High quality food isnt fucking expensive. Some comedian did a bit on it that was funny (maybe Bill Burr). Buy some fucking eggs, hard boil them and get some vegetables and bag of legumes. Even on food stamps you can live healthier than 90 percent of Americans if you want to.
And if you are poor, dont live in a blue state like California that rapes its citizens with taxes every chance it can get.
I'm saying they are poor so they are forced to eat shit food mcdonalds wendys and burger kingQuote:

This is why they are fat not because they have so much money they can afford to eat as much as they like.
social security problem will be solved by obesity cus these fat hicks won't live long enough to collect it
I'd rather make more and pay higher taxes than make less and pay less. Wouldn't you? You still falling for the old GOP lower taxes BULLSHIT? They been feeding you guys this shit for years.....Quote:

It has nothing to do about fucking money. If you can afford McDonalds you can afford a healthy meal. The issue is education and schools dont teach shit about basic nutrition. One should learn in school basic nutrition and how to make basic meals. that would go a long way.Quote:

You need tax dollars to pay for better schools and to hire better teachers but you don't want to pay taxes right? So what is it? less taxes = stupid and fat or is it more taxes so we can hire good teachers to teach our kids the basic food pyramid
You can't have both.
All our taxes are going towards corporate welfare which is GOP SPONSORED

lol at these food items. You think everyone should be entitled to Whole Food type groceries? Why not just throw a lobster tail in there and argue that poor people cant afford and something needs to change ?
We pay a shitload already for schools and they have terrible results compared to home schooling and private schools that cost less. I get that both sides love to argue we need more money for education but it is a total fraud.
Life, liberty and Zod style kobe beef filets.
Yes I think everyone in the wealthiest country in the world should be able to eat high quality food not just rich people.
A big mac should cost $15
Wild caught fish should cost what a big mac currently costs
When you go to Canada or Europe and eat breakfast they bring out fresh fruit with your eggs. When is the last time you ate breakfast at BK they brought you out fresh fruit?
This is typical Leftist utopia thinking that doesn't exist in the world. Europe is expensive as fuck and their poor people do not live anywhere near the quality of life the rich do.Quote:

They do not have a fast food restaurant on every corner like they do in America and most of the people are smart enough to know better to not eat that shit anyways.
I'm not some hard core 'leftist" btw but i'm paying attention to what cocksuckers like Paul Ryan and Steve Mnuchin are doing to our once great country.

I don't like welfare queens either and can't stand our tax dollars getting sucked up by them but I'd rather give it to them than some fortune 500 company.
I'd prefer neither got any of it if I had my way.

Dumbass! With the agriculture subsidies that favor large corporate farms and low protein grains, the federal government heavily subsidizes the production of calorie-rich nutritionally-questionable foods.Quote:

Even with that, it isnt fucking expensive to eat healthy if you know what you are doing.
The "healthy" and "organic" food is marked up because rich hippy types from the big city will pay for it.
The barrier to healthy eating habits is not cost -- its taste and convenience.
Most people (like all animals) gravitate towards what tastes best, and also what's easiest to obtain/make. This makes fast food and other junk appealing.
If it were a money issue, there wouldn't be so many fat poor people in the US, as they wouldn't be able to afford to overeat. Instead, poorer people in the US tend to be more likely to be obese.
The US can only fight the obesity epidemic with a cultural shift -- much like the way there was a cultural shift against cigarettes, and now tobacco smoking is way down compared to a few decades ago.
This is true but it's also not true. It is a money issue because processed food is cheap, low in nutritional value but high in calories. It also affects the brain in a manner similar to drugs and is addictive (especially sugary foods). It is also a money issue because preparing healthy food is time-consuming, especially if you want it to taste good, and time is a luxury the working poor don't have, contrary to popular belief. You can get a Big Mac in 2 minutes.Quote:

