Re: How much to feed a family???
I remember a few years back standing in line behind a lady whose cart was loaded to the gills and overflowing w/steaks and many convenience foods as she whipped out the old foodstamps and my son asking me how come that lady has so much food, Mom? I remember being first mortified at the greed she had and then angered beyond belief that my spouse works so hard for his money and to pay our taxes and to have able bodied folks just living off the fat and me w/my meager basket of beans and rice and trying to figure out how to pay for it. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
I do not mind helping people at all - have started more than one food pantry at churches and want kids to have plenty to eat, but this was utterly ridiculous.
And btw, where's my Dad's 1000.00 debit card???? He's in an ice storm that has shut his and the outlying towns completely down - I don't see him up on the roof waiting for somebody to come save him nor do I see them toting trailers into town for them to live in nor do I see any buses coming to pack them out of the devastation. Not that he would take any of those things, but geewhilikers batman!!
Somehow folks we are sadly off kilter here in this fine nation of ours.
