Really? "No Kid Hungry" Isn't it true that in America our poorest are not only malnourished but also the highest obesity rates?

Seriously,  "No Kid Hungry Campaign" are your partners* just hungry to get on our children's breakfast plates and make higher profits at the risk of our children's health?  According to a recent study,  there is a connection between poverty and obesity.  

How sad but true,  many of America's poorest are not only malnourished but also experience our highest obesity rates and the host of health problems related to it including diabetes.   (And it's not because of laziness. . . check out the movie FedUp if you're interested in the discussion on lack of exercise as the reason.)

Water can not be offered as a beverage "choice"
Because there's "no nutritional value in water"
*Here's a partial list of No Kid Hungry Partners:
Domino sugar
Shake Shake
Denny's
Tyson
Kelloggs
Hickory Farms
Kraft Philadelphia
Jimmy Dean

According to Food Action and Research Action Center "supporters":  the relationship between obesity rates and the poor are declining.  Check out the partial list of their "supporters":
Coca-Cola Company
ConAgra Foods Foundation
Dr. Pepper Snapple Group
E S Foods/got breakfast? Foundation
General Mills Foundation
Kraft Foods Foundation
Kellogg Company


and both lists go on and on . . .

Anyone else feel like we're being duped?  America (and her children) have never been fatter or sicker and it's so strange. . . .we can't seem to figure out why.
