I wonder how much $$$ poor little Caleb Torres spent on beer and liquor while he was “starving”.

[Klemper]

All they have to do, is move to Venezuela, and they will have too much to eat. That is why the stores are empty.

[technically right]

Well Caleb, it’s called Life. Get used to it snowflake.

The sad part is that the young people now aren’t ever going to get the satisfaction of pulling themselves up by the bootstraps and say I Did It! I made this HAPPEN!!

. . . and he has the latest and greatest smartphone.

[Nifster]

I worked in the kitchen to pay for my meals

[Slyfox]

He should be a little inventive and get a part time job at a restaurant.

"...rice covered with cans of Campbell’s mushroom soup...."

I haven't had that for a long time! Always loved it, or with cream of chicken soup. Even mom made that a few times a month, and we were pretty 'comfortable'. Thanks for the reminder I'll make some soon..

[TexasGator]

We’re you my roomate at Florida?

[Chickensoup]

so they are too dumb to problemsolve how to feed themselves?

[caww]

my son was smart....took a Job at the marriot dining room as a bus boy in Providence. Worked his way to waiter than bar manager..... Fell in love with the business and has managed four and five star restaurants! Never had a hungry day throughout his college years.

And there all FAT. Right?

[Nifster]

Peanut butter and whatever

[Real Cynic No More]

That’s why I encouraged my kids to go the meal ticket route.

No calories in Tide pods.

[Keyhopper]

Don’t forget to throw in some extra money for term papers, those are like $400 on line. Hey! They don’t write themselves ya know

[caww]

On a spoon til you lick it dry! HAHAHA!

[bgill]

If they have enough money to buy Tide Pods, they have enough to eat. Tide is the most expensive detergent out there and their Pods are even more costly than their liquid. Stupid kids don’t know that condoms go on their ding a lings, not their noses. It’s no wonder they can’t figure out how to feed themselves.

I walked around University of Tampa. Believe me, there ain’t no food problem. Certain members of certain communities have trouble fitting to many of the doors. I would have a lot more sympathy for people not having enough to eat if they could fit in my car.

Ramen noodles. Put in extra water if you are really hungry.

I did the dining hall the first year of my professional program, then went the cheaper route of an old, two burner hotplate and a toaster oven to cook better and cheaper meals in the dorm.
