Now as for your rant on eating beans and rice, I know many people whose diet consistently contains beans and rice... Why I fixed that combination myself just yesterday. But of course I was able to add to them items that I raised from my garden, such as tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, etc....
For so many cooking from scratch was never a lesson learned and toooo many rely upon a box of something or a ready made meal zapped in the microwave.
Maybe these food pantries might give cooking classes using the ‘cheap’ food items such as rice and beans with the off brand tomato soup. I would say growing up our primary staple was beans and whatever else that was grown to fix a meal. Many a year my after school snack was a baked sweet potato. I maybe have used a boxed cake mix less than ten times in all of my cooking years.
Why don’t you give the cooking classes since you are so arrogant and holier than thou? I was only referring to beans and rice because most who look down their noses at those less fortunate - harp on these 2 items. There is nothing wrong with them and oh how self-righteous you are when you say you fixed them youself yesterday. Not everyone has the advantage of putting out a garden - nor the space to do so.
No wonder people get the idea that Republicans don’t care about the poor - from the posts in this thread - I’d have to say they are right.
Oh, so now some never learned to cook from scratch? Why don’t you also give your holier-than-thou lessons on how to do that? You people are so arrogant.
