That not a fair picture. i work for my food, and I also work to pay
taxes to [pay for welfare, food stamps, health care, and housing for
all asorts of people who *don't* work.

I pay 56X more for everybody else's health insurance than I do for
*my own* health insurance. I'll eat that extra goddamn pot pie if I
want to, before some homeless immigrant and the Government comes
knock out at my door and confiscates my refrigerator.

This is just ion tha last 2 years. I doubt the figures for caloric
intake are accurate, or that up date.

Besides, fatter, unhealthy food is cheap. It's the healthy food
that is expensive.

Comparing caloric intake to median income is not any indication of
anything.
