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

_ an unhealthy America is billions for big pharma (tooth decay...weight gain, thyroid dysfunction, heart disease...renal disease etc)
-regulated food stamps mean less soda sold (soda is addictive sugar aspartame you name it over consumption create my first point)
_ an unhealthy population is a docile population.
You will eat the goy slop and be good money-making piggies.
 
Obviously, I'm not going to sit here and say that "why, yes, the American tax payer should pay for Tyrone's candy bars and sugar water", but I think we need to have a bigger discussion about what we consider healthy.
This has been an ongoing discussion for years. And, frankly, it's not all that important.
I don't think anyone's arguing the government should be splitting hairs on what is and isn't healthy with regard to SNAP benefits. But "where you draw the line" is hardly important in the face of obvious exclusion criteria.

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.
 
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 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.
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.

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

View attachment 7127817

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.

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.
