Obama, welfare & obesity: ( Archived) (53)

blue_eyed_blonde: "The statistics spell out the dilemma. The number of Americans on food stamps topped 31.5 million in September, a record high. Obesity, too, is at epidemic levels: In 30 states, at least 25 percent of the population is dangerously overweight. Nationally, 31.9 percent of children are considered overweight or obese.

For decades, the government has treated hunger and obesity as unrelated phenomena. But at a recent news conference in Chicago, Tom Vilsack, President-elect Barack Obama's choice for agriculture secretary, said that he would put "nutrition at the center of all food assistance programs," a signal that he will get involved next year when Congress moves to reauthorize nutrition programs that support school breakfasts and lunches and summer food for children."this among many articles I have read and none lay claim to reducing food stamps for obese women. Moreso, they talk of obesity in regards to the general public, not discrimmating against only women. And in even more articles it talks of farmers markets to increase a healthy choice of food for lower income families...(not just women), also they go into more detail about healthier food in the school food programs...anyways, this is getting to be quite boring as you cant come up with direct and valid proof of your "sources"

Your information is inaccurate and just plain false. But say whatever it takes to justify it in your head..
