1 in 6 Americans are hungry!

[grizz441]

I'm not a Liberal, but let me pretend to be one for a minute:

Let's see, If 1 in 6 are hungry, and there are roughly 3 mil in the US,

3 million give or take 304 million-ish.

you wanna talk weight issues?

i'm 6'2, and weigh 160. i take a 31" or 32" waist pants, with 36" inseam. do you know how hard it is to find a pair of dress slacks(for my cap corporate uniform) in that size?

I weigh the same except am 6' 4" I feel your pain.

So why can't you get a dress uniform?  You seem to be an average man of your age.

because whereas 20 years ago, 31x36 dress slacks were the norm.....it isn't anymore.

 i have dress blues, and bdu's, and flightsuits all plenty long enough.  they were no problem to find....i wanted a pair of grey dress slacks for the corporate uniform.

Let's see, If 1 in 6 are hungry, and there are roughly 3 mil in the US, then there are roughly 1/2 million hungry people in the US. The US shells out roughly $45 Billion (with a "B") in foreign aid to countries that mostly hate us.  That's roughly $9K for every hungry person in the US.  $9K is roughly my family's food budget for 18 months.  So, how could we solve this problem?

shush you!!

A liberal would probably take a shot at the ~$600 Billion (with a B) defense budget

i just ate a half of a pizza. 

I just made and ate Chicken and rice in the slow cooker. Low fat, low sodium, high protein. Then it is delicious!

I hate myself hehe. I've had to learn and be scolded about sodium. So I've come to the conclusion that I have to do the cooking from scratch and stay as far as away from canned goods as possible, especially soups.

I wonder what they define "Struggles with Hunger" as?

I think it means the struggle they have in their mind when they're hungry... "should I go down and get burgers or call for a pizza?"

I'm 6'4" also, and was about 180 pounds at my heaviest, until I fell 25' while working and shattered my right leg just below the hip.  I was in the hospital for two weeks, then I lived in a hospital bed in my living room for another 9 months.  I went from, as the ER doc described me on my admittance report, a slightly under weight white male to 260 pounds (80 pounds heavier) insider of a year.  I'm down to about 225 pounds now, but find losing the weight very very difficult since my injuries prevent me from doing anything but low/no impact excercises.
