But yet the government wonders why obesity is so prevalent among low income families.....<BR/>unreal.<BR/><BR/>hugs,<BR/>KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07117434360593574401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12799282.post-1125971167774298782005-09-05T21:46:00.000-04:002005-09-05T21:46:00.000-04:00oh, thank you! how very very true. i've bought fo...oh, thank you! how very very true. i've bought food for women and children moving from the shelters into their own apts. it's not the easiest thing to do to get healthy (and good tasting food) for a few dollars.christine mtmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250140239270398550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12799282.post-1125867895140936252005-09-04T17:04:00.000-04:002005-09-04T17:04:00.000-04:00You brought up such a good point about how healthy...You brought up such a good point about how healthy food is expensive, and unhealthy food is cheap. It costs money to eat healthy, and be healthy. It's so messed up that it's like that. I wish that the assistance programs would give some kind of voutures for healthy food, or reduced prices or <I>something</I>. I don't know how it all works, but it just seems like in a country where we have what's referred to as an epidemic of diabetes caused by being overweight, and its occuring in large numbers amoung the poor, something should change. It can't come from the poor, because given the choice between quantity and quality, they HAVE to choose quantity, to feed their families.SassyFemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825555906386002414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12799282.post-1125864385728416442005-09-04T16:06:00.000-04:002005-09-04T16:06:00.000-04:00Well said Cracker.

Living here in So Cal, I too have many that are good for the climate. <BR/><BR/>I would love to get the address where you are sending them. We sent kids clothes to my step daughter in Houston. But, I have not heard where I can send large sizes and I have everything from 18 to 24. And purging is my middle name right now!<BR/><BR/>Nice post!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07821132616271533261noreply@blogger.com
