“A large family featured on CNN discussing the rising costs of basic groceries like milk was mocked by some progressive media figures on Thursday.”<\/a><\/p>\n

“To demonstrate the ‘squeeze’ of inflation and supply chain issues on everyday Americans, CNN’s ‘New Day’ featured the Stotlers, a Texas couple looking after nine children \u2013 two of whom are their biological kids, while they’ve adopted six more and have one foster child. Krista Stotler said she started seeing prices rising this summer and it was costing them an extra $100 a week on groceries…. ‘A gallon of milk was $1.99. Now it’s $2.79. When you buy 12 gallons a week times four weeks, that’s a lot of money,’ she said…. ’12 gallons of milk a week may sound like a lot, but they’ve actually had to cut out their milk baths on alternate days,’ snarked New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait. The New York Times account on crossword puzzles also got into the act, tweeting \u2013 and deleting \u2013, ‘sorry, i can’t do today’s crossword. i’m too busy carrying my 12 gallons of milk home.'”<\/p>\n

Fox News reports<\/a>\u00a0(embedding lots of very embarrassing tweets).<\/p>\n

The mockery is based on the gut reaction that 12 gallons of milk a week is absurd. But with 11 people in the family, it’s an average of two and a half cups \u2014 20 ounces \u2014 of milk per person per day.<\/div>\n

One of the mockers \u2014 a sports editor at the Orlando Sentinel \u2014 tweets “Having to buy 12 gallons a week means you have an issue with contraception\u2026 not the price of milk.” But as you can see above, only 2 of the children are the natural offspring of the parents. The Stotlers have opened their home to 7 more children. And he’s sneering at them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
