Why can't I hold all these expensive limes.

This is what happens when a rich person doesn't have the slightest clue about what foods to buy when you're on a budget.
Looks like she just went into the first store she came across and picked up completely random stuff without even knowing why.
>>78855248
Bitch should have gone to walmart instead of whole foods.
>>78855736
Protons yes. But very little protein. Avacados are primarily a fat, beans do have a wee bit of protein but they're more carbs than anything else.
>>78855248
>buying fresh cilantro this week and a small bag of rice and beans instead of skipping the herbs to buy a bulk bag of one or the other, saving money over time

>All that Bullshit
Get some rice, beans, potatoes, chicken, rice, and eggs.
Most of that shit she got you don't need, they're just ingredients to make some meal, when you're in SNAP you don't make really delicious meals, you get your nutrition
>hurr durr I'm a dumb slut I need 7 (seven(2*3.5)) limes
>>78855875
got the basic ingredients though, 7 limes for no reason, but corn, beans, rice, and chicken is all you need for a nice week of food since burritos never get old.
As some one making six figures and pays taxes I have no problem with my money going toward needy families. Its the endless wars of the jews thats the problem.

>>78856152
Oranges are cheaper than limes
Yeah bullshit. Every coon on food stamps I've ever met spent half their time bragging about eating steak every night.
>>78855248
SNAP is supposed to be SUPPLEMENTAL! It's the first fucking part of the acronym for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. It was never meant to be their entire food budget. Fucking liberals.

For the record, that $29 could have bought at least 80 packs of ramen. In some stores over a hundred.

Of course it doesn't make sense, it's a meme ass selection by a person so rich they have no concept of being frugal anymore, and it's made to get an emotional response so that she can get some virtue signaling points on social media.

i get this shit like $70 a month being single with no kids
people who abuse the system by shitting out a baby every 9 months get hundreds of dollars for their niglets each and if the parent gets ssi they get one for every kid
like thousands a month these people get altogether just for shitting out kids
daily reminder if you dont support welfare you support many people literally dying
>>78856428
ramen diet will kill you
surviving on carbs is not living
you could probably buy 20 pounds of rice with it too but you will die
id rather have 1 lime than 5 packs of ramen when youre about to die of nutrition deficiencys
>>78856428
While you are correct that the money could have been spent better, ramen is not food.

>>78856428
Have fun eating your 80 packs of ramen a week.
You can actually buy seed now with food stamps and fruit trees or at least you can in my state. My family is poor and on food stamps. We invested what little money we have in a garden every year and it continues to grow. The quality of produce is waaaayyy better than the store. That 200 of food stamps is now producing more than 1000 dollars of food a year.
>>78855655
Never made food from scratch?
That will give you some decent tortillas, guacamole etc, to which you need garlic/limes to be fair.
What surprises me is no meat, or rice.
limes are cheap either way, while "slightly" disconnected with reality, it is odd how little you can buy for what amounts to 4-5h of work to a lot of people.
>>78855491
>"Chicken eggs must be white or they're somehow bad"
You do realize you're not supposed to eat the shells, right?

>>78855248
BULL! SHIT!
I JUST got back from the store a few hours ago with a girl I actually knew from highschool, apparently a single mom, using SNAP or WIC or whatever... She bought a feast! This is isn't the first example, I see this same scenario once a month because they always fuck up and get the wrong item and have to go back and get the one on the list of SNAP approved items.
There were FOUR GALLONS OF MILK. Each one is -- what? $6 a gallon? That's over $30 right the fuck there. Not to mention all the other food. They always, always have an absolute SHIT TON of food. Where my employed ass is buying soup because I'm broke.
If you ever see someone holding up the line with a ton of food, it's a single mother on SNAPs
>Is this the right formula? No, okay let me slowly walk back there and get another one.
>Oh that's not the right one? Let me repeat the process because I'm sure this gentlemen waiting to buy food with his own money doesn't want to strangle me right now.
>>78856428

>>78857002
Meat is murder, Anon.
>>78855248
That's more than enough food to survive for a week.
They would have got more too if they didn't get fresh produce, and bought cheap microwave shit, or top ramen.
Also I'm pretty positive most people on food stamps are getting more than that to spend.
It's like this dumb bitch has never heard of Aldi. NEET who used to be on food stamps and still has a tiny food budget speaking here.

