Fat Poor People...

You would think that would be an oxymoron, but while advocating for the Child Nutrition Bill, Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman, Barbara Lee, stated that the bill would fight the twin problems of poverty and childhood obesity. Presumably these two factors describe the same set of people... If our poor people are obese, maybe they don't need more money for food...

Calories are cheap (and subsidized on the growing end, at that). Nutrition is not.
