Hello food police!
Maybe they might consider those communal food markets we discussed on another thread. Only offer healthy foods to those on food stamps. (Snarc mark here)
Huh? Anyone can buy healthy food, but in poorer households people tend to eat more carbs and fast foods. Or so I've heard.
Its a problem and I hope Mrs. Obama can save a few chubbies, but I'm with the people here who blame lack of exercise. Some schools in NJ are letting kids "opt out" of phys ed, and if you saw how many kids in my HS that refuse to even dress, you might be shocked. They don't even have to participate to get a grade - just put on a pair of sneakers. Too lazy to even do that. Blows my mind.
So she wants to create an army of anorexic and bullemic teens who are pissed at their parents?
Anyway, good luck to her. But i dont think she should get a penny of taxpayer money.
I think she should shave a few pounds off of that ghetto-bootie of hers first before she starts wagging her finger at our kids.

Poorer households purchase more fattening foods because they're CHEAPER. Hell just yesterday, I paid $3.29 for a head of iceberg lettuce, half of which will go bad.
Today I bought a green pepper for $1.12 and a leek for $1.99. (that's right...I didn't take a leek...I payed for it)
For that money, I could have bought THREE 99-cent cheeseburgers at McDonalds, and had 14-cents left over.
THAT'S where the problem is. Healthy foods are too expensive.

For $3 you could have a satisfying, healthy Cream of Leak Soup.

Or, if you're on a really tight budget, you don't buy green peppers and leeks. You buy a small sweet onion and maybe half a cabbage to stew with a potato or two - healthy soup or stew or lunch for several for under $2.00. (It can be enhanced with yesterday's leftover potroast or chicken and whatever veggies the kids didn't eat then.)

I recall eating cans of creamed corn laced with tobasco, and then hitting the happyhour buffets to save money in college.

Yes, years ago we befriended a guy--Chinese citizenship from Hong Kong but living in France and going to photography school in West Virginia. He refused to eat in American restaurants because he didn't trust the food.
He brought a can of corn or beans or some such for his lunches. His breakfast and dinner he prepared himself, generally some sort of soup and rice, but quite meager by American tastes. He was healthy as a horse, and strong with incredible energy and stamina. Just because many Americans can afford to eat fancy/lavishly doesn't necessarily mean they are eating healthy.
Yes I know. And that's why free lunches at schools tend to be less healthy. It's more expensive and there's the spoil factor.
I don't think it's lack of education though. Most people know they should eat more fruits and veggies, but they just don't do it.
I pushed my son into high school sports. He's not the greatest athlete, but it's great exercise and also good for the mind. He likes it and is getting better every year.

Yep, most Asian nations have MUCH lower per capita income than the USA, and not a lot of Fatties.
