food stamp challenge

[Ruffdaddy]

I was talking to my wife about the food stamp diet and we started thinking about how hard it would actually be to eat healthy on $4.30 a day. I think that's enough to eat a technically healthier diet than 75% of the nation.

My choices would be:

Sardines
Lentils
Brussels sprouts
Crackers
Chicken
Tuna
Milk
Quinoa


I could do that for under 4.30 a day.

What would you eat?

Speaking of food stamps. This is where my tax dollars are going.

Both.

Super 1 was owned by Brookeshire's sold to Fleming corporation. Rebranded as rainbow foods. Went out of business a year later I worked for both of them. But this is fiesta in Pleasant Grove.

Not directing this at you or anyone here, but I find it weird that many people think that the only money people have to eat is what comes from food stamps. That's the very implication of the food stamp challenge. To realize, "oh, I can't eat like this. We should pay these people moar"

Hell, even the .gov calls it the SUPPLEMENTAL Nutrition ASSISTANCE program.

for fuck's sake.

There was a piece of shit employee I use to have, he would use his baby mama's WiC card to buy food for himself. "she treat me good". Not even good food, shit like gummy worms and a monster for lunch.

Dude I had the same internal debate. Figured if it could fit in all those it was general enough for here.

Soap how the hell do you know post 1864 supermarket history so well?

EASY. Start with white rice. Cheap by the pound. Second, add checken. Buy whole chickens, cut up for several meals... When I'm in a workout groove, thats pretty much what I eat. Throw in some veggies ( I like corn,peas,and carrots)...4.30 goes a long way

I fully agree with you. Its supplemental not primary.

My point is that even if you call it your only source...I can make a healthy meal 3 times a day for 4.30 so the bitching needs to quit.

I forgot to add eggs or egg substitute.

Another gay creation from social media. BTW, most of that list is on my usual list.

Same here...I just throw in a bit more fancy stuff in the evenings. I love me some swordfish and nice soups.