But when it comes to food, the government massively subsidizes the raw inputs for processed foods, like sugar, corn and soy. It should be processing whole vegetables, fruits and healthier grains instead.
Not only a cultural shift. Higher taxes on tobacco products definitely have helped reduce smoking over the decades. We need the federal government to change which agricultural products it subsidizes. For example, the corn subsidies are especially pernicious because they sponsor the production of low quality, high fat beef and artificial sweeteners relative to free range beef and fruits and vegatables.Quote:

I have 12 volt cooler in mine, which helps, but it’s still a major planning chore to be able to find a Walmart I can stop at along the way to stock up on fruit and veggies.
Otherwise, a crappy red delicious apple, which have good shelf life but are poor nutritionally, typically costs about $1 at a truck stop store. And a small cup of some cut veggies/fruit costs usually are $3.50 each, and sometimes 2 for $5.00. Meanwhile, 2 hot dogs/brats/sausages, which you can usually slather with chili and some condiments, sometimes sauerkraut, typically costs about the same as that single pitiful little cup of veggies/fruit. But if a McDonalds is nearby, you can get a Big Mac, which has over 1100 calories and a decent amount of protein among all those shitty carbs, typically costs less than $5.00. But if you got the 2 veggie/cups for $5.00, you’d still be seriously short of the amount of protein you can get in a Big Mac. Which means you gotta fund some other convenient source of cheap protein in lieu of the Big Mac burger patties, such as those hot dogs, which also contain more saturated fats.
So, after several days of eating those hot dogs or burgers, with the occasional ovepriced veggie/fruit cup, you opt for the all-you-can-eat soup and salad bar. Or the full buffet if you want hot food other than soup.
And fuck the diet! I ain’t leaving until I get my money’s worth!!!
I’ve always thought the government should open healthy fast food drive thrus with the goal of breaking even. I would guess with the buying power of the government they could sell you a great salad or healthy wrap for $1.50, pay labor, and break even, but I have no idea if this supposition is correct. Has anyone encountered a foreign government try this? It seems the most progressive countries are also the thinnest countries, thus I’ve never seen it in practice.
So much of the problem is price and convienence, but it’s also that you walk into a take out or go through a fast food drive thru and it’s $12 for a salad, or $6 at fast food restaurant, and $7 for a burger or you can buy 3 double cheeseburgers for $5. Unless you have real willpower, it’s just super hard to pay way more to eat healthy and get so much less food.
A government run fast food joint that breaks even has to be busy, and therefore would be lowering health care costs. You’d also only be undercutting very limited items against your competition, thus it wouldn’t be that unfair to competing businesses.
I’ve always thought it would be an interesting experiment, and way better value than the billions dropped on nonsense by the government.
This would be a great idea if the government could do anything efficiently.Quote:

So.... we've got this "Trump said immigrants are animals" controversy, which is pretty much a prime example of how the left can't help itself when it comes to attacking Trump unfairly.
Here we have a President who says and does stupid/embarrassing things on a daily basis, and the left is still resorting to unfair, untruthful, and out-of-context attacks on him.
A reporter asked Trump about the dangerous gang MS-13, and he responded by referring to them as "animals".
Immediately leftists on the internet jumped all over it, spreading the lie that Trump called illegal immigrants "animals", when it was VERY clear from the context that he was referring to MS-13.
MS-13 is an extremely violent and murderous gang, and definitely deserves the "animals" description.
Why is this stupidity even in the news?
Trump had to go as far as clarifying it today in a separate press conference.
And because of big money in politics, Congress would likely severely restrict the bargaining power of ‘Foodicare’ with its suppliers. And then the government is bleeding even more money, or Foodicare fare prices would make Whole Foods look like a bargain.Quote:

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of fruit salad.
The problem is, not every person deported by ICE is an MS-13 gang member, yet Trump still labeled all the individuals as "animals". On the other hand, Trump made it very clear that the Neo Nazi gathering in Virginia had some "very fine" people in that group. It's pretty clear Trump sees color, and its white he prefers.Quote:
