<DIV><FONT face=Arial>BINGO! Thanks, Keely. We never seem to notice that the
"bare minimum" food-stuffs we provide for the poor actually KILL THEM. Native
American populations have a much higher rate of diabetes, heart disease, and
respiratory ailments because of the "subsistance" foods provided them through
the "largesse" of the government. people in poverty have access only to high
fat, high sugar, processed sinthesized food-like substances. Food stamps will
get you fresh food if you have access to it. Many neighborhoods in poverty areas
have no access to grocery store---7-11 is their "grocery". If you are
living in a car, with no way to cook food, you can't get that very inexpensive
already cooked roast chicken from Winco on your food stamps. You can, however,
buy potato chips and candy...you can't buy vitamin supplements, but you can buy
seeds to plant food---where you can plant them? Hmmmmm....</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Yes, Sean, that's right -- beans and rice (and lentils and peas
and other legumes and grains) will keep you from literally dying from
starvation. <BR><BR>(Good boy; here's a delicious marrow-filled bone . .
. now please go away. Your callousness and indifference is quite
unappealing).<BR><BR>One thing the rice-and-beans diet WILL do, besides
keeping you from wasting away from hunger, however, is make you fat. It
will drain you of energy, ensure that your weight skyrockets, and will
introduce you to the fun world of diabetes and, with it, possible kidney
failure, blindness, amputation and a host of other complications. But
that's OK, because then you can be unable to go to the doctor -- because,
remember, you're too poor to eat anything other than starches -- until you
show up at the ER with life-threatening complications from the otherwise
largely-avoidable Type 2 diabetes you were unable to manage carefully owing to
that very lack of medical care. You'll likely die up to 20 years sooner
than you would've, but your kids, already miserably overweight and not at all
aware of how to eat properly, and still suffering from the poor-person's lack
of medical care, will take up the slack and eventually make THEIR way to the
emergency room. It'll be a nice way to create memories, but you and your
conservative, Religious Right friends will gripe about the cost of their
too-late health care and do whatever you can to prevent this country from both
feeding poor people and working to eliminate hunger, as well as developing a
system of medical care that will extend the lives of millions and millions of
people.<BR><BR>One point: If you make a few million bucks a year with
this blather, Sean, it's really very sad that your economically not-well-off
friends, whose habits you seem to know well, are reduced to a cheap diet like
that. Could you spare a few bucks to augment their diet? It would
be the friendly thing to do . . . unless there really aren't "friends of
(yours)" in such a situation. Still, you look could look further . . .

Subject: [Vision2020] Say What?<BR>> <BR>> "I don't believe people are
going to bed hungry. For, instance I have friends of mine who eat rice and
beans all the time. Beans protein, rice. Inexpensive. You can make a big pot
of this for a week for negligible amounts of money and you can feed your whole
family.<BR>> <BR>> Look, you should have vegetables and fruit in there
as well, but if you need to survive you can survive off it. It's not ideal but
you could get some cheap meat and throw in there as well for protein. There
are ways to live really, really cheaply."<BR>> <BR>> - Fox News' Sean
