>Traditional Mexican Foods

I can't wait for this fucking wall.

What's a SNAP household?

>water at 18
sad!

Pc Food stamps

>What's a SNAP household?
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplemental_Nutrition_Assistance_Program

Just one of many redundant food assistance programs.

Food stamps is basically an under-the-table subsidy for Walmart, Coca-Cola, Tyson, etc.

>buying bottled water on food stamps instead of drinking from the hose

Haven't been poor before have you

poor people should have to eat a small government approved healthy ration, they clearly can't make decisions for themselves. poor people are the most obese and degenerate people in western countries.

Poorfags eat trashy garbage. Welcome to the world.

If you drink soda you're a subhuman.

I'm assuming water filters aren't covered under food stamps?

That shit is like $20 for a refill filter, $30 for a full kit, and lasts forever (the equivalent of like 700 bottles of water).

Why don't poor people buy those?

At this point it would be cheaper to have gov run food banks shipping out gov cheese and gov rice and beans than it would be to continue our absurd welfare policy.

The corn syrup in those products is already highly subsidized on top of that.

>13. Frozen Pizza

I am not surprised. Even my local Canadian Wal-Mart has a full aisle of frozen pizzas and about half of that area for the fresh fruit and veggies section.

>guys lets do socialism for everything
>we need healthcare for everyone
>food for everyone
>only buy junk food and increase pressure on healthcare

Genius. What a bunch of big guys, crashing this country with no survivors. Thank god we elected Trump

It's why niggers and Mexicans are getting so fat. They eat all this shit for free.

nigga its hard to remember to refill the container

Government should ban the use of staps in certain foods like sodas, candies and snacks.

I agree with you

That would be socialism since it doesn't stimulate the economy :^)

>infant formula
Foodstamp people buy 3x as much

It's a cultural thing that has to do with money. Once white incomes and education started rising they started wanting to be more fit and skinny for their fancy clothes and instagram posts.

Poorer people just want to survive and view a few pounds as no big deal. Interestingly once these same people get wealthier their preferences often change.

That said, there is some strange shit happening culturally in the black female demographics in the US where they tend to be more willing to put on and retain weight than normal. I have no idea.

When they're the uneducated masses, and the EBT/SNAP program doesn't include HEALTHY FOOD, what the fuck else are they supposed to do?

Fuck drug tests, we need glucose tests for welfare recipients

>I have no idea.
It's 100% body issues.

Imagine how fast they'd get jobs if government aid was limited to something like
>1 time fish and meat per week
>whole grain products
>vegetables and some fruits
>some dairy products and eggs
>water

Soda is legitimately disgusting

I'm glad I dropped it out of my life

>making sure that the poor get fed, but not make it comfortable enough where becoming a welfare queen is lucrative.
>that's socialism, goy

That's probably an actual argument that cuckservatives use, too

>>infant formula
My understanding is that its worth a lot of money and can be returned to another store in exchange for cash.

>people are unemployed because they don't want to work

Because a majority of foodstamp people are shitty single mothers who are too fucking lazy to breastfeed.

No fruit or vegetables, no ingredients for cooking.

>fill up cup from the fridge pitcher filter system
>notice water is low, probably not enough filtered water in the bottom for a complete glass of water
>"guess that's a problem for future me"
>put it back in the fridge without filling up the top reservoir

>Traditional Mexican Foods

But but but invading spic faggots don't use food stamps!

>eggs/muffins/potatoes
What an odd group to put together.

And while these foreigners and niggers are living off the fat of the land, I'm denied food stamps even though I'm going to school full time and have a disability: bipolar disorder.

I'm so fucking mad right now

It's crazy to me how willing poor people are to suck down liters of soda every fucking day. I live near Philadelphia which recently passed a hefty soda tax, and most of the outrage over the tax came from people on food stamps or are of low income. Why are so many people happy to destroy their health with shit like soda?

