Of course it hasn''t occured to anyone, these people might have children to feed.

First of all, it isn''t anybody''s business how much these people weigh. These people are not standing in line because they ate too much and need more. They are standing in line because the factories are closing and other businesses are closing, and gas and milk both cost $4 a gallon. I don''t care how much you weigh, it is not healthy to go without food. I pray that those of you who are fixated on the weight issue never find yourself in need because you will be judged just as much as you are judging right now.

To rleary1234: read the article. It doesn''t say anything about people giving up cell phones is just says phones. Many of these people have to shut off their home phones to buy food.

Can you imagine what some other countrys are thinking when they see the caption on this article then see the picture. They probably wonder what the problem is.

To those of you saying the poor can''t afford healthy food....a one pound bag of frozen vegetables costs $1.00 or less depending on where you shop. That seems healthy yet fairly cheap to me.

I saw this last night and it struck me how OBESE the ones -getting- the food were compared to those who were handing out the food. I thought that was where the real story was but unfortunately it is too taboo to ask one of the obese people in line if they thought maybe there was a correlation.

In any case, more work(outs), less handouts seems like a good thing all the way around.
