[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this works when the stove in your crappy apartment breaks and you’re scared to tell the landlord because if he comes in he’ll know you have more than the allowed number of occupants in your place.

Or when you have a slumlord who won’t deal with the mouse and/or roach infestation so you can’t store any food in bulk. [/quote]

I'm shocked there aren't more people making excuses. WaPost and NY times has been pushing this whacky stuff for years.

" [b]Poor people are starving" Really, they sure as hell don't look like it.[/b]

"Poor people eat bad food because it's the only joyful thing in their sad life" Really, these people don't know about true poverty. These people are doing great compared to the poor in other countries.

"Poor people live in a food desert" Ah ok, seem to be doing pretty good for living in the middle of a "desert." And they can't drive anywhere because no spark plugs. And spark plugs on backorder, Amazon can't deliver. And bus driver called off sick. And friends and family have covid. Kid has ADHD and can't drive. And they only sell Twinkies at the grocery store so what do you expect them to eat. [/quote]

There’s so many ignorant tells in your post, but this is The one I’m going to point out.

Starving and malnourished are completely different things. Many people experiencing poverty and food insecurity  ARE starving for food that actually nourishes their brains and bodies. Calories aren’t the problem, government subsidies take care of that.

It’s so clear based on this post and so many others that this is another issue that the extremely privileged group DCUM refuses to understand, and that’s not can’t understand, that’s refuses to understand, until Thanksgiving comes and they need a volunteer opportunity for them and their kids to share on Insta. The poors are there solely to make you feel superior about your “choices” and position in life, until
You need them to feel humble about how #blessed you are, even though you hate that hashtag. [/quote]

Why don’t you put some facts in your posts instead of lecturing people? Back it up. How many people in the US are starving or malnourished? Not living in a food desert but clinically undernourished.[/quote]
