This is better than the article!! Lolol

Do not worry, it’s a widely circulated opinion! I daresay it would be a dream of mine if it were truth in some cases.

I always mixed mine into mashed potatoes, which were part of 90% of our meals growing up.  I still do that when I have canned corn that I haven't used in a recipe.  Does feel like childhood.

I’m not entirely convinced that it’s entirely on the shoulders of the diet and wellness folks. Rather I think they are a symptom of the gentrification of food. Whereas in the old days fat was considered healthy and a display of wealth, now it’s the opposite. The largest trend actually started somewhere around the turn…

That’s not settled law. Further, the Supreme Court opinion, all the way back in 1833, was that it carries the “imputation” of guilt, and served as the basis for rejecting a pardon. There is zero law about turning over any and all evidence.

I’m sure he wants to, and was advised that it would be political suicide.  I expect a last day pardon from him, so he doesn’t have to own the fallout.

Exactly, or sold to restaurant, or donated to food banks.  I’ve absolutely gotten them from food banks.  My favorites are the heart-shaped potatoes, they just make me smile.

Needs more stars!  Right on point.

I would say that it depends on the type of food bank. There are several different different types ranging from huge mass community distribution types to small individual food closets.

Thank you, your words are very kind!

Yes, those are good. Canned chicken being a favorite. I remember being super happy when we got canned salmon, so that’s an option as well. Canned pork makes really tasty pulled pork with a little doctoring, and canned and bagged beef (shelf-stable) even exists, which is good in soups.

Well technically, it’s not officially tied to poverty limit anymore, in some legislative sleight of hand they’ve changed it an annual cost of living adjustment, which still works out to..you guessed it 75% of the poverty level.

I wish.  Haha.  But let me get it under 5 minutes for testimony and work in the absolute crap that disability is pegged at 75% of the poverty rate.

That cook book looks very cool, and luckily for me, many of the pantry items needed for it I make sure to keep on hand. But for most snap people? Setting up a pantry is expensive, and can take all of their food budget. I started with one from my not so poor days, and then have been able to replace as needed.

That’s still missing out on alot of needed things. Calcium? Iron enough for women? Omega 3?

Ugh...no no I absolutely love the food bank folks! I know they are doing their best with what they have and I am eternally grateful for it. We also have some amazing local companies that donate ugly produce that is still quite fresh, and surplus canned. I’ve written thank you letters to some of these. I especially…

Thank you.I wasn’t looking for pats on the back, but to paint a picture that even what I do isn’t a reality for the urban and/or working poor,who simply don’t have the time, live in food deserts, or don’t have the knowledge that I do.

I tend to say that in the majority of human history, the poor were just literally starved to death. Whereas now, we have unhealthy, cheap, subsidized food where the poor are killed by diabetes or heart disease instead. And then blamed for it.

I came for that meme! But you didn’t upload it!
