I don't know a whole lot about the Honey Boo-Boo saga, but as I understand it, she came from the "Toddlers in Tiaras" world, which seems to indicate that the family does have a competitive streak and do strive for something more. They now star in a TV show that, I imagine, creates more value than I could ever hope to achieve, and while it does not seem like a show I would enjoy, it must have a significant impact on some people's lives in order to still be on the air.

Perhaps the family is not solving problems like world hunger, but to say nothing is getting done under their watch may not be exactly correct.
