The tax burden of benefits extended to those below the poverty line is less than the tax burden of subsidies and tax cuts for the rich. The middle class is getting fucked but it’s not poor people fucking us.

[-]

Chadzuma@reddit

Poor people not being obese leads to an indirect reduction in public health spending as well long term, not that they care about waiting long term to gut medicaid it seems

[-]

youngnacho@reddit

I agree that less junk food would have a positive net outcome but I disagree that it’s the government’s job to force that outcome through these means. It’s an overreach imo

DrKoofBratomMD@reddit

It’s the government’s money why can’t they spend it on what they want

youngnacho@reddit

Constitution says Congress decides where and how money is spent, not the executive branch doing whatever they want through executive order.

[-]

DrKoofBratomMD@reddit

youngnacho@reddit

Until congress gets together and codifies point A, point B is irrelevant.

Just because the government is doing fuck shit you agree with doesn’t mean it’s not doing fuck shit.

The government telling people on SNAP they’re going to have to get type II diabetes on their own dime is one of the better things this administration has done has done

[-]

GelekW@reddit

See: facts don’t care about your feelings. He doesn’t have the official authority to do what he’s doing. But it’s nice to see that citizens like you are granting federal govt. extra power because you agree with him emotionally.

[-]

CaptainKickAss3@reddit

I don’t really care who does it lmao

[-]

GelekW@reddit

Let’s consider your original comment before you edited it, “I don’t really care who does it lmao.” We know, because you’re obviously more emotional than logic-leaning. The “who” is pretty important when considering political power dynamics. You’d be better off if you took more educated stances.
Since you’re changing your stance on a dime let’s argue on it anyways. Congress should be the one to amend Food and Nutrition Act. Trump and his MAHA admin, is using a loophole of state demonstration projects to approve and deny new waivers to individual states. It’s still federal funding, and SHOULD be approved by congress.

But conservatives don’t care about the balance of federal power if their boy has it.

[-]

CaptainKickAss3@reddit

If you’re going to be smug at least be right

Individual states are filing waivers with the USDA and these measures have nothing to do with federal policies.

[-]

GelekW@reddit

Did you read 2? The waivers are a way to get around actually going through congress to amend federal funding in the program.

I should probably mention I agree with the changes. Anti-junk isn’t a partisan issue. Remember Michelle Obama school lunch campaign?

This issue is going around congress to change rules around federal funding through the executive branch. That’s the point I’m making. Your response was “I don’t care because it’s the changes I like.” I consider that a problem (despite myself also wishing America was healthier). That’s the only point I am making.

[-]

CaptainKickAss3@reddit

states on the same political wing

Ah yes, the republican stronghold of Colorado

[-]

GelekW@reddit

I think you’re misunderstanding what federal vs state money is, and why congress holds the power to allocate federal money and not the president.

(Hint: one of the two is a collective room of representatives of each state agreeing on how to allocate federal money, and the other is a single person who represents only the federal govt.)

[-]

CaptainKickAss3@reddit

I’ve yet to see you explain how states seeking these waivers is effective the federal budget. If you’re talking about the BBB that’s an entirely separate issue to these waivers

[-]

GelekW@reddit

The federal govt.passed a bill in 2008 that established SNAP and EBT. They passed it without restrictions on food items. They allowed for experimental waiver applications by states to run essentially tests on how to improve SNAP.

What you’re seeing now is abuse of that clause, with USDA under current admin misusing these waivers to essentially pass nationwide policy amendments for SNAP without having to amend the bill via congress.

I feel like I’ve explained this 10x and you’re not understanding. What you’re viewing as states gaining getting power, is really just the federal administration shortcutting past state representatives (congress) to pass policy that aligns with his admin.

[-]

Eryomama@reddit

Ya they aren’t welcoming of this change on the foodstamps sub but I’m all for it, it’s like EBT was setup to cater to parents who would rather put very little effort into their children’s diet and just buying snacks and bullshit to give them instead of taking time to portion out whole foods. It’s literally cheaper and healthier in the long run to buy real food. The argument I saw was it’s discriminatory to people that don’t have access or space to cook/prepare meals but I think that’s silly just perpetuates this the idea that low income should coincide with shitty liftyle habits.

[-]

DrKoofBratomMD@reddit

BraveSquirrel@reddit

what depression? Or are you saying we just need to wait two more weeks, and the depression will start any day now? Trust me bro

[-]

youngnacho@reddit

Dollar down 12% since January, drop in US credit rating, exploding budget deficit, and antagonistic trade policy don’t bode well for stability and growth.

I’m not saying it’s definitely going to happen but economic policy seems to be increasing the risk of it happening without any sort of benefit to be realized by the average person.

[-]

CaptainKickAss3@reddit

The dollar being down is great for exporters (which is the entire point) and has nothing to do with a depression

[-]

youngnacho@reddit

Oh, are we doing currency manipulation with the global reserve currency now?

And weaker dollar would be alright for exports, in a vacuum. But many exporters still have to import raw materials so it would balance out. But with tariffs on top of a worsening exchange rate it doesn’t seem to be balancing out there either.

