Just can't help myself on this one. Article out of Chicago today and front page here in Ft Myers . Fl. You've probably noticed all the fat kids walking around these days. I know why!! Food stamps.
12% of kids in my county are currently on food stamps. Not bad.
Nationwide, 50% of all kids will be on food stamps during their childhood. It is even worse among certain segments of the population. NINETY % of the African American kids will be on food stamps some time during their childhood.
How about killing 2 birds with one stone.. Cut back on food stamps and kids will get skinnier!! Seems so simple to me. It is probably not possible , now that we have so many depending on the stamps to keep from starving.. Rich, an ex very fat person.

p.s. Yes, I know there is a certain % that need the help.....
