Listened to an NPR story a few months ago about a poor town in the south, think it was Texas. The story was about how people were living back in the depression compared to now. Back in the depression, people in that town were generally under-nourished and skinny because they couldn't pay for shit and there wasn't a lot of resources to help them out: Not much money to provide for any substantial food. Today, the people are generally under-nourished, FAT and many are diabetic. Apparently, the help money they get now from government and local resources is spent on sweets and fatty snack food for the family, rather than food of nourishment and substance.
Where do you lay the blame?
- On the free money?
- On the ignorance and laziness of the person who uses the money?
- On the snack food industry pushing advertisements for "healthy" food that's not really that healthy?
- Others I can't think of?
Personally, I'm going with "All of the above, Bob, for my answer.".