Tell you what though, the trade policy is fantastic if you know when the tariffs will come and go and make your positions ahead of the market

EBT is the only explanation for why suddenly a bag of Doritos costs $9 while the organic hippie brands costs $4. Those prices used to be reversed. Biden's handlers must have went crazy with spending limits while no one was looking.

[-]

GelekW@reddit

This is essentially my diet + lean beef + turkey + bread

Obviously more cost effective than this image but my grocery bills are still retarded. I think pointing at the person and calling them fat + poor still ignores the problem of grocery unaffordability

[-]

dom_optimus_maximus@reddit

beef, fish and store bought bread are significantly more expensive than chicken and rice. I said nothing about anyone being fat, its about caloric richness for cost.

[-]

GelekW@reddit

I wasn’t using beef as a hill for poor people to die on. I was sharing that my diet has crossover with what you suggested, and I can tell you they’re still expensive
Rice and chicken isn’t a holistic diet. It’s survival. But the original point of the SNAP changes are to be healthy. Wouldn’t that imply a healthy holistic ingredients diet is affordable? (It isn’t)
Specifying store bought bread is odd. You gotta bake your own bread if you’re poor? Cmon lol

[-]

ballsackcancer@reddit

Chicken is too much if you're poor. Should be beans or lentils instead.

You need to be a special kind of poor to be too poor for chicken. Like, africa poor.

Practical_Trade4084@reddit

In all seriousness, if you're having trouble eating on a budget

don't buy processed foods

no alcohol. no soft drinks.

pVom@reddit

An air fryer has been a game changer for me. Just buy the raw premarinaded stuff from the supermarket, bang it in the air fryer, push some buttons, jerk off or something while it cooks.

I can chuck something in the air fryer and chop up a salad/steamed veggies in less time that it takes me to pick something on uber eats and it's fresh and ready to go in less time than uber eats arrives and costs less than half the price.

[-]

CuTTyFL4M@reddit

Indeed, if rule one would is "buy unprocessed stuff", rule two would be "learn to cook", but that's beyond thinking of fancy, elaborate dishes. An oven and a pot are your best friend. You can make a shit load of stuff in one sitting, and sometimes it's as easy as dumping 4 or 5 ingredients with very little prep. It's that simple really.

Cooking ain't hard, it's mostly "do you have the ingredients and the tools for the job": lasagna for example is super easy to make, the result is great and the investment isn't that high. Baked meals are easy: potatoes and many vegetables go well together to be roasted in the oven for an hour. Throw a chunk of meat in a pot and get yourself a tasty stew. You get a hefty meal for very little effort, and bonus points for eating cleaner food. It's certainly fun to eat pizza and stuff all the time, but it's one of the biggest scam ever. You can make your favorite delivery meals at home for cheaper and yet bigger amounts and cut the awful stuff (extra butter, too much oil etc).

You just need to try the recipes to get it right, it's not complicated.

[-]

greedybanker3@reddit

cooking well enough for others is hard. cooking to not starve is easy. bag of veggies. bowl of rice. heat some meat. and look at that some decent food.

[-]

SouthernMainland@reddit

Honestly even cooking well enough for others is pretty easy most of the time. Friends and family aren't about to put you on blast for not making Michelin star dinner.

[-]

CuTTyFL4M@reddit

Oh yes, definitely. Personnally I go out of my way to make something fancy nice when I get people over, it's an occasion. But on otherwise I just mind the quantities to get enough protein and calories. That's about it. I used to eat one meal a day at some point, helped me maintain weight and keep things simple, but now I've been working out for a couple months, so I have to be a bit more invested about what I cook on the daily. Adds a bit of mental load but the rewards are worth the effort. There's a bit of "throw this and that to feed yourself" going, but I've been experimenting and implementing worthwhile foods like avocado, liver etc.

[-]

greedybanker3@reddit

airfryer has been a godsend for me. it can do everything. so easy and quick too.

[-]

MannerShark@reddit

Cheapest brand possible is iffy depending on where you live. When I was in the US recently I made the mistake of picking the cheapest option and it was disgusting. it's like there is no minimum standard, if you pick the cheapest thing it gets to the level of dog food. In the EU, go ahead, there are standards and the cheapest brand is often just repackaging with a couple ingredients replaced. I'm pretty sure the stuff I ate in the US are illegal to sell on the other side of the ocean.

Yes it’s a choice that costs the American taxpayer even more money down the road

I’m also not sure why you think more calories = good when those calories have zero nutritional value and when the average American needs to eat less calories not more

[-]

BakeParty5648@reddit

This isn't about me. Ultra processed foods provide more calories on the dollar than whole foods. When youre broke and hungry it matters.

I know how to cook and am decent at it but cooking for yourself just fucking sucks man. I just finished meal prepping for the week and it took me like 4 hours between the grocery store, cooking, and cleaning up.

Second lunch. He’s a big boy, ok?

[-]

pVom@reddit

I spend like 5 minutes a day prepping meals. Shopping once a week is like 2 hours, most of which is driving there and back because I live remote.

