I grew up in South America and we ate beans every day at our main meal at noon, but we also ate other things with the beans. We had sweet rolls and coffee for breakfast and we had tea in the evening with toast and jam and other food like fruit and cookies instead of dinner. No one should be expected to have to eat just beans and rice and only once a day, not in America. I hope your circumstances will improve and the circumstances of everyone else in your boat. I really do, and jerks like Sean Hannity deserve to disappear from the scene permanently. Bringing back that 90% progressive tax on the likes of him to pay for programs to create jobs and put social programs back in place where they were in the sixties looks better and better to me all the time.

So you are only supposed to eat only one meal a day? Cleita Apr 2012 #1
