40 fucking dollars per month per kid. That might pay for a month’s worth of rice but isn’t a week’s worth for fruits, vegetables, and protein!
For sure... But $0 a month isn't going to buy much protein either
Right. We should be offering way more than $40 a month per kid and the fact that republicans want to cut what is basically a pittance shows how cruel they are.
It'd be added to the other EBT they likely get. It's only supposed to cover school lunches I'm guessing.
A month's worth of rice would actually be a pretty smart choice for the money. Unfortunately that's not how that pittance will be spent.
Do you think children can get all the necessary nutrition from rice?
Yeah it'd be ideal if all of them had perfectly cooked and prepared meals with well researched nutritional balance and a balanced food and flavor profile.
But somehow Republicans want small government that leaves people alone except when it comes to their genitals, bathroom habits, access to books, or apparently what kind of food they get.
I guess we can continue to judge the poorest among us for what we view as poor choices with their social benefits.
I'm not even against some of the ideas, but denying people what they have because it's not your perfect idea of what they should have is just cruel. Work towards better, don't use people's suffering as leverage.
potatoes would probably be a better choice nutritionally (with the obvious instruction you can't just fry them all)
