…but D.C. is seldom a reality show.

In the military/industrial complex there are hundreds of billions if not a trillion or two wrapped up in that.

Just today on the radio I learned that 1 out of 6 Americans are struggling with hunger. The ‘fat American’ isn’t true. You can pick out some but not all.

Sadly, Congress seems unable to tell the difference between “Fat”, and “Pork”!

You obviously don’t live in Michigan!

No, I don’t live in Michigan. It has the biggest union membership state in the country. No ‘right to work’ law. Democrats from top to bottom. Highest unemployment in the country. High taxes. Michigan may have fat people, but there are far more poor skinny people.

I read about a study that suggested that slightly overweight person may have a lower mortality rate than someone of normal or underweight. However the study was flawed in that the group of normal or underweight persons included cancer and terminally ill patients, whom already have a shorter than average life expectancy.

I have to agree with Ima. It’s beyond absurd that some people in this country are dying of health issues related to eating too much while others literally starve to death. I read an estimate somewhere that around the world, 1 person dies of starvation every 4 seconds. Just some food for thought.

Its about obesity. You can eat $.99 cheeseburgers all day everyday and still be fat. Its all about empty calories.

When you don’t have much money you have to be frugal in what you can purchase. So they tend to get cheap food not the healthiest. That can make you fat and still unhealthy.

Hey Mr. Honey Boo Boo, obviously you don’t read the real news that Michigan passed a vile right to work cheap law that crushed union rights.

90% of the information available to you each day is best disregarded…..it’s BS.

Wow. Ima thinks that Michican is “Democrats from top to bottom?” What the hell? He’s a bigger idiot than I thought. Michigan’s Republican governor, Republican senate, and Republican house have been in the news ALL YEAR. Please, if you are SO IGNORANT, please LEARN SOMETHING before you WASTE OUR TIME.
