of expected that one.
I don't understand the criticism of people going to food banks to get DONATED FOOD! It's not as though they are being given televisions or designer clothes!!

We are not criticizing people going to get donated food, we are criticizing some of the statements that those going to get that free food made, and criticizing the policies that require those individuals to be there in the first place.

Well, they are driving to the food banks... with their own cars and their own gas... a rather fancy endeavor for a person without a next meal. A drive-thru food line... doesn't get much more American than that now does it? How many of these people are overweight I wonder?

Yeah, that would be pretty silly... considering they likely already have both. They could probably scrap their tv's just for the copper and make enough money to buy a few loaves of bread.

Considering that some of these individuals are sitting in line for 4 hours, one would assume idling their car for heat because its cold out, I would think they would save money by not going because at the price of fuel, it would be cheaper to stay home.

Read the article. It wasn't those going to get the food that made the comments.
It was the guy who RAN the food bank.
