Hyped situation for peanuts!!!

Jeeze-amo Pete, Sawz... The military spills more in one day than we are spending to feed hungry kids... When you start complaining about presidents starting extremely expensive wars of choice then I'll take your indignation seriously... But one thing I'll tell you is that the government has no idea how much hunger there is out there... I know a little bit about this because from working as a social worker for, ahhhhh, the government...

The statistics that they do keep is poverty levels because that kinda information fits nicely into their computer programs but they don't know squat about the effects of poverty...

Like I said, if we ahve 20% poverty rate it would stand to reason that the "1 in 5" is not all that much of a stretch, especially when you weigh in the fact that poor people tend to have more children...

Nah, I think I'll stick with the 1 in 5... You ghaven't ptoved that to be wrong other than ask folks who are clueless... The websites I have seen are by community based organizations... They are there in the community... Beaurocrats aren't...
