So, are you going to actually post an opinion or something?
Or are you going to continue to call me an ideologue because I said "No."

I read the article that MF posted. So the conclusion here is that many of the poor in Canada are unable to feed themselves adequately and are oft times going to bed hungry?
What a load. That is just like them saying poor in the US are starving and millions of children are going to bed hungry when studies show that our "poor" are the most obese of all classes.

You're confused about my opinion of what the U.N. has become??? or that I won't play your silly games?
No, I'm responding to posts on topic (like Eaglesmack's).
Get a clue.
That actually makes sense, as the cheapest food is the worst for you.
No it doesn't because even eating the most cheapest food, the most unhealthy food will stave off hunger. We're talking about hunger and starvation, not being unhealthy.
They don't have to be fat. For under a dollar I could feed myself and my wife without eating any excess carbs or fat and meet all our nutritional needs. All it takes is a little knowledge.
People who are fat can certainly be hungry. And if their food source is completely cut off they will eventually be starving. However the fact of the matter they are the most obese of all classes so the food source is so plentiful that it has caused them to over eat enough to become over weight.
Poverty is getting worse or the expectations of those who choose to be impoverished is getting worse?
It's their choices that make them fat. If they learned to cook they wouldn't have these issues.
Sure, this is all hypothetical. I don't have the figures on the obesity level of the 800,000 people currently suffering, but either way, that doesn't deny that they exist.
Please. Our poor in the US live quite well. I grew up in a city where kids who were "poor" had better clothes, sneakers, and always had spending money to do whatever they wish. Granted it came from the state and their parents didn't earn it. Whereas my family growing up were lower middle class and not on state or government assistance and watched every dime.
Come on MF! 800,000 people in Canada are NOT suffering from starvation! Please show me the famine stricken areas of Canada.
Anecdotal? Not at all. When was the last time there was an unavoidable starvation death in Canada or US?
It is fact and evidence. I see it all around me. Our poor receive so much money in food stamps and government assistance that they sell it for cash.
Do you know our poor can use their state and government assistance for visits to the nail salons? That is the state of poverty in the US.
Which is total garbage! It is asinine to make that statement.
It is almost ridiculous as "food deserts".
I saw a news report recently on a food bank. The woman they interviewed was over weight AND receiving free food. Oh gosh... the horror!
