So what happens when the Federal government can’t issue Nov Food Stamps?

Hopefully this pushes the shutdown to an end. It doesn’t matter if people think they deserve it or not. You can’t mess with people’s food money with very little notice. Sh*t is going to hit the fan.

Please send help, I had to eat "batch cooked slop" for lunch again today, not even fit for a SNAP recipient. Homemade carrot ginger soup, very cheap to make with carrots from Aldi (about 1.50 for a package), onions (1.50 from aldi), powdered ginger, and homemade broth (I save all my veggie scraps so basically free), plus a homemade roll (also super cheap to make).

Later on kid and I will enjoy a dinner of pasta and and more "slop", batch cooked pasta sauce from the freezer (base of canned tomato sauce plus ground beef, spices, as well as some other veggies I had laying around that I "snuck" in after roasting and pureeing, carrots, peppers, and onions).

We get it. You're better than poor people. Can we stay on topic now?

There was a well dressed lady in front of me at the grocery store. She was paying with food stamps. Half of the stamps didn't cover the food and drinks. Seem like I was there a long time. When I was done with the cashier I went out to the parking lot to load my groceries in the car and I saw that lady who paid with food stamps driving a black Mercedes S 550. A hundred thousand dollar car. I said to myself, wow, she got over on the government.

We get it, you are too dumb to demand that the government do productive things with your tax money. Are you going to batching your own heirloom penicillin so that you can donate your tax money to the wealthy instead of getting healthcare?

Trump 2028 slogan:

“MAGA, discount shopping to protect billionaire pedophiles.”

Of course, I’m assuming that you pay taxes.

How many jobs you pulling down?

From someone with parents who refused to apply for food stamps or free/reduced lunch even though we qualified, I'll tell you I would have given a lot for some ground beef and spices. There was no money in the spice budget for anything but salt/pepper/garlic and onion powders.

Now we are 1% and I'm donating to both local food pantries as well as a couple in my hometown.

I've been "poor people" haha. That is why I know it is possible to feed yourself a diet pretty low in processed foods economically without spending all your time in the kitchen. Of course the arguments against this keep moving around as the thread goes on. Once the idea that poor people don't have kitchens and any time at all to cook get refuted, then it's "batch cooked food is gross." Come onnn

Lmao, this is totally real.

Well, I saw two MAGAs taking about their 2026 fantasy pedo draft.

Any guesses on who the #1 pick was?

It’s on topic. Everyone can cook. Even poor people

Oh, if only those poors would work an extra half hour a day! Then they’d all be UMC and we could abolish SNAP!

Absurd.

People seem to have lost the plot but I think the original argument was over whether poor people have time to cook or not.

Perhaps that is the case, but hours worked/day or week does not take into account any caregiving responsibilities, including kids -> school, etc.

Are you under the impression that people who drive nice cars can't lose their job and need help?

The thread is about food stamps being cut off, not about cooking.

And we ALL can find ourselves needing some help.
