USDA to ban "Junk Food"

There are plenty of incentives to work rather than just stay at home all day beyond just the initial wage you get.

Ignoring the (rude) second half of your statement, I'll still ask, like what? For a person that prefers nothing more than to sit at home eating cheetos, watching TV and neglecting their kids, what possible incentive is there to work over sitting around doing nothing and getting paid for it?

This attitude is a LOT more common than you think down here in the southern US, and it's a pretty huge area to disregard. I don't even associate with people outside of my family and I would still estimate that at least 1/10 of the people I know are absolutely terrible. Luckily my immediate family is mostly unaffected, but I could tell you things that would make you throw up about a couple branches of it; ever been legitimately hit on by a 400 pound 61 year old woman that ACTUALLY DEVOURS 3 full cases of soda PER DAY, because you look like your father and she had a creepy stalker crush on him before he died? At a funeral? While she is eating a personal supply of donuts she brought for herself and no one else, covered in stickiness because she is a slob, touching you all over the place in a way that is just short of molestation?

Even if the job market wasn't so ridiculously bad here, it wouldn't matter, it was like this before the recession hit, and will be like this tomorrow.
