Don't take it the wrong way, I wasn't saying "only blacks get welfare", just that the majority of recipients probably already vote Democrat.
I know poor whites exist, I have a few in my family, but the question for them turns into "would banning SNAP from buying Soda flip their vote?", and if it does, would those votes be enough to swing an election?
The issue is not so much the people who already vote, it’s those who basically don’t care about all this politics bullshit until suddenly it notably affects their daily lives. As dumb as it may sound, outright banning junk food would function as a tangible change in their everyday lives, and a negative one for many. Is it an objectively good idea? Of course! Subjectively, are you going to have a bunch of people who previously didn’t care suddenly interested in giving their vote to anyone able to fix this tangible issue? Also of course! It’s a literal “bread and circuses” deal.

maybe limiting the amount of soda would go over better?

This could be a better way to go about it, instead of banning them outright, say, “all junk food, can only make up a certain percentage of your SNAP”. It’d go over better than outright banning the items.
 
There's one actress in particular I know that was very vocal about her liberal status: Bette Joan Perske.
Of course she was born a hundred years ago. Can you fuck off with this gimmick and just hit up a retirement home already if you're that hard up? You might as well be a furry or a discord tranny where I can't get through a single post of yours without being reminded that, yes, you want to fuck grandmas.

Maybe there needs to be some kind of benefit made for SNAP in order to soften the potential blow of having soda purchases being restricted? Apparently they it can't be used to buy foods that are hot at the point of sale or medicines, vitamins and supplements. Perhaps something could be done with that.

The issue there is dumb faggots would just buy like a week of fast food and be out of it for the rest of the month, which is basically why it’s not allowed to begin with.

I think the earlier suggested idea of not banning it, yet limiting it would go over much better. Sure, you can still buy whichever soda you want… yet junk food as a whole can only make up a certain % of your monthly SNAP benefits.

You know what you can do with SNAP? Restrict it so here's what you can buy: fresh/frozen chicken, ground beef, veggies and fruit (fresh and frozen), rice, beans, eggs, milk, butter, and spices. If you cannot figure out anything to do with any of these then you are beyond saving, and your problem isn't being broke; it's being lazy. Probably add flour to this, and maybe bread/cheese/sandwich meats.

You want your ice cream? Buy it with your own earned cash. Soda, candy, frozen pizzas and similar crap? Buy it yourself. Anybody arguing "SNAP recipients don't deserve to live on flavorless gruel they deserve nice things too" are just lazy niggers who never learned how to cook a decent meal in their lives. No, you shouldn't be blowing my money on twenty dollar steaks to maintain some imaginary standard of living that apparently only comes with the finest New York strips.
 
I cannot back AOC in any way since the first time I saw her speak and realized that she's like a preschool teacher addressing some three year olds. The big-BIG eyes, the nodding, the cadence of her speech. She thinks she's talking to children or particularly bright animals, and I find that offensive.
I noticed this same affect from Tucker Carlson when he was on Fox News and I never liked him as a result.

There are plenty of retards on both sides of the aisle. I think it's a mistake to paint our opponents as 100% morons, "uneducated", etc. There are some very clever people on both sides who are manipulating the masses. The masses themselves are pretty dumb for continually falling for it, but they're not calling the shots.

At this point, I tend to mistrust ANYONE who paints situations in an overly emotional fashion, or lectures like they're talking to kindergarteners. What they are doing is tugging on the leash and manipulating the gullible on their side of the aisle for their own benefit. They talk like that because they're not interested in rational thinking people and that's not their core audience. With AOC, it's dangerhairs, lgbtqwtfbbq, vote-blue-no-matter who goblins. With Tucker, it's boomer conservatives, Evangelicals, and Q-tards.

I'd buy frozen veggies over fresh. The shelf life is longer and the nutrients stay locked in.

bro stole my idea but I respect it. also, cookware as well maybe? and i'd add peanut butter and jelly perhaps
 
  • Agree

I was hoping the first thing RFK focused on was getting rid of the awful INGREDIENTS in all the foods, since Canada and Europe outright banned a lot of chemicals in foods and they didn't get in trouble. But I suppose you can focus on multiple things at once.

Food stamps can't pay for alcohol. The same should go for other unhealthy foods or drinks that offer zero nutrients.

Edit: accidentally resurrected JFK so he could fix American food

way cheaper too, 1 bag for 4 servings is 99 cents at Walmart.
Btw, college/broke food hack, pasta+ ground beef+ sauce+ veggies can last you 3-4 nights if not longer if you cook and store it properly.

I was on topic with what he was talking about. Your hostility is unwarranted.
 
Wrong one.

Maybe, but you'd have to limit it to some hard dollar amount per-year. You don't need anything more than a thirty dollar non-stick for big dishes, and a smaller frying pan for things like eggs and beans. Same with things like utensils. I'd go as far as to say you only need a hundred bucks if even that to have yourself a functional kitchen set. Don't give these retards the ability to go out and blow their (your) money on overpriced KitchenAids (which I'd say is an appliance not cookware, but I wouldn't want these idiots going out and trying to buy/resell expensive kitchen toys on taxpayer money).

Pipe dream, but imagine you have to get some kind of medical service related to diabetes, coronary problems, things like that. You have to disclose up front if you're a SNAP recipient, and then billing gets to pull what you've been spending on. If they see you've been spending on soda, ice cream, candy bars over some certain amount that gets reported to the state and your ass gets fined. I bet you people would start prioritizing healthier SNAP spending then. This is of course in some other reality where they don't just disallow that bullshit on benefits to begin with, which I'd prefer.

another thing i'm thinking about is peanut butter. on one hand, great source of protein, fills you up quick, etc. but on the other, it's pretty damn fattening.
Maybe for familes they should get different options? maybe low sugar cereals and reduced prices on non snap foods like waffles, honey, etc? Honestly a good idea we got going
 
Wish someone would have told me that in my 20's. I wound up getting the one chick that was obsessed with Phantom of the Opera.
At least you managed to avoid Hamilton girls, Hamilton fans are quite possible the worst of all nu-Broadway slop enjoyers. Or god forbid you ended up with a girl who likes Dear Evan Hansen
 
I agree with the specific list (if we're talking generals, not by brand)
But amounts seems a little too much, no? like some people prefer more beans than rice, etc.
Nope, you want government to be the provider for your children you get told what they eat.

If you don't like it then get a fucking job, I have zero empathy for anyone who gets Welfare.

People in this thread are more concerned about niggers chimping out if they can't buy junk food and junk drinks with their ebt.

IMO, let em. The red states will send in the police or nasty girls to clamp down on em. The blue states will just allow them to wreck their own shit even more.

edit: the media will forget about it and go after the next controversial thing Elon says or does.
