Back in the day, junk food was banned from food stamps and people were healthier. They couldn’t buy Ocean Spray because it contained sugar but could buy 100% juice.

Makes no sense they get 360 free breakfasts and lunches during the school year and then more summer lunches for ages 0-21. SNAP somehow forgets to count those or the extra food some schools send for the weekend. And food banks. And other charities. Snort, the government can’t figure out why they’re obese.

SNAP thinks it takes **** 3 TIMES**** more than this kitchen does just from SNAP funds to feed America. Our food budget is $3.75/day/person. Somehow we’re charged an extra $7.50 each every day of our lives for someone else. Excuse me?!? That is from our working income rather than freebies. We don’t eat out so it is cooking from scratch. If I can do it with just half an hour actual hands on effort then the freeloaders can get off the couch and do the same.

DOGE needs to gut all of welfare.

Same here. I'm gearing up for making a super sauce to go with various pastas and the occasional gnocchi. To keep things moving along, I always clean as I go.
