Why can't we afford food anymore? What kind of food is good for you? Milk, juice, vegetables, some types of meat, which even ground meat is getting really expensive to buy now, and full of grease, which is not good for you, much less any of the other food that is supposed to keep you healthy! Potatoes here in Louisiana have really gotten ridiculous. Can't afford to buy them either!

Fruit juice is way too expensive for me to buy on my budget. Milk, nope, can't afford to buy it either, so I just skip milk, even though I love it.

Lot's of folks are health concious these days, but have you ever thought about the folks that really can't afford to eat that way, that some folks turn down their noses at because of the way they eat?

Okay, food stamps.....for people who can't afford to buy food that they really need, food stamps are available, but.....the income level that the food stamp office usually requires for you to NOT have, is way too high for most folks to even qualify!

How are we supposed to feed our children? Even just something to fill them up, not to mention how we are supposed to be able to buy food that is good for them, or for you! I know lot's of Mother's that go hungry, just so their kids can have a little something to eat!

Okay, I'm sure, we have all seen lot's of people on the side of the road holding up signs, saying they are hungry, and will work for food. (Or at least we do here in Louisiana, maybe not in your part of the world) How do weed out the ones that are really hungry, and the ones that are lazy and just don't want to do a darn thing to help themselves? Lot's of folks are down on their luck, and they are forced to do such things to just put food on the table, but there are lot's of scam artists out there too. These people should be ashamed of themselves! They are making us turn a blind eye to the ones who really need help in buying food.

I had a friend of mine, that worked in a home cleaning business, she saw a woman on the side of the road, holding up a sign stating that she would work for food. Well, it so happened that they were really short that day, and could have used the extra help. They stopped and told the woman that she could come work for a days wages. Guess what she said? She said that she could not leave because she would lose her corner, but could they donate to her????? Well, my friend told her NO!!!! Which I totally agree with!

This post is not to offend anyone, I really would like your comments on this post. What are your views on this article? What would you have done if that woman said she would work for food, and then said she couldn't leave her corner!!!!!

Just my two cents on people that can't afford food, much less buy foods that are good for you!