Haha is that really Scooby???
what? For one person SNAP is $189/mo. That's $47/wk. What family is making due with $29/wk on SNAP? Fucking hell they just make shit up.
That is absolutely enough for a family of 4 to survive on a week. If you're on food stamps and you have more than two kids, you're a retard and deserve what you get. Let's not forget that most families that use food stamps most likely don't have a father in the picture, wink wink nudge nudge.
How about instead of buying 50 limes, you put that shit towards more than one tomato or potato, you fucking dumbass?

Yeah, I for one am for public welfare, but even this pissed me off. Food stamps, WIC and the like are to help you survive, not be the means of your survival so you can sit around on your fat ass all day.
>>78857290
>in reality it costs more money to grow a tomato than buying them
what
Tomatoes grow like weeds, all you need is soil, water, sunlight, and some stakes to prop up the vines
>>78856005
snap is in addition to EBT and WIC (if you have kids)
EBT is pretty generous. I am a single 25 yo male and receive $275 a month.

>>78857347
>>78857281
They're steadily cutting it though. It's funny too, my fat sister gets the maximum allowable $180 or something and she spends it all on coca-cola and wal mart chicken nuggets. My best friend that has actual mental health issues had his cut down to $60 and he went back to work because he's struggling. Now he's been telling me he's always thinking of killing himself and possibly others. He always tells me he knows someone with cancer who had their food stamps cut down to like $12 or some shit.
Just wait until they start drug testing and it costs more than just giving the fucking handouts did in the first place. No rhyme or reason to anything in this fucking country.
>>78856569

No way man produce is cheap.. even organic produce can be cheap if you shop smart. I buy organic spinach potatoes and apples but but normal bananas avacados and citrus.. certain things are pointless to get organic, others greatly lower your intake of pesticides.
There's a grocery store in my area called Sprouts, I know they have them in other states.. it's basically whole foods but smaller and with prices that aren't fucking ridiculous. Like a normal grocery store, but with more organic selelctions. And their produce is actually cheaper than anywhere else. Sometimes buying something organic there costs less than buying it normal at another grocery store.. it retarded.

Yeah man it's better if poor people just starve.
As if the average SNAP beneficiary buys what's in the pic. THe reason they're on SNAP is because they are inherently lazy leechfucks. They are not going to buy foods that require preparation, they are going to buy carbs carbs and more carbs. This is a good thing though because the leechfuck army, especially the niggers and mexicorns are rapidly an heroing themselves on diabetes!
I was poor for a while. Instead of buying free-range organic shit I lived off of literally 2-3 bucks/day and still had a somewhat healthy and warm meal every day.
And that's living in a country where food is inherently more expensive than in the US.

Though, I was only SNAP once upon a time and I ate like only KANGZ can, often had enough money to go to Papa Murphy's a few times a month because they take EBT. I make like 60k a year now (still nothing to brag about but at least above poverty line) so I buy all my own shit but being super poor wasn't as bad as people make it out to be.

If I need to I can survive with just tortillas and that avocado for 4 days. Add everything else to the mix and I can make dinner for 6 for more than a week. Food stamps are supposed to be for those that can't even afford that minimum, so wtf is wrong there.
I can go buy loads of chicken and rice and some spices and live off of it for a while and it's cheap as shit.

What the fuck planet are you from that it costs $100 to feed a person healthily for a week?
For one, SNAP is not a replacement, it is a supplement.
For two, it should cost you $50 MAX to feed any individual for a week. And that's including buying expensive meats.
I can understand giving a family of four more than a single person, but $400 PER WEEK is fucking insane. Put down the dino nuggets and coca cola.
$25 for 200 really pricey of the premium shit. These are very expensive for the market. If you have basic hand-eye coordination this is between 150 pounds and a half ton of poultry depending on what your local birds are, and I'm assuming you're going to miss 25% of the time because you're an idiot on food stamps.
>>78857996
This m8, tomatoes dont need much in the way of fertilizer beyond coffee grounds and eggshells. You can get coffee grounds for free at starbucks if you dont drink coffee. Pulverize them and blend them with the soil along with some root vegetable peelings or grass trimmings and your shit soil will be fertile in no time.

meat and carbs are a combination that, for biochemical reasons, increase rate of diabetes and obesity, theres several epidemiological studies on this, there is a reason china is trying to curb meat consumption to stop obesity and diabetes explosion in the country.
You can google the subject if you have an actual interest in it, but simply put meat is great nutrient rich food, but it shouldnt be consumed at the levels it is, should be occasional, or, depending on the perspective/morality, never.

