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:

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.

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: 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.

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!

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?

 

[lIllllIiiiiLLLLiiiiIIIIll]

Let's be real, soda is "food product" slop for the lower classes. Enough carbs and sugar to get through another day at the price of your own body.

That said, it's funny that the lobbyists are scared subsidized soda feeds to the poor are at risk.

 

[DickMain]

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.

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.

I'm surprised more people don't know these things. Condiments fall squarely in the "if you do not need this to survive" camp. I'm honestly fine with processed meats and breads (normal breads mind you not those gimmicky cinnamon breads and such) being on EBT since I'm assuming people aren't so dumb they're eating only toast, and I myself am managing to lose weight while eating white toast/bean/egg breakfasts a couple times most weeks.

Wouldn't it be better to modify the system such that it's harder to abuse

I don't think our law is advanced enough yet to get to the logical conclusion of the deportation question, so the abuse is sadly here to stay for now.

That said, it's funny that the lobbyists are scared subsidized soda feeds to the poor are at risk.

In my lifetime I hope these retard companies are barred from giving even a single penny to a judge or senator. We all know they do it so they can skirt by the law.

 

[owTwo]

Just drink water.

The people who are on EBT cannot drink their tap water. It'll fucking kill them.

I have an idea: Can we please get beer and wine on the SNAP eligibility list? We have some 7,000 years of proven all-of-recorded-history showing they are dietary staples of civilization, and there's zero reason they shouldn't be subsidized if we have to only subsidize things we know are perfectly healthy for people.

I also just solved the problem of Shaniquas selling their SNAP cards for lotto tickets at 50 cents on the dollar. Now they can instead get MD 20/20. And throw in a Buzzball for little Trayvon, since I'm footing the bill after Dad left for cigarettes!

its crazy how much people love products. a hit song dedicated to a drink

Ever wondered why so much advertising seems geared to 13.5% of the US population? Negroes are HIGHLY susceptible to advertising and they they don’t save money - they tend to spend every last cent they have.

In fact, the negro is so enamoured with advertising that’s it’s not uncommon for them to name their cursed spawn after products they desire: Mercedes, Gucci, Cristal, Astroglide, Hair Weave.

Technically, you don't need spices to survive either. This is stupid.

ABC: "Is there anything that you think Trump has done right?"

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "Yeah. I think cracking down on fentanyl, making sure our borders are stronger. Look, nobody thinks illegal immigration is appropriate."

That's not surprising. In 2016 Bernie spoke very strongly against illegal immigration during the primaries. After Trump won running on a similar platform the Democrats didn't want anyone on their side in agreement with anything that Trump was pushing. They probably gave Bernie a lot of money to shut up about it.

I think the Democrat party is in such disarray right now that Bernie no longer sees a need to listen to them. There's some speculation that far-left part of the party is using this opportunity to seize power. The immigration issue is one that the Democrats need to get away from. Deporting all of those illegals is going to mean less government spending on them and more jobs for Americans.

>those replie
>all those Canadians who don't even live in the US who own and hold onto properties in the US
If this isn't faggots making shit up to virtue signal, how on earth is it that so many middle upper class faggots squat on properties in the US without even living in the US, and the US is just okay with that? If Canada is just one example of a trend, no wonder the average citizen can't pay rent, you've got 'demand' from all over the world jacking up the market price.

A large number of older/retired Canadians spend the winter in the U.S. Most of this property is probably small lots in retirement communities in Arizona, Florida, or other southern states. Some of the wealthier ones may own larger, regular homes, but most of these are the equivalent of a trailer home with maybe a small attachment built on.

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.

Yes because that's supposed to remai unspoken until they can get universal healthcare. Otherwise the same principal will sink it too.

 

[DickMain]

I have an idea: Can we please get beer and wine on the SNAP eligibility list?

No. Get a job and buy it yourself. I cook with the cheapest five dollar Chardonnay you can get, and I don't trust Daneshexxuquah to use my tax contributions appropriately and not buy four a week to get drunk off her ass.

Ketchup is 100% sugar and perhaps the most unhealthy condiment.

You can, and I do, get sugar free ketchup which uses zero calorie sweeteners.

 

[Gondolindrim]

well...

Ah, that explains why all those movie reviewers hate him so much.

Indians would disagree.

 

[tehpope]

Is that Juju the Cow getting fucked in the ass by lego people?

No, its one of the ugly mom's from the yo mama channel. I am 100% serious.

 

[The Last Stand]

We're planning on banning soda from SNAP before banning Indians from the H1B visas. What a time to be alive.
