We don't have a poor, starving population. What we really have is a society full of complete morons having children. I think I'd rather have the former. It's much easier to cure.

So the one little boy is saying he is not being fed, hungry... and his mother is pregnant.
Thats not good.
Did you ever see a chubby Ethiopian?
No, but alot of the people here in the States on assistance are chubby.
I've noticed that... Could it be that public assistance food sticks more to your ribs than other food?

Cheaper food is usually less healthy and contains more fats, thats why if you go down to the homeless shelter 80% of the people there have pot bellies.

But they are far from starving.

And ...that is the problem. If you cant afford to feed your children... you have no business having them. And if you are in the position of not being able to feed the ones you have, you have no business having more.
Though having more will get you a bigger check.

In 1992, Ireland ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, pledging to make childrens rights real and to ensure that every child has the right to experience a childhood free from poverty and deprivation.
In 2000, the National Childrens Strategy made a commitment to provide the financial
resources necessary to end child poverty.
In 2002, the National Anti-Poverty Strategy pledged to reduce the number of children
experiencing consistent poverty to 2% and, if possible, to eliminate child poverty by 2007.
In 2007, having failed to meet this aim, the pledge was re-packaged, repeated, and the end date pushed out to 2016.
The most recent figures show that nearly 9% of children or one in every eleven children are living in consistent poverty, and that the proportion is rising.

"I have 11euros to keep us going until next week. We dont have money to put food on the table, cant afford beds for the younger children, the washing machine has
broken down and we are in arrears with both the ESB and Bord Gáis."
PS...I can feed my family of 4 easily on $400 a month.
The max food stamp allotment for a family of four = $668.
More Americans said they struggled to buy food in 2011 than in any year since the financial crisis, according to a recent report from the Food Research and Action Center, a nonprofit research group. About 18.6 percent of people -- almost one out of every five -- told Gallup pollsters that they couldn't always afford to feed everyone in their family in 2011.
Forty-six million people lived below the poverty line as of 2010, a record number, according to the Census Bureau, and one that's not even as high as some other estimates would have it. Take a further step back and the situation appears even more dire. About 45 percent of people in the U.S. have reported not being able to cover their basic living expenses, including food, shelter and transportation, according to the group Wider Opportunities for Women. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/28/afford-food-hunger_n_1308020.html
