    They cannot even suggest good ways to save money OR eat healthy, FFS.

    One way to eat on a tight budget is to use rice and dried beans. If you wait for sales and use coupons, beans might be really cheap canned at times, so your mileage may vary on which is cheaper, dried or canned. Make sure the rice and dried beans can be stored w/o mice or other pests getting into them.

    Find cookbooks aimed at doing stuff on the cheap - something like the More-with-less cookbook. There are probably hundreds of recipes online that have rice and beans as the base.

      Because…. They don’t really give a shit. They are spewing whatever they think will

      1: distract from other pressing issues, like ICE or Epstein,

      2: they are rich af and out of touch, I mean this is some ‘what can a banana cost , Michael?’ Shit here.

      3: make sure to put the cost solution and blame on poor people. ‘Look you definitely can eat cheap and healthy’ ‘you don’t need a raise, or for us to do anything about real issues (wealth gap, 0 social safety net)’

        Also rice and beans are vegan so they couldn’t suggest that.

        I’m surprised they’re not suggesting a couple ounces of the best Argentinian beef.

          Well, I saw some talking head on Faux ask her the about the upside-down pyramid/food funnel - equating protein with steak. Because of course. /infinite facepalm

          It really is like these people think protein requires animal protein, and not even just eggs or milk, but dead flesh. Everything else has no protein, apparently. So if you cannot afford steak, you should opt for chicken, LOL. Apparently no other options.

          I realize concision doesn’t really permit time to educate people on nutrition or trying to get proper nutrition on a budget due to Taco destroying the economy, but between Faux and the administration, it’s like they are not even trying.

          But yeah, all these people being mouthpieces for big manly macho men aren’t likely to recommend something vegan (certainly not by name) because they know how absurd their audience is about that…even if it does help them, LOL. Dog forbid someone is a “soy boy”, LOL.

            I appreciate what you’re saying, but it’s not about any of that. It’s about directing spending. Lobbying, bribes, stock portfolio concerns, etc, etc. It’s just money to them.

      He’s obsessed with ballrooms, and adding more to the West wing, too. Also talking about marble armrests at the center he’s busy destroying.

      All of you peasants - trying to meet basic nutrition? Well fuck you, you should have been born rich and inherited half a billion dollars from Daddy, you losers!

    They’re probably trying to get us used to the idea of eating whatever we can when food shortages come.

    Edit: While also blaming us for everything and they continue their lives of luxury. Naturally.