You need to make stuff that requires less effort, all my meals are pretty basic and set and forget. Chuck something in the air fryer, a couple minutes chopping vegetables, set an alarm and walk away.

Another tip of you prep for the week is to make far in excess for what you need and then put it in ziplock bags and flatten and freeze it. Make something different the next week and so on before long you've got a variety of different meals to choose from and can even take a week off or whatever.

Generally I don't prep for the week though I just make it as I need it and the stuff I make doesn't require a heap of work.

[-]

iiTryhard@reddit

Yea I mean if all I ever wanted to eat was chicken rice and broccoli that would be easy, but I just get so bored doing that. I unfortunately live close to about a dozen very good restaurants all within a 5 minute walk so that shit is always tempting me

[-]

pVom@reddit

I mean yeah it would but there's tonnes of other options that are as easy as putting the ingredients in a pot or something and walking away. Chilli con carne, stew, curry, roast. Pick up some different vegetables and have chicken rice and, I dunno, asparagus and string beans. Put some different sauce in it, soy sauce, sweet chilli, curry, Bolognese. Expand your repertoire. And occasionally treat yourself to something that requires effort when you feel like putting the effort in.

Admittedly I started getting way better at it because I didn't have a choice but I wouldn't go back given the option now.

[-]

ouiouisurmoi@reddit

But that Chipotle right there is was kills peoples' budgets. $12 x 5 (ish) work days x 4 weeks is $240 just for lunch each month.

Worth it if you can afford it though, don't want you to Kurt Nobrain yourself.

McWeaksauce91@reddit

When my wife and I were reallyyyyyyy grinding to get out of debt so we could buy a house, we spent our Saturday mornings grocery shopping. We went to 3-4 different stores for various items. Such as CVS for toiletries, TJ’s for dinner stuff, and sprouts for veggies. We actually had it down to a science what was cheapest where. My wife also became a massive couponer/deal hustler. Now adays so many coupons are digits, you don’t have to walk around with a Pokémon card style case.

We also cooked all our meals and deleted doordash/uber eats/ and other such things. Ontop of eating better and cleaner, which made us feel better - we also saved a fuck ton of money. We own a house now, which I don’t want to say is because we grocery shopped smartly, but little money = big money eventually.

Honestly, I’m grateful for that period in my life(few years ago at this point). It really taught me the value of the dollar and instilled some great financial discipline for me.

Take out all the sweets and sugar. Remove the protein bars and other ready made garbage. Add about 6 boxes of pasta (any shape), a few 6 or 12 packs of ramen, small bag of rice, some veggies(include a small bag of lemons), a dozen eggs and lean meat.

Your bill will be the same or cheaper.

The solution to adding veggies when you can't cook for shit is to roast them in the oven. Put them in an oven safe pan, drizzle them with lemon juice/salt/pepper, pull them out before they start to lose all their juiciness. Zuchini are phenomenal for this and i highly suggest this as Robots first home cooked veggie. Add a starch (pasta or rice or ramen), add a small cut of meat or an egg. Do this and you'll be eating so much better than the fatty who buys pre-made shit and expensive white person mocchi.

I can get costco 18 pack of premium ramen for 18$ and 24 eggs for 5$

at roughly 20 cents per egg and 1$ per ramen packet, i can get a meal for 1.40$

Free eggs and a feather pillow, though, and an occational chicken dinner make it livable.

The DNC deleted a Tweet shortly after posting it that showed the drastic increase in grocery prices under Biden.

Yep, blaming Trump while blatantly ignoring that prices skyrocketed under the Biden admin.

It always makes me think of this.

WTF is this premium luxury junk food? Hazelnut cookies? Mochi Ice Cream? Broccoli Bites? Organic Spring Mix?

You're buying "Spoiled Karen with a $120k Salesman Husband" snacks. It's supposed to cost $63, that's how the stores make extra money from rich people who don't budget. I assume you bought the fancy organic name brands deliberately to enable this as rage bait, because if you were trying you could get near identical stuff for half the price or less.

I can’t fathom why I am still shocked the average American actually eats like that

wow 63$ will serve me well for several months. Even though I live in a poor fifth world country, I rarely have the chance to have $63.

Yeah of course, if you’re a big fat idiot and only buy fully processed, name brand food, it’s expensive. Learn to cook from scratch really well, and your life will be 10x easier. You’ll save money, eat way better tasting food, and you’ll be way healthier than pretty much any other alternative. Buying protein bars and individually wrapped frozen burritos and then complaining about the bill is tiny brain energy.

And even if you can’t cook, rice and beans and veggies have barely increased in price the last 10 years. Recession-proof your diet and live forever, fatties. Almost everyone I know who complains about food prices 75+ lbs overweight and absolutely dumb as hell.

Any of these types of "look at my grocery haul for X dollars" that doesn't include a 20 pound sack of rice and beans I can't take seriously.

That's Aldi brand stuff.

If you can't make $60 last you several weeks, that's on you. Rice and beans, PB&J, potatoes, and some spices might not be glamorous, but they'll last you a long ass time if you spend wisely.
