We can find enough excuses to never do what's right...

No one is saying that it's going to be as easy for everyone to eat right and not waste money, but it can be done.

And further, we were specifically arguing over the example family in the video - Stephen Jun 7, 14:46 9
- I didn't see the video. I'm just troubled by the apparent lack of compassion here. -- nm - loosilu Jun 7, 14:47 8
  - Expecting people to act responsibily does not mean that one does not have compassion. -- nm - Stephen Jun 7, 14:53 3
    - I think you have a very stringent definition of "responsible" that leaves no room for any degree of weakness. - loosilu Jun 7, 14:55 2
      - Please!!! Watch the video clip. Those people are being stupid. -- nm - Redmond Jun 7, 15:37
      - Getting back to the example family from the last board, if you're eating fast food 3X a day that's not just a "degree" of weakness - Stephen Jun 7, 15:28
  - I have compassion for people that want to pitch in to help themselves. I will hand out food stamps, but maybe you have to hop on a bus and go to the - Redmond Jun 7, 14:50 3
    - Again, consider the time element. Full time job (9 hours), maybe 2 hours transit (round trip, not each way) - TWuG Jun 7, 14:56 1
      - and if you're that poor, you very often have two jobs, or more. -- nm - loosilu Jun 7, 14:57
    - say you're an old lady with a walker. -- nm - loosilu Jun 7, 14:53
What I'm saying is, try to understand the sitaution before you criticize so harshly. -- nm - loosilu Jun 7, 14:43
