awww, that's what got yer panties all in a bunch, it ATTACKS MaBella Obama for showing the SCAM she's pulling on the American people. I C.. waaaaa
You have still failed to demonstrate where, exactly the scam is.
Just because you disapprove of making food more accessable to poor people doesn't make it a scam
When will "poor people" be satisfied with the gifts they are already given?

She's trolling, thats what it is, now the Republicans telling the American people trickle down economics through tax cuts for the ultra wealthy is needed to revive the economy, that is a scam dear Stephanie will not admit to.
When is the last time a Homeless Person hired you? .... Thought so.
Bump for Flaylo.
It doesn't. Furthermore there are Pantries, Soup Kitchens, and other various Social Aid Programs, both Government and Private. Ton's of food given away.
Depends on where you're from and or where you're at, that isn't always the case and people still starve.

I thought all that trickle down would reach the Homeless
What "trickle down" policies over the past two years have put record numbers of Americans on food assistance? Four years?

Why don't you answer my question, since I've been patient enough to ask three times now:

Why do you assume it cost's more in the inner city? False premise.

You'll have to ask Flaylo that, it's his statement that food costs twice as much in the inner city than it does in the suburbs. So far he's been reluctant to shed any light on that claim.
what the hell are you babbling about?
can you EVER stick on the topic of the thread.
You are the idiot who equates a poor family having to walk .85 miles to get to a Supermarket to the middle class mother throwing the kids in the minivan
who's the fattest and what's the problem with walking two miles a day? anything?

Walking a mile or two to get to a supermarket is not a terrible burden, and it would be healthy exercise
Walking back with a load of groceries....not so easy

First Lady Michelle Obama has called on Congress to create a $400 million-a-year program to encourage the establishment of supermarkets in places she calls food deserts.
The situation in these food deserts, as Mrs. Obama describes it, is quite dire indeed. American children are growing fat because their parents cannot get to a supermarketto buy fruits and vegetableswithout undergoing the hardship of boarding a bus or riding a taxi. As a consequence, food-desert-dwelling children are forced to eat fast food and junk procured at chain restaurants and convenience stores.
In a March 10 speech, the first lady painted a sad picture of their plight. Right now, 23.5 million Americans, including 6.5 million kids, live in what we call food desertsthese are areas without a supermarket, she explained. And as a result these families wind up buying their groceries at the local gas station or convenience store, places that offer few, if any, healthy options.
She offered a solution. Lets move to ensure that all families have access to healthy, affordable foods in their community, she said. (W)eve set an ambitious goal here: to eliminate food deserts in America within seven years.
To do that, she said, were creating a Healthy Food Financing Initiative thats going to invest $400 million a yearand leverage hundreds of millions more from the private sectorto bring grocery stores to underserved areas and help places like convenience stores carry healthier options.
Pushing this $400 million food-desert-eradication plan became a standard part of Mrs. Obamas stump speech.
In February, she promoted it in a Philadelphia neighborhood she said had just emerged from a 10-year period without a supermarketthanks to subsidies from the enlightened state government of Pennsylvania.
For 10 years, folks had to buy their groceries at places like convenience stores and gas stations, where usually they dont have a whole lot of fresh food, if any, to choose from, said Mrs. Obama. So that means if a mom wanted to buy a head of lettuce to make a salad in this community, or have some fresh fruit for their kids lunch, that means she would have to get on a bus, navigate public transportation with the big bags of groceries, probably more than one time a week, or, worse yet, pay for a taxicab ride to get some other supermarket in another community, just to feed her kids.
Congress left town for the November election without having approved any fiscal 2011 spending bill. So, as of yet, it is uncertain whether Mrs. Obama will get her $400 million-per-year to subsidize supermarkets in food deserts. The agricultural bill that has been working its way through Congress includes only a $40 million earmark for the program.
But does it deserve a single penny?
In the 2008 farm bill, Congress mandated that the department conduct a $500,000 study of food deserts. The studyAccess to Affordable and Nutritious Food: Measuring and Understanding Food Deserts and Their Consequenceswas published in June 2009.
The report demonstrates that Mrs. Obamas depiction of American food deserts is fatuous at best. Lower-income Americans live closer to supermarkets than higher-income Americans.

I think they already have public transportation (buses)
However, I'm worried about the assistance they may need to wipe their asses.

Samson is worried they'll flush the TP instead of giving it to Samson
People in rural areas don't have public transportation and many urban areas have poor public trans systems.
