easily the least surprising thing I've ever heard from a jew. lol

should be limited to healthy food only. Even then they'll use it on steaks and lobster but at least those have nutritional content

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Hollywood has been doing the "yes we are woke, eat shit and die" for the last decade. The giants like Disney don't care if they lose money because they are too big to fail and everyone else was high off of DEI corporate welfare.

Also Cats was hated day one for multiple reasons

1. It was furry shit
2. It had a garbage plot
3. The producers had a much larger budget than most musicals at the time that allowed it to spam advertising like crazy and to rent out large venues and keep the show running for an eternity, effectively force of will making it a hit quality be damn.

It's a running joke among the Broadway crowds that had the producers of Angels In America had the infinite deep pockets that Cats has, it would have had a longer run on Broadway during its initial run and been a proper big hit. As well as the joke that Phantom has had the long run it had was due to the fact that for a period of time, it's only competition for casual audiences was Cats and a watered down and neutered version of Phantom of the Opera was preferable than a nightmare fuel Furry musical that is so god awful you need brain bleach afterwards

To your first point: I disagree, slightly. They have been doing the woke shit, yes, but they present it as telling the truth rather than outright admitting they are politically biased. That's my point.

To your second point: didn't critics at the time puff it up, especially because the original London production got rave reviews?

Can we just not give brokies a choice and give them a stipend of pre-selected items? Tried dried beans for the first time recently and they’re actually really good and cheap. Its not hard to feed yourself on a budget holy shit.

How are they supposed to clean they chicken without bleach?

Why are you lumping breads, brats, deli meats, and jam into this as if those are poison? I'll except that some breads contain too much sugar unnecessarily but the others are fine food, I love to make fresh jam from local fruits.

And this is why placing restrictions on buying food, even under government assistance, is a bad idea in practice. I mean, it's arguably more unhealthy to buy those Lunchly's then to buy the foods yourself to make your own.

Most white bread is just empty carbs and sugar. Brats and deli meats are just bad fats often mixed with salt and negligible protein, with cancer inducing chems. Supermarket jam is often just 99% sugar and zero other benefits.

Wait a minute, what is wrong with buying condiments like KETCHUP?

While it's known that walmart is beyond scummy and does push its own employees into being dependent on purchasing from their own store, every single person in this thread acting like it's 'torture' to eat cheap gives me the impression they never once had to do so.

Fun fact: Walmart's employee discount doesn't cover most fresh fruits/veggies/meat/grain/dairy. You know what it does cover? Candy. Discounts on actual food are only given from about November to the new year.

 

[George Lucas]

I think that food gibz me dats should just be a few boxes of MRE's to last the month.

That’s not a bad idea. Not specifically MREs, but an MRE-like meal that’s not as shelf stable and calibrated for a normal amount of daily activity (as opposed to MREs that are meant for active duty military).

At least Walmart cut back on the "woke." Great employee benefit, WalMart.

Apparently, a fatwa has been issued to MAGA shill accounts on behalf of BIG SODA to post in favor of keeping soda in food stamps—for seemingly no reason. Some pretty big accounts are involved (and also Ian Miles Cheong, too), and allegedly, they're paying up to $1,000 per shill

Is it really wrong to believe that if you're asking the government to pay for part/all of your food then they have the right to say what food you can or can't buy with it? Seriously nothing is wrong banning soda and processed food stuffs for those on food stamps.

Ketchup is 100% sugar and perhaps the most unhealthy condiment. Legit, mayo gives you some mineral and protein benefits. Ketchup can’t even do that. It’s legit goo sugar.

 

[Namekian George Floyd]

I don't know how people forgot that the purpose of these programs was to give bare essentials to those in need so they don't just die in the streets. If you allow them luxuries then you're just coddling the problem and giving them reasons not to go off government assistance.
On another note, I helped a brokie friend move out of their low-income housing a while ago and I don't know if it's just this specific location but I was pretty shocked at how much space they were given and how nice it was inside. Maybe I should just spend all of my savings on Pokemon cards, get addicted to crack and pick up a job at McDonalds so the government gives me free Coke Zero and a nice place to live for almost free.

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

Also, fruit juice is far worse for you than coke zero lol.

coke zero is considered equivalent to a hydration drink in the EU due to high levels of potassium and shit, it gets a Nutriscore of B



Whole milk gets a Nutriscore of C and I've seen examples of milk being ranked a D.

Nutriscore cries about misrepresentation here:

If you're going to ban ketchup, you may as well restrict all other condiments. Or even syrup for your pancakes and French Toast. What the hell?

And no, Lunchly's are NOT healthier. Do you know how much sugar is in a PRIME drink?

AOC is a plant of some kind. I don't know what group or agency is backing her but when she was elected to congress she was working as a bartender and less than a week later was wearing 200k necklaces to DC fundraisers.

She passed the audition. Not a joke, there was an audition for someone to take her current situation and she won. She was also…more “fit” for the role as well, if you remember the simps at the time.

Fun fact: Everything you listed there is perishable. At the end of its shelf life, everyone gets a heavy discount on it. Not to mention that the sell-by dates are very conservative, so it's not like it goes bad the moment the clearance sticker goes on it.

All poors will be given a ration of Pemmican and salt pork. Chahta Sia Hokei comrade!

 

[Glowing In The Streets]

Mods be like : nooo you can't talk about ukraine when US politicians talk about ukraine noooooo
Also mods: yes my child, we need to discuss soda flavors and why modern Coke Zero sucks

 

[Quiet Guy]

Didn't the government used to provide the meals or something themselves? That's what government cheese was, right? Wouldn't it be better to modify the system such that it's harder to abuse, or would that be likely to cause electoral issues?

Also, would soda be healthier if they switched to cane sugar?
