Why do most people wait until they're 75 or later to retire and spend more time with "the" family?? Does that tell you anything? The average person thinks their family is "off their rocker" and hates spending too much time with them!

Dear Mr. Gibson
Let me start by saying that I have never in my 41 years commented on any news report I have seen. Wheather I have agreed or disagreed I believe we all have our ideas and we can digest what we are given and come up with our own answers. But tonight (Sept 30 2008) I caught the final moments of your broadcast.
Family Food Values Affordable comfort food brands are selling like hot cakes.
and I have only one question? Are you and your coworkes at ABC news so completely cut off from main street America that you honestly believe that people buy the cheap, high fat, high sugar, low vitamin, sad subsstite for a real meal ... because it's COMFORTING????
It must be a very long time since you or anyone of your writers had the choice between a porter house steak or a weeks worth of groceries. Do any of you in that big bubble you call a news station have any idea what is going on out here?? Open you eyes and stop feeding the people these sickeningly sweet spinned up stories ... that's what the little Debbies are for (

How about two sides of the comfort food coin, since here in the U.S. we are the melting pot of world-wide cuisines: First, turkey and dressing, the classic with warm gravy and tart, whole berry cranberry sauce. And on the other side of craving, dig in coin: a Vietnamese noodle bowl with mixed vegetables, mixed meats and that spicy red sauce with the rooster on the bottle. Wow.

I have to feed a family of six, including four teenagers, from paycheck to paycheck. I am not choosing comfort food, rather enough to get us by for two weeks at a time. This means that instead of meat every night, we eat lots of macaroni and cheese and pancakes. So as the price of everything goes up, the amount of macaroni in our house goes up.
