And is it pink hair, or purple? Seems like you weren't paying attention, so the credibility in the "details" you present is suspect. I'm wondering if there is any such commercial after all ...

a. its a commercial. if they want sympathy for hunger, dont put an obese person on it!
b. if she didnt eat 5000 calories a day, maybe there would be more $ for 2000 calories a day

End the pandemic by minimizing the disease and subsidizing the public to stay home. Ignoring it and hoping it goes away has been the federal government’s M.O. for the past eight months and we’re now at record levels for infections. Try harder.

Beans and rice paired together has nutritional value It’s the exception to the list of non nutritions fillers.

I’m aware. Just noting that people keep using the fact that we have a lot of obese and overweight people to deny the fact that many people are going hungry.

The Ordeal of Herbert Hoover, Part 2

Defensive to the point of bewilderment, he told reporters, "No one is actually starving." In fact, said Hoover, he knew of one hobo who had managed to beg ten meals in a single day. He once offered Rudy Vallee a gold medal if the popular entertainer could come up with a joke to curtail hoarding of gold. Increasingly the joke, such as it was, was the man U.S. News called "President Reject." "Mellon pulled the whistle," went one Democratic campaign doggerel, "Hoover rang the bell, Wall Street gave the signal, And the country went to hell." (my emphasis)


Rinse and repeat some 90 years later ...

people dont get it. what would we do WITHOUT the rich? who would pay for the welfare?
