“And your point being???...”
Read my other posts.
I detest how the food stamp program has evolved into what it now has become and how it’s being abused, but there are still those who genuinely benefit from it through no fault of their own.
I can put a roast in, with carrots, onions, celery and potatoes, and come home from work to a good meal.
Sunday afternoon and I can hollow out 5 bell peppers. Fill with some ground beef, rice and tomatoes. In the evening, I'm putting them in plastic containers in the freezer, for lunches.
I've got about 4-5 crock pots.
I've had Sundays with 3 going, making lunches for at work, for the next month.
LePage, McCrory and TX’s Greg Abbott are the only 3 sitting Governors that would make my short-list for VP. Unfortunately for McCrory, he is running for reelection in a tight race against the moonbat Dem Atty Gen and I don’t think he could simultaneously run for both offices.
My teacher assistant has a sister w/ 5 kids & no fathers in the picture. It seems like her meals consist of frozen pizza, cheese sticks, pizza rolls, etc. Stuff that normal people buy as a fun treat every so often......
it was not meant as meals.
Needless to say, lots of obesity on our dime. When I bring meals to school many people are shocked that I cook from scratch. How do you get to be an adult & not cook?????
Not at all...
That's what FAMILY and friends are for.
“If I were in charge, I would make a government store that only sells the absolute basics.”
That would work well, but I’d be quite fearful of our government setting up that kind of infrastructure. If it were in place right now, Obama and his masters could create the appropriate SHTF scenario (such as economic collapse) and declare those places are the ONLY places EVERYBODY gets their food at. Then they could discretely pluck the undesirables out of the crowd for the ‘re-education camps’.
So while FLOTUS is unconstitutionally forcing INTRAstate schools to feed kids healthy food which the kids end up throwing away, Obama wants recipients of unconstitutonal federal welfare funding to be able to eat candy and sodas. Is that right?
I have been eating rice and beans for breakfast since 2000. I put taco seasoning on top of it to give it more taste. I am in good health, but I am poor. No, I do NOT take any government assistance. If I can live on that diet, so can anyone, including your now deceased relative.
“The dont have resources is BS.”
You and I can live like that, but do you really think the masses can? Give thanks to God that you are blessed with the knowledge to do such and survive. I challenge you to go volunteer at a homeless shelter or a food bank (if you haven’t) and see what sorts of people you encounter.
Many of us folks living on fixed incomes eat for less money and more nutritionally than people who get food stamps.
What????!!!!
I’ve also thought that former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Peter Pace (USMC - retired) would make a great VP, due to his moral character which is outstanding, AND his military credentials. Your thoughts on that?
That is cool, what is the brand name?
” I challenge you to go volunteer at a homeless shelter or a food bank (if you havent) and see what sorts of people you encounter.”
I have (have had to do community service), and while there are truly people who really are legitimately in need of those kinds of services, I would estimate that the vast majority are not, and coincidentally the people in the latter group tended to be the rudest people I have ever encountered (and I travel for a living-extensively). The thing I find most amazing these days is there are youtube videos on how to do anything, including how to make almost any dish. I have used them to learn the “proper” or the easy technique to make more advanced things. The first time in the history of the world that all human knowledge is accesible to just about everybody, and most people use it to look at porn or pictures of cats.
Thanks : )
I plead guilty to being a lover of the Dodo site for animal vids & photos.
Animal porn? ; )
Y’all couldn’t cook for the relative...? Hmmmm....
I don’t know enough about him to offer an informed opinion.