I've had people with hundreds of dollars on their food stamps card at the grocery store I used to work for. Total bullshit
This thread again?
$29 could get you a lot more if you shop smarter and were more efficient.
It's laughably easy to grow so much of your own food. You can grow potatoes in pretty much anything, like a trash bag of dirt.
If you don't have a lawn, chives and onions are extremely easy to grow indoors, so, no need to pay for them. Same thing with herbs. They don't take much space at all.
You can make your own tortillas too, those tortillas are probably like ten cents each and cost half a cent each to make once you have the masa.
Finally, there's no reason why that isn't a lot of food. Eat a lot of rice like the Japanese. There's plenty of nice ingredients for a bean stew that will make enough servings for three meals for a family too. On Sunday I'd use the eggs, tortillas, a green onion and whatever is left of that tomato to make some nice migas.
Basically there's no excuse for starving in America, there is food everywhere, and getting $29 a week is plenty.

Are you saying that because the link to potassium is stronger the link to sodium is non-existent even though the line right before that stated otherwise?
>getting or dying from cardiovascular disease has been less consistent.
Again, are you being foolish in your reading? The link to high blood pressure is non-existent because the relationship to getting or dying from cardiovascular disease is less consistent?

To add to this, you don't even need dirt to grow them in.

It'll regrow into full plants and you can keep harvesting them over and over. Literally free food.

Look, in the 1970's there were two studies conducted on salt. One was a population study (always unreliable) and the other was a force-fed rat study. This is where "Dieticians" got the idea that salt led to heart disease.
Since then, every time a major study is conducted to determine if salt consumption leads to heart disease, there's no conclusive evidence. Because it flat out doesn't.
In fact, every time they study it they find out that NOT eating enough salt harms you.
It's never been real science. Higher sodium levels are found in richer foods that inactive people overeat that CORRELATES to higher obesity and heart disease. Sodium is just a scapegoat.

yes if they buy flowers and packs or started plants. starting a garden can be expensive if you need to build it and get soil. but then a pack of tomato seeds cost $1.50 and i get enough tomatoes to make enough sauce for winter. its easily sustainable if a person knows what they are doing. spending money on other garden stuff doesn't actually drive up the cost of the tomato.

>>78860223
Nope. I only buy vegetables from local farmer markets, but keep assuming stuff.
I know that some frozen vegetables are decently healthy, but i dislike the texture/taste. Freezing causes water expansion which breaks cell walls, try to unfreeze meat and see how it behaves compared to fresh meat, and how much faster it spoils.

You can get that kind of deal in California too, problem is Gwyneth Paltrow's type would never shop at a bodega or carniceria until the LA Times publishes and article that says it is trendy for white people to shop there.

>>78860538
he/she/it is correct in that, albeit i find it silly to caps "proven".
Also depends on the brand.
The gist of it is that frozen vegetables are left to ripe and then frozen right away, preventing decay, while fresh produce in stores from other countries is picked before its mature so it can survive the journey, thus having less nutritional value.
And come on, you can google something like that easily.

Soil that hasn't been amended will produce poorly the first year and possibly all your tomatos will die of blossom end rot if the soil is deficienct in calcium.

m8, you don't know what you're talking about.
I live in New Jersey, the asshole of the US. We are the most densely populated and most polluted state in the union. Our air is thick with smog and smoke, NYC and Newark, two of the most polluted cities in the US, are both a stone's throw away. Our soil is also some of the most polluted in the country. You know what I have growing in my backyard RIGHT NOW? A tomato plant, that produces large, juicy tomatoes every year. All I do is water it sometimes, but it's not even really necessary.
If you really think that because YOU failed to grow a plant, that gardening must be impossible, you need to get your head out of your ass and get over yourself.
>making compost is no joke either it doesnt pay itself off if you just look at the labor alone
Nigger you just take your plant based garbage and throw it in a bin, maybe add some other shit too. If you can't handle that much ""work"" then maybe the myth about welfare recipients being lazy is true after all.
>you could work at mcdonalds for more money than your tomatoes from your banana peel compost

Oh, and I should also point out the point is about sodium's connection to high blood pressure. Related but separate from "heart attacks, strokes, or death."
To humor your corollary point, at best the "seven studies" demonstrates that there is no direct relation but nothing about indirect relations. Given how the article appears to try and move the goalposts from hypertension to "heart attacks, strokes, and death" I wonder if the author is being disingenuous.
>>78861897
>The point is about over-consumption
Which is still not what the science of today suggests is unhealthy.
Specifically, modern studies suggest that high blood pressure correlates to high sodium excretion, specifically when not paired with potassium excretion. And then only in certain populations in certain amounts.
It's pure junk science, it always has been. But keep believing absolute unproven horseshit, you appear to be great at it.

