I was actually talking the percentage of homeless being teens not the homeless rate.

It's a nice story and all.  The picture was weird... why are so many people in the picture overweight?  I would think homeless teens and those that work with them would be... I don't know a bit thinner.

 

LOL I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

 

Seems like 99% of the people in that photo are significantly overweight, especially the woman in the red shirt on the far left.

Hunger in the west is pretty poorly understood by many.

 

Actually people don't have secure access to food are more likely to be overweight, because when they do eat they usually end up bing eating on the cheapest source of calories they can get their hands on.

 

The cheapest source of calories is usually very unhealthy processed foods, not fresh fruits and veggies which have very few calories but are good for you.  

 

They arn't really in danger of starving to death.  They are in danger of health problems due to poor nutrition.  They also will have days where they will have to without supper and go to bed hungry or something like that. . . which I believe makes the problem even worse because when they do get their hands on the cheap calories they binge eat.

Just want to bring your attention to the post above.  Hunger in the west the concern isn't really that they might starve to death.  The concern is discomfort due to hunger causing other problems (kids who go to bed hungry do worse at school then kids who have a full belly.) and the cheapest source of calories being stuff that really isn't good for you.  

 

Imagine if you could only eat supper 4 days a week, but when you did eat supper the only things you could eat are like frozen pizza and potato chips.  The fact that you skipped 3 meals a week would not make up for the fact that your diet is extremely poor and it would cause you to be overweight.

 

The fact that nearly all of them are overweight is not at all surprising.

Definitely good points.

What a great cause for Mr Kerr to get behind. No kid should be hungry or homeless.

 

I have worked with a few food banks in Illinois and Indiana.

Believe it or not, the one thing that they cant get enough of is canned fruit. Must canned goods they get are veggies( which is important) but I've always been told canned fruit or fresh is what is needed most.

Keeping a 300 pound body at 300 pounds requires a lot of calories.

They may be hungry...but hunger isn't a problem for them. Nutrition...maybe...but not hunger.

Describing it as a hunger problem creates victimhood that simply isn't there. Gives the impression they are starving, when they are not.

They go to bed hungry because they are 300 pounds and haven't had anything to eat in the past 90 minutes...of course they're hungry...but that's not really a problem.

    • Gus’s problem is that he rarely blitzes a qb and relies too much on the front 4 to put the pressure on the qb! Every qb has basically smoked a cigarette and taken a nap before a Colts defender can even breathe on them! Im not saying to blitz every play, just mix it up enough to get in the qbs head! Open gaps for lbs to get through, especially in the middle against slower pocket passing qbs. Gus has been around too long and will be too stubborn to change though!😒
    • Besides the Pacers shooting yesterday, what really stood out to me was they didn't wilt in the big moment of playing in a Game 7 at NY - that shows Mental toughness. Haliburton was playing like it was a just another regular season game and just doing his thing. Also, the Pacers weren't getting bullied inside, Turner and Pascal did the bullying for a change. They are finesse players that usually just care about scoring mostly but yesterday they were banging down low and played really aggressive. 
    • Yeah, Cus Bradley yes I said Cus I'm not a fan of his scheme if you want to call it that. So it doesn't matter who we have in the secondary it won't help. We could bring back these players in their youth again like Dion Sanders and Darrel Green and it wouldn't matter in my mind. I don't know why we hold on to a DC who has been 28 in total defense for two years. Bring in a DC with an innovative smart scheme that would confuse offenses. But what we have now is a defense that a JR high team could figure out. So yes the defense is a huge concern. We are going to have out-score teams which means our offense can make very little mistakes. 
    • Besides Shaq and Barkley, I forgot that Shannon Sharpe took the Pacers as well in this series. He is just rubbing it in towards Stephen A and Big Perk. He even said, come to Indy baby where they have a great team and great food, because NY is sitting at home now 
    • ...and Rick Carlisle has shown he can coach, no matter the team. Maybe he can replicate the Dallas Mavericks success with us and get us that elusive NBA championship!!!