It is, but it's not a false statement. Welfare programs that pay for goods and services are essentially a form of economic stimulus through redistribution.

You can agree with it or not but that doesn't make the statement wrong.

>everyone who eats Mexican food is an illegal immigrant

Stop being poor. Encourage their kids to go to school instead of be useless lazy niggers and spics.

But I forgot we oppressed them into making shitty life choices so you're right :-(

People are unemployed because they lack incentive to work. If you can have all the food, smartphones, computers and a warm home provided by the goverent why work at all? You're better off than 80 or so % of the world population. Compare that to what it was like a little more than a decade ago. No job, savings or family to help you? You're shit outta luck, better find a warm bridge to sleep below.

Is this kek speaking to us?

I actually dropped drinking sodas, but still drink cold teas (I know that is basically the same shit).

Stupidity and addiction

Cheap filters don't work if you have genuinely cruddy water.

Fuck off, BPD isn't a neurodegenerative disorder, you aren't handicapped, you just have mental health problems. You don't get a fucking cripplespot hangtag just because it'll validate you either.

Thanks Kek, anything else I need to drop immediately?

chekt

We need to get rid of the food stamp problem and replace it with food kitchens.

We can reuse the food served at prisons.

>poor people are to suck down liters of soda every fucking day.
20 years ago the fattest Mexican kid in my elementary school brought his own 2 liter bottle of soda for lunch daily.

>traditional Mexican foods
kek

Not a single mexican will ever eat taco bell, nachos or other stuff you call "mexican food"

>THE CORPORATIONS ARE MAKING TOO MUCH MOMEY!!
>proceed to give your welfare money to big corporations

Dumbfuckistan it is.

you can't even focus your rhetoric to say something coherent. This is just a generalist rant about entitlement.

It's a retarded system, the same over here. Do nothing for decades, government will care for you. Study to make something out of your live? You won't get help unless your parents live below the poverty line.

You're totally right.

Auditory hallucinations, sudden behavioral and mental shifts and crippling depression due to hardwired chemical imbalances in my brain are totally not any form of disability.

I hope you die in a horrific fucking way

I have absolutely no problem with that, currently holding coca-cola.

More like how do these cardless invading immigrants get food stamps in the first place?

Yeah! You tell em, fruit loop!

Read that again, you don't have fucking parkinsons, you are not disabled, you're just some self absorbed cunt who's trying to turn this into special snowflake validation hour. Fuck off.

so with all the other nazis on this board, now we have the Diet Nazi
would you think that the soft drink corporations lobbied this into the regulations? To have access to these customers and funds?

Could a thought like that possibly enter your 15 year old mind?
anyway who gives a flying fuck
t. The Nazi nazi

>tfw used to drink a 2 liter of Sprite almost every night for my whole senior year of high school
>got fat as fuck
>also found out about kidney stones

I quit soda years ago and I live much more healthily now, but I think I'm still gonna get fucked by kidney stones later in my life.

>conservative rag
>jew york times

really made me think

they're the only vegetables on the list

>I don't have to address the points that were raised, I'll just try to give a witty response

The WIC program (Women, Infants, and Chilren) gives out checks which must be used for specific listed items. It is a much better program, but is basically a supplement program.

Unfortunately, more could work than you would think. If you compare statistics from the LDS and Catholic charities to government programs you see that people receiving full assistance (rent, utility, and nutrition) from a church program are back on their feet within six months. People on food stamps are often lifers.

Why is this? Because both church programs require monthly meetings for goal setting and followup. Accountability forces the recipient to consider every option available to them and gain independence.

With Nutrition Assistance, you have to submit how much money you make every six months. If you are below a threshold you automatically qualify. Worse, it has a dropoff cliff at around $2,200 where a family of four receiving $600 of food assistance a month suddenly receives nothing if they earn more. A lot of families will intentionally not earn more so they can keep the benefit. There are several tax cliffs that result in the same thing, where people will earn less because they net out better.

