There is no starvation in the United States

I'm not just talking about McDonald's. Go to a supermarket in a poor section of town. You will notice a higher percentage of processed crap foods and much less in the way of healthy foods.

exactly what would be a level playing field? I support that as well at the child level. Every child should have the same opportunities. There should be no dicrepencies between inner city school and out city ones. Every child should be able to succeed if they want to.

all of our supermarkets are the same. An Albertson's is an Albertsons. As for the mexican markets, well I see nothing inheritantly wrong with mexican food.

pick your cliche'

I want:
equal opprotunity to succeed
the rules to apply to everyone
the system to be fair

Imagine a sport like baseball. Everyone must play by the same rules. The Umpires are like government, ensuring the rules get enforced. But what if the rules weren't fair? What if certain players were allowed to use aluminum bats and others weren't? What if some players automatically started out on base. What if some players or teams were allowed more than 3 outs? What if some teams started the game with 2 runs already?

doesn't sound fair does it?

uh, excuse me? I starve all the time! Running out of campus meal points? hello?

Don't tell me there is no starvation in US when Im starving!

Most Mexican markets are actually better, as there is much less in the way of processed food and a lot more emphasisi on veggies and fruits. Non-Tex-Mex Mexican food is very healthy.

I disagree about Albertsons. I've been to two, and they are very different. One was dirty and nasty and the other was nice and clean. Not that that has anything to do with the products they carry.

the Dominick's in Naperville isn't the same as the Dominick's on Lawrence Ave. in the city (chicago) by my grandfather's house. Supermarkets are not all the same.

yes I am starving as well.

Diets suck

But I have found the best weight loss program ever. I should patent it and make a lot of money off of it. It involves me eating less food. Sure I feel hungry a lot, but I'm used to it. It works.

hunger pain is an interesting thing. Something I have been thinking a lot about. But it isn't a bad thing. You can't go through life without pain. You can't expect people to be full all the time- that is how they get fat.

Most of those were the airline industry jobs

Are you insane?

You are confusing voluntary and involuntary starvation.

[Al B. Sure!]

yeah nobody's starving in philly... you get that poor and you get food stamps... and even if you don't, you can easily get food real cheap. a dime for a pack of ramon noodles and that **** can be a meal. or do what we did back when mcdonalds and what not had special prices for certain days (like 39 cent hamburgers on wednesday or something) and buy a whole lot then freeze them and keep them for the whole week. and if worse comes to worse, you can just water down some ketchup and have some tomato soup

so the point is, nobody's starving in the cities... maybe some mexicans in the ****ty rural barrios or some american indian people in the desert are starving but anyone in mainstream america sure as hell aint

America is larger than your little neck of the woods.

This is ironic because we live in the same city, and there are very different Albertson's in this city. There are two by where I grew up (Bonanza and Lamb, Bonanza and Nellis) that are NASTY. I live in a good part of town, and the Albertson's down the street (Silverado Ranch and Maryland Pkwy) is really really nice. To be fair, though, those other ones were old and used to be Lucky's and this one is relatively new.

But healthy food is expensive. I decided to buy only good food one week, and I spent two to three times what I usually spend.

woods? what does that mean?

but nah what the hell are you talking about? I said maybe some people in the rural ****holes are starving but no one's truly starving here in the cities... and probably the reason for starvation in rural areas is because of the lack of infrastructure preventing people from having any kind of steady work nor affordable food goods.

frankly, i find you disgusting sava... i hope i am not banned for saying this but i truly want to beat your ass. you are an evil, twisted, and hateful person who is blind in your self-assurance of your rightness and your blind hatred of all that will improve the lives of the proletariat...

HAH! This is rich!! Ming, MtG, do you guys see this?

I didn't realize I possessed this type of power... to command the will of a man, is valuable.
