I think it's ridiculous that ABC only filmed specific areas, where poverty is at it's worst. I am completely disgusted with the show, and believe that they have now given all people in the Appalachian area a bad name. Where I'm from, no one, and I mean NO ONE lives that way.  We don't all drink soda and take prescription drugs. The majority of the people in this area are clean, have good jobs and don't have to walk to work or school. I am sorry that there are people who have no choice but to walk, but for the most part, we're just like any other town in the U.S.  I think that ABC should come back and show the world how the majority of people here actually do live. We're not all in poverty.
