More about poverty

I want to add after watching the ABC clip I do not blame the parents or a Mountain Dew company for damage done. As it says, parents were once children growing in poverty too. Soda companies wrote back to ABC saying how could anyone blame them with what an adult is filling their childs sippy cup with? I don't think the soda companies should be blamed. Why are food stamps being used for soda?? I realize they say less healthy food is cheaper but that is not ALWAYS true. I'd rather give my children water or lemonade even than soda. I also wish the adults who aren't doing anything tried to maybe get a farm going if they could. I know it might sound out there but if they could get their hands on farm animals that would solve their food problem I think. Then they would be doing something with their day and helping their children at the same time. Just a though, obviously people with zero income could do that though.
