I get irritated every time I am at the grocery store because the person in front of me almost always pays with food stamps.
There is always plenty of junk food being purchased.
They are almost always obese.
Occasionally they are playing Angry Birds on their iPhone while waiting for everything to be scanned (such as last nights $230 worth of groceries I indirectly bought for the woman in front of me)
Sometimes you will see food drives and infomercials saying that hunger is an epidemic in America but when is the last time you have seen a bone-skinny person walking around begging for food.
Americas definition of starving is:
1) Failing to consume 3000 calories per day
2) Failing to afford to go out to eat after paying for lots of things that are not necessities.
During my college years my wife and I qualified for all sorts of government assistance such as food stamps, mortgage interest rate reduction, reduction in heating bill, state insurance and so forth and we took NONE of these things because we didn't need them! We never had cable, or internet, iPhones, new cars (mostly had 1 car which was fine), or a flat screen TV, but we always paid for our own groceries, our own mortgage, our own health insurance, and were able to even plan and save for 1.5 years so that we could pay cash for our first child to be born instead of letting taxpayers pick up the tab like so many people do. "If you can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em"
