  Super duper sad, but I think a misrepresentation of those people overall.  First, there are people like that everywhere I think (I mean, its great they did that story and I realllly hope it helps those people, but here in the Memphis area a mama who watered down her baby's formula to make it last longer and the baby died!), and second - there are people who do well and make a great living for themselves in those areas as well and I wish they would've documented a bit of that.  (My family is primarily from right around those hills they were documenting).

   I really hope those kids get help, especially the ones with drug addicted parents and that teenage boy who went to college on the scholarship and couldn't afford it. So sad.

  The thing that got me was... If you can't afford milk, how can you afford soda?

  I didn't see it, but that is so sad. ?I can't fathom putting soda in baby bottles...although it does at least have calories, which water doesn't. ?So if they were trying to "feed" the baby on that, then it makes really sad sense...

  That's what I said.  My DH set out to prove that gallon for gallon, soda is much cheaper.
  I said that we're on a bigtime budget, and one of the things we DON'T buy is soda because we don't NEED it.  But obviously my priorities are much different.  We buy organic things on a budget, lol.
