For liberals being the kings of nanny laws, surprised you have not implemented a law that bans the use of EBT cards at fast food joints and the purchase of soda's with it.

There's nothing wrong with the survey. Most people who eat less so they can feed their children know they are doing it. The fact is that poor people are more likely to be unhealthy and obese because they get most of their calories from unhealthy combinations of what passes for food in this society. In the first place, many poor people try to make their food dollars go further by shopping at places like Wal-Mart which doesn't even carry fresh fruits and vegetables. Yes, I think they have fruits and vegetables but they are not fresh and most of the food that poor people eat consists of things like hamburger helper made from cheap and fatty hamburger and cheap and carbohydrate loaded macaroni. Days on this diet or something equally unhealthy is not good for anyone and staves bodies of the nutrients and minerals that we all need to survive. In addition, poor people are also deprived of adequate health care and are generally unhealthy and suffer from other ailments including diabetes and other ailments associated with a poor diet. If you had ever dealt with the poor or been poor yourself, you might have some sense of what it actually means to be poor, but since you lack empathy, you find it easy to cast judgement of others from your position of white privilege. It's too bad you have all the answers for everyone. Perhaps you should find some solutions for what you yourself lack. It goes far beyond calories and dietary choices.
Well tell me wise one just what kind of diet is "oatmeal, eggs, protein powder, bananas, lettuce" and how is that balanced in the least. Doesn't one need milk for oatmeal and since when is protein powder cheap? And since when can it be purchased with food stamps? I would love for you to live on $200 a month or $50 dollars a week for food which is what a person on food stamps gets in my state. I bet you could eat like a king on that slim amount: filet mignon, fresh Alaskan salmon and veal and lamb. Not to mention at least one rack of prime rib per month! With all your expertise you shouldn't have to eat two breakfasts a day and a head of lettuce. Stretch out, spend a little, eat well. You can do it on half that $200 allotment. The idea that all of this costs money is just a myth!
How many meals of oatmeal are you suggesting poor people eat everyday, hummmmm?
This is rich, the man without empathy (apologies to Robert Musil) chastising others for their purported lack of empathy. Just what have you done to educate poor people in how to eat healthy besides post such blather on a message board mostly peopled by the wealthy and privileged? How many poor people do you think have gym memberships and can avail themselves of preventive medical care? I bet you completely support Obama's health care reforms too, don't you? You must, because you care so much about the health of poor people; you must want them to have the best health care money can buy don't you?
I'm still waiting for you to tell me how many meals of oatmeal (or gruel) you suggest poor people eat every day, Mr Sqeers!
You have used this craven formulation a couple of other times on this thread. Do you really think that such patronizing and paternalistic chauvinism endears you to others? Do you think that your ignorant formulation is anything less than rude and misogynistic? Why would one deliberately choose to be so banal and superficial? Perhaps they should just eat cake, right Marie?
When the corpses start piling up in the streets, will you pay your taxes that go to pay the street cleaners to shovel up dead American bodies when they start to smell too bad to ignore anymore?
I have a hunch the rest of the world doesn't really give a fuck.
It will at least keep your bombers out of the ME.

Are you bragging or complaining?
Wow! What patronizing, condescending drivel!
You revel in your misogyny don't you?
Do you have anything besides name-calling and woman bashing?
It seems to me if you had a point and were secure in your own masculinity that you might be able to carry on a conversation with nearly anyone without mentioning or bringing their gender into the conversation. That you can't seem to do that and instead revel in your crude willingness to make any and all kinds of gender slurs instead of debating the issue shows that not only do you have little or no respect for women, and I suppose as Frederick Douglass, W.E.B. Du Bois and others have pointed out probably also applies to other minorities, but you really have no respect for yourself or how you might look to others. It's sad to watch a man with no self-awareness, pride or even respect for himself make a fool out of himself in public like this. As Bobby "Blue" Bland said: "I pity the fool!"
This might be too much information!
I would never buy boxed cereal it's mostly grease, sugar and air packaged to make it appear as if it is good for you. You'd be better served to buy multiple-vitamins and throw all such processed food out! It is the absolute worst!
$200 a month.........wow
Oatmeal.....ONE SERVING EVERY morning....milk...one quart a day 50 bucks.....nutritious and healthy............AND CHEAP....then a good ham sandwich for dinner.....but it'll cost you ...lets see....6 lbs of ham...36 bucks and 4 loaves of bread....12 bucks.....now you have enough money left over for cigarettes and beer if you don't over do them.
If you want variety, have the oatmeal for dinner and the ham for breakfast....omit the beer and get 3 dozen eggs for for 10 bucks
thats 125 dollars a month for food, give or take.......
If you want butter and salt and pepper.....get a god damn job to fill you spare time.
