oh, let me guess. more of the 'how poor are our poor when they're fat'? yes, because we all know fat people are eating a nutritious diet.

Based on poor individual menu choices evidenced by the price of oranges compared to candy bars.

Since we're paying to feed them, Dr. them and everything else how easy would it be to take the simple step and more control their food choices?

Oranges at an average price of 1.40/lb. with 3 oranges per pound comes out to 47 cents per orange. Average price of a candy bar is 75 cents so in reality you can buy 16 oranges for the same price as 10 candy bars.

Thanks for the input and support.
