You go to the store and survive on three bucks a day and not look like a blimp as you eat nasty carbs and very little fresh fruit and protein.........the abuse is out there, but the vast majority of folks are just getting by and made to feel bad about their survival...........I have lived in a culture where people go to bed hungry......I went from 210 to 170 in five months and had to give up......we Americans have become soft, and we are damn lucky to have a food stamp program, and we need to prosecute the abusers, but have compassion for those who have no choice. Hungry......real hunger....there is no reason anybody in America has to go to bed hungry, but can we improve the system.....you bet we can.....but not by demeaning those who legitimately are in need, or by allowing people to cheat.

Yep......I am getting really tired of oatmeal with this damn disease. I have found a pleasant surprise. Go to Mac and order their $1.99 oatmeal. The fresh fruit they put in is very good and the flavoring is as good as I have tasted. My hormones attack my large intestine, so oatmeal is soothing and tolerable......but after so many days.......it is really.....really painful to swallow.
