Is she going to use only the appliances, pots, and pans used by the poor? And where does that $29/week number come from anyway? $120/month? Even homeless panhandlers can and do scrounge more than that.

Since when are food stamps limited to that amount
No, no, no, Gwenyth actually meant doing it on
$29 dollars a DAY or maybe a MEAL.
It’d be tough, but we could do it if we tried.
Exactly. Conservatives can point to charities they support but all the liberals do is feel for those in need which to them is charity.
Yes it’s 12 months here, but only breakfast and lunch.
Wait till she starts gaining weight from the rice, beans and potatoes that she can afford to buy on that $29. She’ll go back to Arugula and grilled salmon.
“A couple loaves of bread and a 24 pack of Ramen will do. It ain’t gourmet but it will do.”
Bottle of Ketchup, 12 pack of pork chops. Dozen eggs.
Ketchup 3.00
Eggs 3.00
Porkshops 8.00
Bread 2.00
24 pack raman 6.00
Half gallon milk 3.00
Pat of Butter 2.00
Chicken Gizzards 1.75
12 pieces Bazooka Joe bubble gum .24
Subtotal 28.99
Substitute the ramen with rice, beans and some greens, although I would go with the ramen.
#17 I cannot understand what anyone sees in this Hollywood airhead.
Her godfather is Steven Spielberg.
It is who you know that can get you that part that makes you millions. Sometimes it is a ‘small’ part you grab hold of.... but you marry them and have a kid or two like Kate Capshaw did (married Spielberg) and you are now a rich girl in Hollywood.
#21 She has the comfort to know that her “experiment” will soon be over.
She will have something to talk about at dinner parties for years to come.
To borrow from the Simpsons joke about another self-important Hollyweirdo ... because she has golf-carts with Ego engines that she drives around her estates, and they are powered solely by her aura of smug self-satisfaction?
“Poor Mexicans don’t buy a handful of pricy ingredients. They buy enough rice, masa, lard, beans, and chickens to last a month. And then they produce food that tastes wonderful and kills you quick!”
And barbacoa or marinated chicken. On easter sunday there was a mexican meat market open. Since HEB was closed, I stopped in. I bought 3 pounds of marinated chicken breast for 5.25. Give each family member a quarter pound on a taco, with rice & beans on the side, you eat for 3 nights for less than 10 dollars for the family.
$29 per week is easy.
Now, if one has to limit the diet to Michelle O’s nutrition requirements, they would actually be eating about $15 worth of food per week.

#38 ok lets see her live in a studio apartment with a folding bed, and roaches...
Roaches are free food.......
Without a chef to do it?
For a week it is easy, you can eat anything for a week, eggs, rice, beans, carrots, potatoes, Peanut Butter sandwiches, oatmeal, cereal, canned tuna, brownies and cake mixes, and drink water or cheap drinks.
These stunts are useless.
I understand Mooch budgets 29 dollars per minute per person for her WH menus.
A farmer and his 15 family members lived in this jacal which is now in Big Bend National Park. My father and I visited it in 1987. The ceiling clearance is about 5'8".
I have a photo of Dad standing in the opening with his head higher than the ridgepole.
My sister is a single mom and has started shopping at these Dollar stores.She says she saves a lot of money on groceries that way.
I remember when hamburger was .19 a lb., and the WaPo ran an article in the food section about eating like poor folks...Burger jumped to .89/lb by the end of the year. (wow, but that would seem cheap, now.)
I get a kick out of those “unvarnished” pix of celebrities. Zellwigger, or whatever her name is, has always been unattractive to me. But Gwyneth? Never.
Ah.. beans and pasta.. but could get very “farty”....
