=The Haves Vs. The Have Nots = 

When helping the homeless, people want to help but have the "not in my backyard" idea

According to the Inspiration Corporation: 25% of homeless people have a mental illness 30% have substance abuse 

"Learnin' it all the time, ever' day. If you're in trouble or hurt or need-go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help- the only ones." - Ma Joad in the Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck 

The 3 major causes of homelessness are 1. Mental illnesses 2. Loss of employment 3. Being released form prison, mental health facility, hospital etc. with no place to go

does obesity/malnutrition connect to low income families?

"We look at the children and decide that we can save but a few of them; that many of them must become criminals, many of them a burden upon society; that many of them will enhance vice, and put barriers in the way of our political institutions. We must know that we can save every child." -Colonel Parker, Talks on Pedagogics

 The lives of wealthy and poor differ greatly

"We are the people of this generation, bred in at least modest comfort, housed now in universities, looking uncomfortably to the world we inherit." -Tom Hayden, The Port Huron Statement
