>>You want people to eat pink slime and pig tendons on a regular basis?<<
Yes.
Perhaps you had parents who had not lived in the depression or didn’t come from “The old country”. My grandparents used every bit of animals they slaughtered. Ever see Head Cheese or scrapple? Ever eat Czarnina? When you are hungry, you eat the protein given to you.
Personally, I think we should give poor people boxes of food. If they don’t like the food, they can trade or buy their own.
Actually I had a dad who was in a concentration camp as a child during WWII and a Mom who actually liked and served Spam. So there.
Actually, I prefer the idea of "kibble". A basic mix of ingredients, probably patterned after the "zone" diet of 40/30/30 carb/protein/fat with USDA recommended levels of salt, vitamins, minerals, etc., included so that you hit 100% on a basic 1500-2000 calorie/day amount.
Make the stuff freely available to all, no means testing. And eliminate food stamps.
You're hungry but have no money for food? There's always kibble. Dull, perhaps, but it'll keep you alive and nourished.
I have never forgotten being in my German Great Grandmother’s kitchen in about 1960, and she said she was going to be making some “headcheese.” She must have seen my puzzled look....”Do you know what that is?” Of course I didn’t...I was about 10....Pig Brains.....aagghhh....now...50 years later....I understand that you can use the whole animal...and will, IF YOU ARE REALLY HUNGRY!

I agree. I remember government dry milk, cheeze and rice. Good for people. Peopel ate it, traded it, or fed it to their pigs.
