Re: it is NO DIFFERENT than any of our other cities in the US Ohio has a population of 11.6 million. Here's what 60 minutes II recently reported about Ohio But since 1999, the number of people getting emergency food aid in Ohio alone has grown from 2 million to 4.5 million. There are a lot of reasons: housing and medical costs are up. Unemployment is up, and many jobs that are available are minimum wage. That's 39% of all the people in Ohio if 60 minutes II is correct. BTW, 1 in 12 Ohio homeowners are behind on their mortgages or in the process of being foreclosed. Message 18430542

There's no shortage of food in this country. 70% of adults in this country are overweight, 30% are OBESE! Just because people show up for free food doesn't mean they need it. There's no reason whatsoever for anyone to go hungry. I guess there were no hungry people when Clinton was president. Maybe we should tax fat people more than thin people? I live in New Orleans, no shortage of food here. Nobody is ever turned away from shelters here.
