Searching for America's starving children

[Katzndogz]

Malnutrition is generally found in young, liberal households. The parents are vegan, gluten free with allergies.

You see the signs everywhere, promoted by lying organizations like feedingamerica.org (taxpayer funded). Apparently 1 in 5 children in this country are starving. Millions of them!

Now I'm looking everywhere for the emaciated skeletons like I grew up watching on TV shows on Ethiopian famines, but I keep seeing all these well fed youngsters inhaling Doritos and Coke while outdoing their last high score on Xbox.

I'm perplexed because if 20% of kids are suffering the cruel pangs of starvation, should they be this hard to find?

They are not hard to find. Many areas of the country have poor neighborhoods, unemployed parents, disabled parents, and very little to eat. Have you ever heard of the people that live in the Appalachian Mountains? A little research will reveal poor and depressed areas all across this nation. You may not see them with your own eyes, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist.

Also, entire families are homeless, living in tent cities, and some even eating out of trash cans. It wasn't that long ago that many food pantries had empty shelves. Have you even seen the crowds that gather when churches hand out donated food? Have you even seen little kids panhandling outside grocery stores? Have you ever heard of community food drives that gather can goods for needy families? Have you ever heard of kids getting their only meals during the day while at school?

Believe me, the poor do exist, and their numbers are growing as we speak. A little research may open your eyes to the poverty in this country.

Sonny "Fuckin'" Clark, most poverty is the result of poor personal choices, like drugs, dropping out of school, getting pregnant, and so on.

Today's poor suffer from obesity, not starvation.

One out of five live beneath the poverty line is what is the fact.

Hungry children? Go to Rivercrest in Angelina County or Ragtown in Shelby County, both in Texas, for starters, muffinhead.

So the Great Society programs have obviously been a failure. Probably time we stop wasting our money on them.

They haven't always been a failure. The starvation in the Appalachias 30 years ago was a time when our country saw genuine need and government and charities worked together to address it. It's why I hate this Leftist lie that somehow America neglects 16 million children. That's not who we are.

Lefties resent the fact that we dont' just kill the babies of the poor outright.

actually, looking at the history of the left....and if you talk to any leftist long enough they will say the world is overpopulated, looking at the history of the left, they don't even like adult poor people........the mass graves they filled prove it....

Which is why they don't give a shit how many women are abused and killed to support the baby killing industry. They are staunch supporters of human trafficking, prostitution, you name it.

Hungry children? Look on your freaking couch, idiot. There ain't a (male) adolescent kid in this Country who isn't hungry all the time. Hunger is a political issue and the leftie commercials like to use the phrase "go to bed hungry" when it's just about meaningless. Now can we talk about the real issue? Does any useful idiot on the left allege that a single American kid suffers from malnutrition?

If anyone alleges that American kids do not suffer from malnutrition, that person is woefully ignorant, mentally feeble, or malignantly motivate, or a combination of any or all three.

I thought Americans had a weight problem but now we are underfed? I'm so f'n confused.

What we DO have is a sloth problem in this nation. Rather than cook your child a real meal you stop at McDonalds and get them a sad meal. Or buy little pre-packaged microwavable servings of mac and cheese. You don't fix lazy with a free breakfast at school either - that essentially does nothing.
.

It does feed a child who may not otherwise get a breakfast- or even a healthy meal that day.

Look at the program that the OP attacked- feeding America- it works with food banks working with volunteers and faith based organizations to distribute food- not Happy Meals- to people who are food insecure.

I really don't understand why someone is against helping poor people get access to food- especially better food.

Come on, if the free lunch and free breakfast kids aren't getting fed at home, it is because it is too easy to swap benefits for drugs, sex, porn and tattoos.

I guess you didn't read our posts...we said if children are malnourished...it is the parents at fault...and not every parent is homeless....the ones with the kids with no food...are more likely wards of democrats....addicted to drugs, children themselves raising children in inner city hell holes created by democrats.....

The underlying problem is democrats........

And the above, as encapsulated by #86, is why a far right social con will never be the GOP presidential candidate.

The loonies will prevent it every time.

No child is starving in America.....Period!

You are a very foolish person if you believe that emphatically. We read about children being starved in America, either being forgotten by the system or abused by the parents.

Show us!... you have the web at your fingertips

Starvation is not a problem in this country, but malnutrition is. Public schools should (and many do) provide free breakfast and lunch to neglected children. I don't like welfare dependency but, in the absence of forced sterilization, what are we going to do about their shitty parents?

Are their parents "shitty" because they are poor? Is poverty a character flaw?

No, they are poor because they are "shitty".

Poverty is a character flaw.

If it wasn't the poor would not be such a fluid class, with so many moving in and out of poverty all the time.

Child Hunger Poverty Fact Sheet Feeding America

San Diego Hunger Coalition

States where the most children go hungry

For Republicans it's not enough to see studies. They want to see children suffering. They want the kids crying from hunger. Then they will tell the mother it's her fault for having a kids she can't take care of.

How many hungry, suffering children have you fed?

I haven't even seen any.

Except under democrats in power...then poverty is widespread and a permanent state...but they will keep voting for democrats......

You said they weren't. I said some were. Prove it, since it is your assertive obligation.

Anyone who thinks poverty has a shitty character flaw.

Then why are the higher percentages in the red states?

More black folks.

Even a cave man knows that.

Actually, it's the onus of the person who claimed children were starving to prove it. You can't prove a negative. Now shut up, fake. Nobody gives a shit what you have to say. But as usual, what you have said is a lie.

 

[Roadrunner]

Anyone who thinks poverty is a character flaw is shitty.

In the Land of Opportunity, remaining in poverty is a character flaw.

I taught way too many kids that escaped it to believe anything else.

You're asking me to prove a negative....If a child is starving from a lack of nutrition and has no where to get fed it would be huge news...so show us!

 

[2aguy]

Anyone who thinks poverty is a character flaw is shitty.

Poverty is most often created by bad choices....studies show that if you graduate from high school, don't get a criminal record, don't have children before you are married and have a stable job....then you won't live in poverty

do any of those things, drop out, use drugs or alcohol, commit crimes and get caught, and start having kids when you are a teenager...then you will be in poverty..........sadly, too many kids are being raised by kids, and they never learn to be responsible and how to avoid the pitfalls of life, they get scooped up by the democrats and become serfs for life.....
