And it's a bit tough to get a job and perform well at it when you're suffering from malnutrition, now; isn't it?

Exactly. Not only that, you know how hard it is to get a call back from a job with no phone or address? Pretty damn hard.

Not only that, not all homeless people are junkies/drunks. Some of them have had a hard life with abuse from their parents, and getting your ass kicked every night by a drunken family is no way to live, so they leave. Not all kids growing up have a nice house, or food on the table. If one of their parents is a drug abuser, or loses their job, the kids end up on the streets. Some kids have nowhere else to go due to various problems, and a lot of them aren't by choice.

So next time you see a homeless person, buy them a burger at McDicks for .99cents, it's the least you can do.

When I think junkie, I think crack head idiot that can't reform.. But, you just proved me wrong..:)
