I don't know where to begin. Food Justice? Is this an echo of jane (idiot) Fonda's starving children in Georgia shtick?

Does this jackass Booker really think that it's the government's responsibility to rob from those who work for a living so as to supplement the lifestyles of those who don't? (Yes apparently he does)

Does he really think that someone's mere existence obligates his fillow citizens to provide him a living (Again apprently yes) BUT IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN.

Sorry , they're not my children. Not one of these parasites on food stampe came to me and said, "He Occupied GA, I'm going to screw out a litter of kids and I want you to pay for their housing, their health care, their eiducation, and their food. That OK with you?" I'm sure I would have remembered.

Another thing the a$$hole booker ignores is where does the money come from. Every dollar that EBT parasites consume is taken at gunpoint from some hardworking American. So if some lazy parasite like Lakisha Spreademwide or "spunkets" gets $60 a week to spend of expensive frozen entrees, then Occupied Ga (or some other WORKING American) has $60 LESS to spend on what he wants during the week.

Drivel like this that oozes from the mouths of liberals makes my hair hurt.

MY APOLOGIES - I FORGOT THE BARF ALERT

[cripplecreek]

This morning, I will begin living on a food budget of $30 a week / $4.32 per day. This is the financial equivalent of the budget provided to people participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, in the State of New Jersey. I will live only on a SNAP equivalent food budget for the next seven days.

That would be a minimum amount. A single food stamp user I know gets nearly $250 per month. That's not too shabby for a single person who is a smart shopper.

[snowrip]

If this POS idiot wants food justice, he should expend his energy on lobbying his god to create a greater number of real jobs.

[bert]

When push comes to shove, when they get really hungary, they’ll quit spitting out the seeds

[Deepest South]

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Supplemental sounds like a word that is used to describe,

1. functioning in a supporting capacity; “the main library and its auxiliary branches” [syn: auxiliary]
2. added to complete or make up a deficiency; “produced supplementary volumes” [syn: supplementary]

Based on the definition of the word it would seem that this $30.00 a week is to be used as an addition to other funds used for food.

[SunTzuWu]

He also assumes that 100% of a persons food budget comes from food stamps. He's ignoring the very first word in SNAP. Supplemental. Food stamps are supposed to supplement your food budget, not take over your food budget.

[MrB]

There is no way you’re going to spend your way to making “Lakisha (EBT) Wideload” buy healthy food that she actually has to prepare for her welfare brood.

Yes, that’s a very unPC statement. But argue that I’m wrong, I dare ya!

You really can't have a serious country and let children go hungry, but the key to it is that money should not be involved at all. There simply needs to be some place within walking distance where children could go for cheeseburgers, fries, and shakes or whatever. THAT would cost some tiny fraction of the drug-stamp program.

[OpusatFR]

I can eat on $30 a week and very well.

One must cook however and not buy anything processed.

[Cheapskate]

So Cory, So this is what you have to do to get off Obama’s S-it list?

[prov1813man]

“Food Justice” is the Orwellian twist on the instructive fable regarding the grasshopper and the ant. This is the end game in which the values that shaped us are exchanged for those that will destroy us.

[CPOSharky]

...gets $60 a week to spend of expensive frozen entrees, then Occupied Ga (or some other WORKING American) has $60 LESS to spend on what he wants during the week.

A lot more than $60 had to be taken away from some workers to cover the government's processing costs.

[JoeDetweiler]

The problem with all of these “I’m gonna live on $XX for one week” tests is that they aren’t very realistic. When you buy for just one week you can’t buy anything in bulk, so you pay a premium. And for me, at least, a bottle of ketchup lasts at least six months. How do I budget that for a week? Or do I just steal some from the local Burger King? I can pick it up while there stealing salt and pepper...

[9YearLurker]

Oh, and I could live—and have lived—on $4.32 a day quite easily:

I could have eggs with home fries, toast (or oatmeal) and coffee for breakfast, almost any kind of bean or legume (or Mexican anything) main dish for lunch, and a recommended portion of London broil with fresh or frozen vegetables for dinner—and I could make that a different dinner every night of the week: a pork chop, meatloaf, tlapia, etc..

[paint_your_wagon]

My family ekes by on $3.95 per person per day. Been doing it for years.
We eat fresh meat, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit every day. We also are able to include a few luxury items every month. Plus we’re able to stock up on lots of non perishables.

In a pinch, we could cut our budget if we needed a little extra cash and still be well fed.

[muir_redwoods]

Beginning today I will supplement my grocery expenditures with $30/week stolen from my neighbors. This is know as the Stolen from Neighbors And Pocketed (SNAP) program formerly known as larceny.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Food justice," "social justice," "sustainable development," all code words for totalitarian Communism.

[Rebelbase]

He could have four dollar store McRib's per day on that budget!

[John O]

The moment some hack uses “justice” combined with any other word (”food”, “social” etc) it screams out “communism” to me.

What is real justice?
1. If you do the crime, You do the time.
2. If you don’t work, You don’t eat.
3. If you can’t afford it, You don’t get it.
4. If you can’t support your children, Don’t have them.

This country needs more justice. Far too many criminals disguised as food stamp users. Far too many criminals disguised as democrat politicians (Yes I know there are some crooked pubbies too but the odds are almost certain that a democrat is a criminal. Their platform demands it)

Pray for Obama (and the rest of the democrats). Psalm 109:8-9 Let real justice be done!

A Twitter user tweeted me her opinion that "nutrition is not the responsibility of the government". This comment caused me to reflect on the families and children in my community who benefit from SNAP assistance and deserve deeper consideration. In my own quest to better understand the outcomes of SNAP assistance, I suggested to this specific Twitter user that we both live on a SNAP equivalent food budget for a week and document our experience.

The author has a reading comprehension and/or logic problem. The ease or difficulty in subsisting solely on the supplumental food allowance in no way addresses the point that buying your food is not the government's (taxpayers') responsbility.
