This made me cry. Everyone should see this.

I hate the teapublicans

1. The little girl with a box of ritz

I only watched 2 minutes but will watch the whole thing. I found it weird that they are talking about hunger in America with the girl eating crackers out of a Ritz box outside. Kinda could have at least had the little girl wait until after the camera was rolling before they spoke to her. I mean she was literally talking about not having enough food while she is eating crackers out of a box of Ritz. I wish I produced this. I would have taken that box of Ritz crackers out of the movie.

2. ritz crackers was all she had

maybe the were stale from a food bank Ritz aren't exactly nutritional either

[yeoman6987]

3. Still does not help the cause

It is about starvation in America. It doesn't do the cause any good with that video. You can say that it is this or that but if you are trying to sell the message then you need to ensure that the message is accurate.

4. That sounds like a right wing point of view.

You may be right. Some people may remark on that and think "See? There's no hunger in America. They have Ritz crackers!" but they are people who would deny them aid regardless of how many crackers they may or may not have.

Ritz crackers are pretty much devoid of nutrition, by the way. But they're cheap, and they travel well.

5. Fine

Using the rw card is low. A lot of people wh don't have anything worthwhile to say use that.

[bitchkitty]

7. I did not say YOU were right wing.

I said that it would be a right wing point of view, meaning people who would think that way are right wing, not that your point of view, that people would take it that way, was right wing. See the difference?

Sorry - I don't think you're right wing and didn't mean to imply it. In my defense, it's 4:00 am in Oregon right now...

19. Thanks for the video. It shows that the poor get poor nutrition, and the bottom of the bucket of

every thing in every walk of life. Crackers are sugar. Lots of sugar uses up the insulin in the pancreas leading to Adult On-Set Type Two Diabetes. A lot a added sugar and disaccharides sugars were added to foods in the 1970s; now there is an explosion in known population such as the trackable data of Vietnam Era Veterans. Children should be getting protein and the other nutrients, not only moncarbohydrate sugars found in foods made with white flour-most-most crackers.

Right Wingers had a fit when Michele Obama began to rid the schools of sugary foods in the first Obama Administration. RW wants no health care for pooring 50% of Americans. They enjoy seeing people suffer and are looking forward to the death panel of diabetes. Their hate is the outstanding results, that the video you posted, shows us. Thank you again.

20. thank you for watching it

[HangOnKids]

11. The cause? The CAUSE?

Nobody is selling anything here, they are telling a true story of poverty. Exactly what are you SELLING here?

[HangOnKids]

12. Good thing you are not a producer

The eating Ritz crackers out of a box proved a powerful point. Lost on you, because by GWAD she was eating something and that means she isn't hungry. For fuck sake. THE FUCKING CRACKERS ARE THE POINT.

[Scruffy Rumbler]

13. Really?

A child has the audacity to claim she is hungry as she finally gets to eat something that passes as food in our country. I guess with that reasoning, people shouldn't talk about the lack of healthcare as they say it while standing and breathing?

"I mean she was literally talking about not having enough food while she is eating crackers out of a box of Ritz. I wish I produced this. I would have taken that box of Ritz crackers out of her hands." Fixed it for ya....

6. Depressing

I only had time to watch about 20 minutes, but I got the point. I wonder if you showed this to one of the Koch partasites, if they'd get the point? I think it would be fascinating to make a 1%er watch this and see how (and if) they reacted to it.

[Pharaoh]

10. ha!

no the would not give a fuck! In fact they might say. She has a box of ritz crackers see, shes not hungry, just looking for more free hand outs and more fucking ritz crackers, she is a lazy slacker...........really it's how those fuckers think. they have no remorse and they don't have hearts.

[Theyletmeeatcake2]

8. The system is obscene when it makes kids worry about food and shelter....

It does make me sad to think that these poor(literally ) kids have sweet FA chance of crawling out of their situation . Rw dirtbags will say that it's up to them but for fucks sake how hard should it be.... Do the children of the 1 % have any idea of what it is in this other world caused by their parents greed...frustrating when you see kid's hopes reduced from changing the world to simply getting a paying job that might cover living expenses...all those people that criticise other countries like venezuala should look in their own fricken backyards first... This is the result of trickle down economics pure and simple ....

[Pharaoh]

9. kickin for later

[magical thyme]

14. the crackers were barely noticeable, and the timing made it seem like they came from the food bank

they made it clear, they don't get to pick and choose how they eat.

I worry most about their dogs. 1 pit cross and 1 possible pit cross. They will probably die.

I know I could never have moved back in with my mother (who was extremely abusive physically, emotionally and mentally), but I do wonder why they don't move in together. That would create great savings right there.

[ffr]

15. Damn we're so hungry we could just jump through our TV

and eat the things they're showing on the food network.

You mean on pay-for cable or satellite television, that Food Network? I've always looked at television as a luxury. I grew up in a middle class family with one television and our mother cut our hair too. If it became a choice between the cable bill or another loaf of bread on the table, the cable TV was getting cut. No question about it.

But what's with the damnation of President Obama because he cannot create enough jobs? He's not a dictator as those on the right would have you believe. The damnation should be focused where it belongs, on the people saying NO to jobs bills. And while your figuring that out, fill out your voter registration form, get educated on candidates that will represent you and your interests and vote. Vote in every election and get other like-minded people to vote as well. And if the people or party you elect don't represent, you can only blame yourself if the next time you vote for them again.

16. They were living a Motel

Free Cable edit to add many homeless shelters have common rooms with cable TV

[ffr]

17. Strange looking motel,

4:06 - 4:24m

18. ok so because they may have had cable
