[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people shopping at Walmart and eating fast food are probably not the poorest or the poor, they at least have $ to spend, I'm pretty sure if you are truly poor you would forgo the q-tips so you can buy food 
I have family that is poor, they get a lot of food from a church near them (they wont accept it form us) and they get their clothes at the salvation army 
One thing I have noticed is that [b]they do NOT drink water, ever. Which confuses me since it's almost free, but the entire family will only drink soda[/b][/quote]

That is so odd.  We are poor and we ONLY drink water, orange juice or milk.  I drink coffee at work once a week, but it's free.  DD is allowed to have juice at birthday parties she's invited to, and root beer on HER birthday but I would never waste the money on soda, especially because that to me, also means spending more money at the dentist.[/quote]

Do they have Mountain Dew mouth? I heard that many poor mountain kids in WVa have what dentists call MDM--lots of cavities from drinking too much MD.[/quote]
