Obese residents (and hyperventilating liberal media) continue to caterwall about $1/day cut in cupcake freebee---Families in need find empty shelves at area food pantries

Families in need find empty shelves at area food pantries | Detroit Free Press | freep.com:
"On Nov. 1, temporary SNAP benefits — which got a boost during the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — were cut by $5 billion, said Ross Fraser, spokesman with Feeding America.
In Michigan, more than $180 million was cut, and in Wayne County alone, reductions are nearly $55 million, Gold said.
That translates into a loss of $36 a month for a family of four, which could be a week’s worth of meals. (or half of one Nike shoe!)
“We are deeply, deeply concerned about this,” Fraser said. “We just can’t meet this need.”"
