If the government does not kill the jobs first!
the gov is killing all the jobs and opportunity but you can still create your own job, your own business is my point.
While the idea of eating mostly veg seems to freak out a lot of FReepers, I just got a book on being vegan for $4 a day - written to combat the idea that eating healthy is expensive. It turns out that is just a bit lower than my usual budget for 2 adults, so, it can be done.
If people would buy unprocessed food, get fruits in season instead of boxed snacks, make their own ice cream and shakes from frozen fruit, and learn to love beans, rice, potatoes, and green veg, they wouldn’t have a problem with the new budget. If they had to have meat, by eating unprocessed food in the rest of the diet, they would have enough to add in some chicken or stew beef.
I’m not going to say that everyone on food stamps is lazy or a welfare queen. The disabled get them, the elderly get them, they are a boon to the unemployed who are trying to stay afloat while they look for work. But, they will never seem like enough if you buy mostly processed food.
