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?

Two miles is a piece of cake when you just throw the kids in the minivan

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.

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.”

Kid's Forced to eat Fast Food????? Good One!!!!
Given the crime rate in many of these inner city neighborhoods, is it any surprise that businesses don't want to locate there. A business goes where it is safe and profitable to do business. A point seemingly lost on the first lady.

Well FAT ASS Michelle can WANT all that money 'til the rest of the FAT ASS pigs come home, but the new conservative power in Washington is going to tell her, and her spend, spend, spend like the wind IDIOT HUSBAND to STICK IT WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE... THE TITS RUN DRY.
The 'new conservatives' in Washington are going to do jack shit, except matbe advocate the same old tried, tested and failed 1980s Reagan bullshit.

Another point lost on her is waste. Ever see how much good food gets trashed in a school cafeteria??? It's pretty sad.
I'm not sure about "poor" people having no cars ... a lot of them sure drive around in cars I can't afford. Even so, they still descend like locusts on their local Walmart on "payday" and other shoppers are smart enough to know you never go to Walmart on those days.
It's a game. True story: I was in line behind a woman who used her food stamp card to buy a pack of gum and requested $100 back in cash AND wanted to know if she could use her card again that same day. Now, what do you think she was going to do with that $100?

I'll remember that at least one of you ignorant liberal dumbass' said that when nothing could be further from the truth.
The liberals have been on an UNPRECEDENTED SPENDING SPREE of EPIC PROPORTIONS, and the people of America have been telling them to STOP SPENDING! They didn't listen, but the conservatives did. You got a big surprise coming there chief. Get a clue.

What does that have to do with availability of healthier food dumbass? That doesn't explain why healthier food is more expensive than unhealthy, greasy, sugary, fatty food.

How did that spending spree to pay for two wars work out?
Conservatives always find the money to go to war......ask to spend money to help Americans and they cry......SOCIALISM

Part of the cost formula is processing, the more the demand, the better the breaks in getting it on the shelf. There is a natural course here, if you just let it be.
