A congressional proposal to eliminate nutrition programs raises an outcry. For obscuring the actual increases in federal nutrition spending under anti-conservative hype, Time earned the Janet Cooke Award. But not since the notorious condiment incident of 1981, when the Reagan administration attempted to reclassify catsup and pickles as vegetables, has this aid been in such jeopardy. For maximum effect, Time highlighted Obey's quote in large letters under a picture of two school girls eating.
Conservatives contend that free food has done little to solve the problems plaguing the nation.
You see strong young men who are a danger to themselves and their community. Time failed to note that Brown's Tufts center has estimated the number of hungry American children at 12 million, twice as high as previous liberal activist estimates, citing as a source the Census Bureau, which has completed no studies of hunger in America. They didn't cut anything. Time is part of that Washington abuse of the language that perpetually confuses the voters. They are extraordinarily inefficient in their targeting.
