“Food stamps should be limited to things like rice and beans.”

Not all people have facilities where they can cook or prepare a meal, and worse, there’s plenty who don’t even know how to.

The prospect of going hungry is awfully good incentive to learn.

Sure they can, on their Section VIII stoves in the homes we also provide for them.
Anyone too stupid to know how to boil water .... geez Louise.

Well, they better get a job, or get used to eating dry raw rice and beans!

Then solve the problem: teach them how to cook, using whatever means available.
Crock pots, hot plates, rice cookers (see Ebert’s book), etc are cheap & only need an outlet.
One cast iron pan can be enough for most foods, even over a scrap wood fire.
And plenty of food can be had at room temperature.

This “but they don’t have the resources” is nonsense. I can cook you sustaining food for $1/plate indefinitely with any resources you supply. The only thing lacking is education, and we’re dumping insane money into public schools that should be teaching such basics.

One can cook rice and beans, etc., with a hot plate. If they don’t know how, time to learn. Learning comes quick if one is hungry.

And your point being???...

Gees, my relatives on government aid all have smart phones. There are millions of videos on Youtube on how to cook and bake. I know. I've watched half of them.

If someone wanted to save money on food stamps, instead of buying Hamburger Helper or Shake N Bake, there are vids showing you how to make your own.

I haven’t worked my whole life and had the gobemit steal half of it some some ignorant lazy sloth can get take out at K.F.C.

Learn or starve. Those of us paying their way did!

#23 isn’t it ironic these same helpless
Gibmedats have 4-800 dollar cell phones,
Manicured and painted nails and the latest hairdos that I assure you they didn’t do themselves?

Wonder why that is. /s
