But not guns!

The junk food. Pick up a any flyer, look at any store specials. Chips, soda, processed crap. I imagine the junk people trying to impose their less money for less food for poor people are going to piss off the processed food giants by targeting their main products.

where the snack companies, supposedly due to the injectable weight loss drug phenomena, have talked about more discounting so they don't lose their market share.

When I volunteered at the local food pantry, we had many nutritious options as well as over processed meals in a can or breakfast cereals. Processed items were preferred by many because they had no access to full kitchens. We typically had fresh/frozen meats and produce for those that could use it. Items like quinoa (near sell by date) and fresh artichokes (oversupply from local markets) were largely avoided as few knew how to prepare them.

Everybody loves the eggs though.

Even in a poorly equipped kitchen, you can fry or boil an egg.

I even have had people meet me in the parking lot when I delivered freshly laid eggs from my small farm. But I tell them that the food pantry will be distributing them. Otherwise it would be a mob.

It's kind of sad to see so many people so hungry for fresh eggs. I always leave wishing I had more eggs to give out.

That's just so rich. This rwnj directive reminded me of something.

I read Animal Farm decades ago. The pigs controlled food to the other animals to assert dominance.

Andy is full of it as usual.

Fascists doing something good for the poor? Yeah, I know it's about control but this would actually help some folks out with choices.

But it's never gonna happen. This is simply a plot by some GQP fascists to get campaign contributions from the snack food industry. Most of the snack food corporations stocks are held by financial institutions...banks. It's a way to catch the attention of the filthy-rich and get some more political donations.

as I was exiting a fast food place. I gave him $5 cash and he flatly said it wasn't enough, I needed to give him more and pointed to the prices of the fast food menu items. So I gave him a few extra dollar bills that I was carrying.

The thing is I don't carry much cash at all these days. I'm retired and always shop either by home delivery or at the store with a debit card.

“Let them eat Corn Flakes” appears to be Kellogg’s CEO Gary Pilnick’s advice to cash-strapped shoppers who are spending the highest portion of their income on food than at any point in the last 30 years.

In an interview with CNBC last week, WK Kellogg CEO Pilnick said the company was advertising cereal for dinner to consumers looking for more affordable options. “Give chicken the night off,” the ad’s cheery tagline reads. WK Kellogg owns cereals such as Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Corn Flakes, Raisin Bran and others.

Food companies have raised prices since the start of the pandemic to cover higher costs for labor, ingredients and transportation — and because they could.

Cereal prices alone increased 28% since January of 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In its latest fiscal year, Kellogg raised prices by 12%.
