Excellent deal that you have done.
I think the biggest thing we can do to make the world a better place is to
realize that we all have strengths that others don't.
They will be different strengths because we are all different.

Once you realize that, I believe the very best thing that you can do is to
live by the old saying.
Feed a man a fish and he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.

No offense taken. I think none of us has the answer to why poor people are
the way they are. I feel blessed everyday to be in the position I'm in. If I
lost it all, though, I think I woul somehow figure out a way to make it. In
the meantime, I try to help others when I can. I think the three cars I gave
away to people who were struggling, this past year, would qualify. I think
giving comes back to you - tenfold.

I was working 2 jobs, and going to college, so I didn't have time to work
out.  Luckily, I didn't have a car, and had to ride a bike, everywhere.
Come to think of it, most of the weight gain was in the last year, when I
got down to 1 job, driving a taxi.  I'd be on call all hours (outside of
class), so whenever I had extra time  - I slept!

Absolutely, you can do some juggling, and eat somewhat healthier, but you
need food education, and your options are limited if you are poorer. 

I just get sick and tired of the "if they're poor, it's because they're lazy
and stupid, so it's their own fault."  (I'm not accusing you of saying
that.)  Sometimes it is, but having been there, I know a lot of times it's
not.
