Nurse Tootie McBride: "This is your Good Morning Ghetto Diet and Health segment. With me in the Hook-A-Meal-Up Kitchen is Chef Fat Meat, the Emeril Lagasse of the 'hood. Chef, before we proceed, I want to know your opinion regarding disgruntled American taxpayers across the nation having Tea Bag Parties."

Chef Fat Meat: "In my humble opinion, I see nothing wrong with folk expressing their anger and disappointment regarding taxation. It looks like the proverbial shoe is on the other foot. Things done in the past have shaped the future. Now individuals who earn more than $250 million are experiencing what many poor and working-class people experienced for many years. And that's all I have to say about that."

Nurse Tootie: "Now that is heavy, very heavy. So what's cookin' in the kitchen?"

Chef Fat Meat: "Nothing but leftover food. I want to show financially challenged people how to stretch their food supply despite the proposed tax breaks. In my "Poor People's Diet Book," I provide helpful tips about how you can make Sunday dinners into convenient Monday through Friday meals, or take-out lunch into take-home supper."

Nurse Tootie: "I see. You're showing people how to be more resourceful during the recession."

Chef Fat Meat: "Yep. Despite tax breaks for common people, the corporate sector might try to get that tax break money back through price gouging tactics."

Nurse Tootie: "The Tea Bag Party people need to know about this!"