Entire program is fucky.

This

There's nothing to respond to, you replied to me by validating what I said earlier, that you believe people don't work because they don't want to. Then you started soapboxing about entitlements like Sup Forums was standing around waiting to give you a high five.

Well pizza is a vegetable, according to americans.

snap is a socialist program anyway... they used to give out government cheese back in the day. i agree with handing out food over SNAP. i watched a black lady buy Reese's and slim jims at the gas station with food stamps a few weeks ago. sad!

My buddies uncle has literally turned down job offers because it woul mean his government checks would stop coming in. If you think these people don't exist your fooling yourself.

>poor people
>planning ahead
>taking the time to make informed decisions

they're poor for a reason, user

what are 'beef grinds'?

Or just drink it from the sink like everyone else...

...

I'm glad I gave up the carbonated jew.

in any case, as someone whose struggled and is struggling to get on SSI (fuck me for being a mentally disabled white guy, right?), the whole welfare thing, especially for people who aren't even citizens of this country, tends to piss me off.

>walking home from night class
>find super long receipt on the ground
>fuck it - nobody's around and it's a long walk
>entire thing is just filled with junk food - literally Doritos and Mountain Dew
>somebody bought more than 100 dollars worth of Doritos and Mountain Dew
>get to the very bottom
>"Paid for with EBT"

As my leftist family member always contends "nobody would do that, its too embarrassing."

Beverage companies employ lots of Americans so it all works out

>tfw no soda
>don't feel pains
>eat green drinks,oats,and wheat grass,some eggs too
>take vitamins
>feel good

I know its a /ck/ meme but where is the rice and beans? No vegetables or fruits.

Is this going to turn into an anecdote circle jerk?

free market faggots will defend this.

The truth is that usually the older and wiser people tried to prevent the youths and dumber people from doing too dumb stuff. And they failed.

They basically allowed a drug peddler in the form of a soda company destroy the health of much of the new generation.

Not wanting to work and having no incentive to do so are totally the same

Soft drinks are cheaper than juice tho

>drink it from the sink
I'm always struck by how no Mexican will do this. They all buy or refill those 5 gallon bottled water jugs. Yet they probably drink from the tap in Mexico.

Rice and beans are WIC items, and most people with EBT also receive WIC checks. No need to pay for them when the gubmint just sends you checks for free items.

If you're able to go to school full time it clearly isn't.

>have a disability: bipolar disorder.

You sound like someone with parkinsons.

and you deserve every second of hell, you fucking faggot

I'm laughing at you, and your inevitable descent into the third ring of hell

You fucking deserve it

If you want to save face and argue simple semantics at this point, you can go ahead and do that, but I won't be a party to it beyond this reply. Sad.

No, it's about American poor people.

We have the highest number of obese "poor people" in the world because we give them free shit.

As everyone knows, poor people are poor because of bad decisions.

They drink soda because "it tastes good", also the reason lobster and steaks sell out on food stamp/EBT day. Those stores don't carry healthy food because the poor people wouldn't buy it even it was free.

You're saying ... that poor people ... spend 1.44% more on carbonated drinks than normal people?

My mind is fucking blown. A whopping 1.44%. Holy fucking shit this says ... like ... so many profound things ... and stuff.

A large 2 liter costs 68 cents

1. being cheaper is not an excuse
2. juice (even the all natural ones) always have sugar in them and poor people especially should watch their sugar intake because tooth decay an' shit. unlike, soda you don't need to cut completely from your life but one should definitely be careful of the amount of juice they have in a month.
3.have some fucking water

>traditional Mexican foods

LEL

>Being cheaper is not an excuse

It is when your on fucking foodstamps you dumb faggot

No, I'm just a health care provider who spends most of his work day on an ortho floor with actual "disabled" people.

They probably don't, though. Speaking as a fellow thirdie, drinking water from the tap is kind of a foreign concept.

Niggers can't into economy
