I want to add something as well. Plant-based meats and soy products should be excised from SNAP/EBT. That's a trend with no consistent, proven health benefits.

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.

and a small summer camp for vacation that's worth probably north of a million alone.

This has come up a few times because Bernie insists on using a very regional term, in a way that is intentionally deceptive on his part.

The term "camp" is used in Upstate New York and Vermont to refer to any non-primary residence, usually in the area of Lake Champlain. A modest log cabin, hewn from pines felled on the lot would be "a camp," but Bernie's 4 bedroom, multiple out-building compound, with 500+feet of waterfront featuring a massive engineered retaining wall at the waterline, would also be locally termed "a camp."

I'm also pretty skeptical of the supposed $570k price tag that Bernie paid in 2016. It seems low by at least 30% for the market at that time.

I endorse state subsidies of diet soda, medical marijuana and Burnout Revenge for the PS2 to all poor communities.

But do we get to kill every Puerto Rican on the planet? What about shoving CD holders up peoples asses?

Actually is theorized that soy product in big quantity is bad for male and female health.
Soy is unique in that it contains a high concentration of isoflavones, a type of plant estrogen (phytoestrogen) that is similar in function to human estrogen but with much weaker effects. Soy isoflavones can bind to estrogen receptors in the body and cause either weak estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activity.

I'll say it soy make people gay lmfao.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says the Department of Justice has created a Tesla terrorism task force: "The three people in custody right now will receive severe and swift consequences - This is domestic terrorism."

@The Last Stand Yo man, can we at least find some common ground with Maria? She's the one on the left.

Coca-Cola themselves owns about 500 brands, with them having a marginal market share of soft drinks of around 46%. That's incredible.

It's a lot less than it used to be before Pepsi came into their own, but it's still a ludicrous, unthinkably-large amount of money for a beverage company to be able to use to influence the government.

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 people really have problems with potassium, all they need is 1/2 tsp of apple a day Horse electrolytes mixed in 32oz of water three times a week. Five pound bucket will run you about $30 on Amazon.

 

[Day of the Cope]

We already reject food stamps for alcohol. Just add soda to the list and be done with it. If something else is about to get put on the list, we can discuss the merits of that product's exclusion when that time comes.

I mean, yeah, I'm all for it. I just want to use the moment to get people talking about what we eat in general.

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.

I said it earlier in the thread, but I've never once had to be sold on spinach or carrots.

Homemade with barley
The fiber in barley might lower cholesterol, blood sugar, and insulin levels. It also seems to slow stomach emptying which could keep blood sugar stable and help to control appetite. People use barley for heart disease and high cholesterol.
...or rice ...
You make them puff ..it easy...with a dash of honey ....it like sugar crips but less deadly.

“The Brutal American” sounds like the tightest shit ever. Was it supposed to be an insult? I like it.

Tfw ugly american digivolves into BRUTAL AMERICAN

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

an unhealthy population is a docile population.

I have a long-standing joke/theory that Americanized Chinese food is as unhealthy as it is to make Americans fat and lazy.
What they actually eat looks nothing like the stuff we have.

 

[MrJokerRager]

"Fight Oligarchy" they are never going to realize how much money Bernie has are they

Bernie supports the existence the state of Israel and even supported a resolution recently that was sponsored by Lindsey Graham.

And the man basically also supports funding Neo-Nazis in Ukraine.

These issues are very divisive to the people that he is trying to pander to.

The man with joint problem and heart disease won't revolt like the man with high cardio tolerance and muscle density.

It's a lot less than it used to be before Pepsi came into their own, but it's still a ludicrous, unthinkably-large amount of money for a beverage company to be able to use to influence the government.

Whatever beverage you buy from the store, chances are it's Coca-Cola or Pepsi afflicted. I do feel that they get their top dollar FROM soft drinks. I think Coca-Cola is even partnered with McDonald's for their fountain drinks.

From the earlier tweets, it appears that some people are PAID to go against the EBT/SNAP soda restrictions as it could cut into Big Soda's bottom line.

 

[DeathfatFag]

"The average SNAP (food stamp) benefit per person is estimated to be around $187 per month" according to google.

Just checked the Walmart website. Two pounds of frozen corn/peas/mixed veggies? $2.50. 5-6 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts? $12. A pound of ground beef? $5. 10 pounds of russet potatoes? $5. 18 large white eggs for $7, and a package of bacon for $5. A 3 pound bag of apples for $4. I even set my preferred store to one in NYC, just in case the prices were higher in the city.

There's literally no reason not to restrict food stamps to real food. Not only is it cheaper, but it's healthier, and it supports our nation's farmers.

Food deserts, bodega cats, something something. And in closing, RACIST.

 

[The Last Stand]

I heard that RFK Jr. wanted Coca-Cola to change their recipe to use cane sugar as a healthier alternative. At least with that claim, you cannot say that RFK Jr. is working with Big Soda for his policies. Trump, however, with his love of Diet Coke... well, he can afford it I guess.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Food deserts, bodega cats, something something. And in closing, RACIST.

Even convenience stores have good options hidden in corners. Like Milk and Bananas. Also, if there was actually a demand for things like Salads and wat not, they would absolutely sell it.

 

[Thomas Talus]

I'm tired of hearing about the Poors.

Total Poor Death.

WTF is even poor?

Since I don't see half naked starving niggers begging for food on the sidewalks on a regular basis?

Like working poor or homeless poor or poor people who maxed out credit cards buying shit from shitmart?

I'm getting tired of the poor poor talk.

Feels like a grift or neverending charade like Aid to Israel or reparations for baboons.

The bottom quintile you will always have with you.