You might want to alert the Mayo Clinic of your findings!

Obviously they haven't got the memo.
>>78860537
We're not suggesting that those foods be your primary nutritional source, we're suggesting you use them to make meals out of your core foods, the rice, the beans, the eggs. Obviously most people can't grow their own rice or beans or eggs, otherwise I'd suggest that. Onions are a great source of flavor and you don't need a lot of it to add flavor to your food. Same with garlic. No need to pay for that either.
So while what is pictured looks very primitive, in reality there is plenty that can be done to make very tasty, fresh-tasting dishes.

>not economically sustainable
wut, most seeds you use can be recycled from the fruits and vegetables you eat.
Tomatoes, throw it in the dirt, in a month you'll have several tomato plants.
Potatoes, cut it up and throw it in the dirt. When it grows, put more dirt on it to make more potatoes
cabbage, lettuce, that sorta thing, plant some seeds, water it, work it up a little and you have a head of cabbage.
Peppers, put it in the ground, water it, you have a pepper plant.
carrots, put seeds in the dirt, you got a carrot
corn, put seeds in the dirt, you got a corn plant
I can go on, but you get the point.
Gardening isn't an expensive task unless you make it expensive. It's hardly time consuming either. and seeds are cheap, for a little extra cents you can buy heritage seeds so you can actually grow more food from those plants when they fruit.

You can start seeds indoors in peat pellets and move them out after your last frost date, but sometimes they just die for no reason. They usually get leggy if you grow them indoors and get killed by rain or just die later. If you start them outdoors they're hardier, but they're still seedlings and can get killed easily by rain or eaten overnight by slugs.

>That's for the cash benefits not the food stamps
>>78862746
There's the slippery slope aspect too. I can see banning candy since it's just sugar, but when does it become OK to ban foods for being "junk"? How much nutritional value do they need? Should frozen foods be banned, even though they're still fairly decent sources of nutrition, albeit heavily salted?

id love for you to grow me some tomatoes using this strategy
thanks for the advice man i believe you
what actually happens is that you throw the plants in the ground and then 4 days later theres a rainstorm that whipes out 1/2 of them then the other ones wilt away a week later when it gets a little too hot one day and then some had a nutrient deficiency the leaves turned yellow and died

>>78862619
You have never grown plants before.
You don't need that fertilizer bullshit. Farmers need that shit because they're working land that's been growing crops for decades and has been stripped of nutrients. Most people's backyards can handle a small backyard, plus you don't normally start them outside, you put them in a nursery cup or pot then move them outside when the conditions are right. Plants like tomatoes, potatoes and corn can start outside just find though since they're more hardier.
>>78863233
If you buy the plants at the grocery store that are already fairly big then they're hardier, but I'd like to see anyone grow plants from seed their first year and come away with a decent harvest. Even the disease resistant heavy-bearing varieties can still get killed by weather, fungus, or animals/insects.

It's a list of places where you can use the cash benefits, meaning where you can use your EBT card like a ATM card and withdraw money. Those restaurants accept the card and you can pay with your cash benefits. You cannot pay with your food stamp balance which is separate.

I have done just that. I've done that with pumpkins as well. Smash a pumpkin on the ground then stomp on the seeds and in a month they grow. I don't know how many times I've accidentally grown tomatoes because I just throw bad ones out back. It's not fucking rocket science dude.
>>78862619
No I grew them from seed! Soak them overnight, then stick them about an inch deep in the dirt! Then keep the soil around the root system moist! About 80% of my seeds germinated! Cost me $2!
>>78863406
Depends where you live, what type of soil you have(clay, loam, sandy loam), the organic content, drainage rate, and the PH of the soil in your area. Most suburban backyards will work, just not that well. Your plants might get end rot or powdery mildew the first year until the soil biota builds up.
