> in New Orleans, 35% of kids don’t have enough calories per days to have a proper brain development

Source? I find that hard to believe, considering how cheap and plentiful calories are and how numerous the various public assistance programs exist relating to feeding the poor.

I know it’s intense. Those people must be stupid. Or it’s their fault and they deserve it. ( :s ! )

My bad for the figure, I had a third in mind. It’s less. Can’t find a general population figure in the short amount of time. 20 ish % of black kids is enough or it’s fine ?

Oh well, right ?
