I love how at the end of the NPR article, the NPR brains-falling-out-of-the-head liberals say: "Oh now they mostly live on noodles and pastas" and the "increase in starches" -- oh please give me a fucking break. Another case of this idiotic limousine liberal slant on everything at NPR. Bottom line, the got fat BEFORE their food stamps would buy less food. For all of the 20 years or so this woman was on food stamps and food was a lot cheaper, she and her brats were eating sugar and starches!!! LMAO!!! They did not grow that big overnight when all of a sudden the eeeevvvil W Bush wouldnt raise food stamp allowances to coincide with higher food prices. LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Our limo liberal in-laws have always sneered at my weight issues (and I've never been as big as those women), "white people have too much food" .. but by golly, you'll never hear them say one goddamned word about the fat hispanics or blacks. It's always the excuse of "well, the poor minority diet is all starches and pastas that's why they get so big." NPR is just like this. Look sometime for some of their "fat american" articles and segments, and you'll see a bunch of fat white southerners featured, but the "truly needy and truly poor" are almost always nowadays fat hispanic famblies, hell, they've even started to exclude the black people, who are no longer the limo liberal "favorite pets." I've never met a klansman that's more racist than the limo liberals (and we've got a couple of those kkk types in my family), and that is my personal observation.
