WIC and SNAP should be melded together into a single program.

You get a specific list of things and specific amounts of things you can buy.
list yes, amounts nahh. Seriously I've seen niggers who get into screaming matches at the local sandwich shop because they don't understand that they can't spend their snap on hot food and cigarettes.
 
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

Every day for the last 12 years something like this happens, and my faith in humanity dies a little. I feel like the parents in that Furry coming out picture.

We don't want them to say whatever, we want them to be factual and objective
They won't, and that's what I'm saying. The mouthpieces will say whatever appeals to the largest amount of their perceived core viewership; the path of least financial risk. They have no scruples, and they'll slide around the political spectrum to whatever point makes them the most money. If that means next week we see CNN going "here's why birth control is good actually" or how much Biden's immigration policy cost then you can bet your bottom dollar they will do it.

They are not there to say what they believe in (one could argue they shouldn't be doing even that and should just stick to the straight dope reporting with no dumbass opinion pieces or debates); they're there to tell you what they think you want to hear and what will keep you glued to their program.
 
I swear poptarts are made in India or some shit these days. They have the icing looking great on the box with all the swirls and everything and back in the day the poptarts would actually look like that when opened but today when you open one you get a smudge of icing smeared over the poptart like it was given a dirty sanchez. The filling used to be spread out evenly but now you just get a dollop of goo sometimes in the middle or sometimes off to the back. I seriously dont understand how Poptarts have decreased in quality so bad but it's an embarrassment and Trump needs to make Poptarts great again.
Aside from the Paul Harrell pfp meme I use (rest in peace good sir), I don't eat they anymore. Apart from all the stupid ingredients in them and such, they still have HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) in them.
 
A common meal I make for my family is to cook an onion in a drizzle of olive oil, add in 3 cans of black beans, 3 cans of kidney beans, 2 cans of diced tomatoes, and then season with cumin, black pepper, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Serve that over 2.5-3 cups of rice, and sprinkle with a bit of shredded cheese if desired. The beans, onion, and tomatoes add up to about $9, everything else is hard to estimate the price of because I use such a small amount of the container (and buy the rice in 20 pound bags, I have a large family), but altogether I'd say it costs between $11 and $13 on the high end. It fills an extra deep 9" x 13" glass pan, is very filling, and gives maybe 10-12 full meal servings on average depending on who is eating it exactly. It's healthy, and very filling, much more so than junk food.
That sounds like shit bro. Are you a fucking beaner or something? You eatin BEANS instead of MEAT?

I could go on a screed about how awful cereal in general is for you, how there's no such thing as a real, 'healthy' cereal. I think cereal and soda are two of the biggest examples of corporate meddling within government. Obscene amounts of money and advertising pushed to trick customers into thinking their food was just a "balanced breakfast" (no motherfucker on the planet was cooking up a full plate of eggs, sausage, beans, toast, and cereal), and just as much shoved into the faces of lawmakers to keep them looking the other way while they straight up fabricate information on their packaging and in their marketing. They know that if people knew how bad their shit was for them they'd be selling a lot less of it.
Oh, you don't need to tell me. It's all carbs with varying amounts of sugar.

I always had my suspicions about these kind of accounts but its glad to have them confirmed. Fucking shilling for the sale of soda is just so bizarre.

What about oatmeal? You're probably thinking that the pre-packaged oatmeal with sweeteners qualifies as junk food. Now, it sounds like we're at the point where if the government would fund your food via welfare, you'd have to put effort into making it yourself with the basic necessities from the food pyramid.
