Corn mostly passes through you. This is why you can see corn in your shit after eating corn on the cob.
Yes I know this. I said processed grains, which are quite different. Veggies are good for you, they help clean your intestines. Eating tons of flour and corn is terrible for you though and that's what we've been pushing for years.
Division of labor is a fundamental aspect of the capitalist economy. Is it a luxury to be able to buy food at a supermarket? Maybe we should make them cultivate their own seeds from the wild for their own back yard so we don't make it too easy on them.
In any case, it seems like its frequently cheaper (which makes sense because of specialization / division of labor) to buy food at a fast food place then to buy all the ingredients, some of which will go bad before you consume all of it.

If you eat bullshit sure. You can get a $1 "burger", and $1 fries at McDonalds, for two bucks you can buy way more ground beef, and for a couple more bucks some buns, and make a burger that is not only better, but better for you.
It would be CHEAPER in the grand scheme of things to give people food and teach them to cook for themselves.
So is it cheaper if we all go back to being farmers and cultivate our own food and sew our own clothes? Of course not. Again, society is wealthier because we divide labor and specialize. And I don't see why you stop at cooking your own food when every other part of the process relies on other people too.
Anyway, it's hard for me to get bent out of shape about people eating at Taco Bell. It's cheap crap food.

Infohawk, if you're going to do everything for someone, they're no better than children or pets. Is this how you view them? As helpless children? People need to be driven to do something, without it they just wallow around and get restless. Cheap crap food, same reason people bitch about smokers with universal health care huh? Oh pay for their healthcare, no why should I? they make poor decisions. They can't even make the right choices when given the ability to make them FOR FREE. Please, teaching people to cook their own food, to do things for themselves will drive them to be more independent and try to do MORE FOR THEMSELVES.
If it costs exactly the same amount to give these people food and teach them to cook it vs paying for them to get other people to do it for them, we absolutely should make them help themselves. Your argument against it doesn't make any logical sense, unless you think of these people as lesser beings compared to yourself. You know like I said you would view a child.
Does someone else making your automobile make you less of a person? Does someone making your clothes for you making you're not free? It sounds like you think they would be better off if they were sent into our national forests to survive on their own...
Also, BF I know those things. I don't know why you're so hostile towards me when we generally hold more common ground on these topics.
Yum brands has been trying this for a long time, nothing new. But I did notice that the food stamp president is living up to his name...
Between 2005 and 2010
Even people with polar-opposite viewpoints should not be hostile to each other.Also, BF I know those things. I don't know why you're so hostile towards me when we generally hold more common ground on these topics.

Well if it comes down to money, its impossible to beat the $5 hot and ready or the $1 double cheeseburger. For example
1 lb hamburger 2.00 (generally its more expensive but we'll get the cheap stuff for this example)
Hamburger buns 1.50
Ketchup 1.50
Onions 1.00
Cheese $3.00
Plus the cost of electricity or gas for the oven, water/soap to clean the dishes and the pan.
Or you can get 4 double cheeseburgers for $4 and you're done with it.
The $5 hot and ready there is no way you can replicate that for $5.
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of making all food stamps work like WIC, targeted to certain healthy foods and necessaries like toilet paper. There would need to be some method of handling people who have no cooking facilities though, and some method of teaching cooking skills to people who have none.I get upset about this because when I was 10 years old I remember getting scolded because I bought a ten cent piece of candy with money my mother gave me to buy a loaf of bread. She gave me $5 and told me to return with the change and when she saw that I spent money on candy she got mad. I didn't understand what was going on at the time but that $5 was the last bit of money we had and that 10 cents I spent really counted. We didn't qualify for food stamps because my parents were in a divorce and at the time the laws were different. I watched other families trade food stamps for cash or buy steaks and sell them for money. This was when food stamps were printed on paper like money, easily traded. The program hasn't improved since then and it needs to go, not be increased to even more abuse.
Feeding people is fine, do it like WIC. If someone is homeless and chooses that life then that is totally different from someone who is homeless and wants help. I would be all for government run soup kitchens in areas that have people in need of food. I am not against feeding people that are hungry, I do it every month, from handouts of food to shelters to handing out food to people begging out in front of stores. I am against this needless waste of resources when other option exist.

Where would you even buy mcdicks meat? The hamburger at Costco is hardcore lean and it's expensive. Stuff at mcdonalds is extra fatty which means extra low quality.ground beef is a little bit more at the store, but it's generally a slightly higher quality. if you buy the lower quality patties, which are more along the lines of what McDonalds sells, they're roughly the same price for more meat.
Fuel is surprisingly cheap. The amount of methanol needed to deep fry a whole batch of chicken in a fondue is less than $1. I've been using the same 1 gallon jug of methanol for more than a month and I fondue all the time. It takes about 1L of oil as well so that's about 1-2 bucks. The rest is just the cost of the meat. Add soy sauce and worcestorshire to the final product and wrap it in a small piece of white bread. Delicious! That's what I'm making right now!Plus the cost of electricity or gas for the oven
Poor people are not known for their intelligence. Rent to own furniture? Where do I sign up???all day long, for 70% of the food stamp shoppers it is like this, chips, soda, frozen foods, little debbie snacks, candy bars.
Wha? Burgers need to have fat.Where would you even buy mcdicks meat? The hamburger at Costco is hardcore lean and it's expensive. Stuff at mcdonalds is extra fatty which means extra low quality.
