Dear whoever the fuck I'm replying to,

I see that you still haven't wrapped your head around the fact that I post about America a lot. For some reason, you find this annoying and I understand. You also have to understand that America is a country of influence on this planet and that everything that many things that happen can affect the rest of the world. Canada is you direct neighbor, we share a continent together and we are each other's biggest ally. Therefore, it is in my own interest to be interested in your affairs. Sure, I'm more interested in US affair than most Canadians and possibly most Americans. I'm also interested in the UK, France and Germany. As you may suspect, nothing ever happens in Canada because we got our shit together and it's almost boring.

Now wrap around around this shit and deal with it. Thank you

Sincerely
Patlal

Canada is not the US' biggest ally, get over yourself

:lolsy:

That would be Germany, with the UK, France, Sweden, Japan and Israel following. Canada is little more than a colony, with no military or political influence. The only reason Canada "has its shit together" is because it freeloads off the rest of the Western world's military efforts.

Ellen Page was Lahey's daughter on The Trailer Park Boys but then she got famous. Patlal is a trailer park supervisor like Randy. I think Canada is probably mostly just one big trailer park.

Many people on food stamps buy expensive frozen prepared meals, they don't know how to cook.

People are stupid, they don't know what decent food is at all, let them eat what they want is my opinion.

If they gave me food stamps that would be cool. I would buy mostly meat and vegetables and real food. I'd probably eat a lot more steak. Rice and corn are mostly empty starches and sugars, so should people on food stamps have food items like that banned as well? I don't think so. They're probably a little bit more healthy than a bunch of refined sugar and unnatural chemicals. Anyway, the real issue is that I should be getting some free food too. I'm stretched thin on bills and I actually contribute to society through my taxes. It's kinda shitty that people who get more free shit than me contribute less to nothing. I don't think I like socialism, but I do like free stuff.

The thing with rice is that it contains amino acids as well. And beans contain the other ones, so eating rice & beans gives a full complement of protein. I just find it ironic that they're pushing this legislation, when the taxpayers pay for their salaries & healthcare as well. And they have the best healthcare you can get. Meanwhile all these idiots do is bicker about partisan bullshit & get rich off insider trading. They're not working for that money. They're not doing their jobs & making things better for their constituents. So how about we decide what they get to spend the money we give them on? Of course they'll never go for that.

I agree.  If you want food fine I think they should give it away cause half of it gets tossed anyway.  BUT you sure as shit dont get Pepsi, Milk Duds, Doritos, ice cream, and frozen meals on the public dime.  All the actual food you can eat, plenty of salad and oatmeal to go round.

Being poor is one thing Im poor as fuck, being stupid is different and if you cant eat on $170 a month its your brain not your stomach.  I have found personally true that HUNGER will make you creative, resourceful, will open your eyes and help you to change.

Beans were never up for discussion. Beans are underrated in general. But yeah, you're right, partisans are complete morons.

Food stamps is not full welfare. Alot of people on food stamps still work. You cannot have a one size fits all law like this. What about the people who are hyperglycemic? or the people with metabolism disorders? people with a body type that needs a high calorie diet? are they going to give them more food stamp $$ so they can live on steak and potatoes? are they going to stop inflation on whole foods and force companies to make healthy food more affordable?

No?

Then your law to make fat people stop eating is counterproductive to the very idea of food stamps - to keep people who need it from starving.

Food stamps covers alot more than it used to. Maybe they should have put limits on things like convenience stores where there's nothing to eat but processed junk. But then that too might hurt people who have metabolism.


Omg what if, bare with me here guys, what if instead of trying to make blanket laws we put more of that money into social work and help tailor individual plans to individuals?? We could even help work them through their issues and get off of foodstamps and welfare and into stable jobs!
Ah... Shit yeah that's too crazy...

The very rich have no issue handing out crumbs to the peasants to keep them quite, as long as the can ship jobs out of the US and let illegals into the domestic labor markets, all is good.

Sounds about right.

And Tennessee officials want to deal with greedy people who take advantage of a greedy system or are the victim of greedy people that established the greedy system by being greedy people.


I dunno why people seem to want some deep evidence of corruption in the government. Like Obama working with Kim Jong Un or whatever. Their apparent ignorance is corruption.

You could probably get them. I was on them once after I lost a job. I don't remember all the requirements anymore, but my friend who had a low paying job had them.

I think it's a pretty good idea to cut junk food off EBT eligibility. It's not really food anyway.

If the government were to help people get healthier food it would at least enforce honestly in food labels.

http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm372915.htm

Like trans fats were initially recognized as safe but they realized that there was too much contrary evidence. Even still they didn't force manufacturers to list trans fats, they still don't even tho they now plan to "phase it out" by 2019. Like 0 trans fat per serving can mean less than half a gram per teaspoon of coffee creamer but you could get 2 grams if you use 2 tablespoons.

Other countries limit this kind of shit in food. Ours doesn't because "freedom" of "consumers choice." I dunno how you can call it freedom when consumer education is conflicting if existent at all and manufacturers are allowed to manipulate food labels into making food seem healthier than it is.


I can't tell you how many arguments I've gotten into with people about food because they don't understand what unhealthy really is. "No not all sugars are bad, but high fructose corn syrup is." indeed natural frutose in your apple isn't as bad as HFC in your soda but sucrose and cane sugar and agave nector all in excess adds up. Again that's conflicting information that's largely fueled by marketing.

But then why would a dishonest government enforce honesty in its primary lobbyists and campaign donors???


Can we really blame people for being ignorant when no one thoroughly educates them? And when marketing cleverly makes little white lies that add up to a horribly unhealthy diet?

Like this "organic" and "gluten free" ...organic doesn't mean "whole" or "free of artificial ingredients" or "free from pesticides" or "no antibiotics or hormones" or even "GMO free" depending on how its phrased and "gluten free" doesn't mean unprocessed. But they're so closely associated and purposely implied that whoever doesn't have time or know how to research is easy pickings for marketing.

meh, UK is an ally, hence, Canada is also an ally.

and Canada has "it's shit together" (lovely phrase to describe how things are actually held together around the globe) because it's got it's own workforce, and fuck military shit, we've always been peacekeepers...cleaning up other people's fucking messes after their done, risking life and limb to save innocent people from the aftermath of destruction continuing to effect their lives.

all the big boys, well, they tumble harder if they fall...i hope they fall, i'll laugh. :loldongs: all your big game won't mean shit then.
