The rising cost of food means their money gets them about a third fewer bags of groceries — $100 used to buy about 12 bags of groceries, but now it's more like seven or eight. So they cut back on expensive items like meat, and they don't buy extras like ice cream anymore. Instead, they eat a lot of starches like potatoes and noodles.

Now I'm all for food stamps and social security for people who can't work but subsidizing these two bloated land manatees is a bit much. I wonder if the government should sponsor more nutrition and weight loss for such people instead of paying for them to become more overweight.
