Just like everyone else I see at the grocery store using Link/foodstamps, gwyneth will also have a $500 coach purse and a $700 cell phone. She will also immediately go into the parking lot and get into a $60,000 escalade as well.
These are all things I have seen.
My second Wife back in 1987 or so had a Masters in Psychology and basically looked very good and almost lived on Zucchini and Spaghettio's at the time.
First and last time I ever ate a Quiche.
She was a bit of a Psycho even if was good in bed, there is a reason we didn't last long I guess, even if she basically proposed to me and I had to think about it hard at the time.
She regulated her intake of any food she ate.
Speaking of which, how was she a bit of a psycho? Angry all the time?
Pretty easy to do. I would have chosen wisely, though. The first week I would get some sort of multivitamin and just eat ramen for a week or something. No big deal. Then, if you wanted to be healthier, but have relatively easy meals, you could do something like:
1 Gallon of Milk: $3.25
12 Eggs: $1.50
2 lbs. bread / buns: $2.00
1 lbs. ground beef: $5.00
1 lbs. chicken breast: $5.00
1 lbs. bag of spaghetti: $1.00
1 lbs. bag of rice: $1.25
Jar of pasta sauce: $2.00
Jar of peanut butter: $2.50
Remaining: $5.50
You can usually find some of the above for cheaper I would imagine. For instance, my local Kroger is selling 3 lbs. of ground chuck for $10.47, or like $3.49 per pound. They also have boneless pork tenderloin for $1.99 per pound. I would look for some sales like that, too.
The remaining money could be used to buy some items with more longevity. For instance, some iodized salt for a $1 and lasts a long ass time, black pepper, flour, sugar, butter. After that, I'd switch over to see what I could buy in bulk / larger quantities (ie: a 5 lbs. tube of ground beef might save $0.50 a pound or something, and you could just cut it before freezing, a bigger bag of rice, etc.).
I've lived off much worse for years. I'm still alive.
Why would you ask that? Oh wait ...I know... :awe:
Fuckin ATOT man.
Or, how about:What I've learned from this thread:
1. Poor people are lazy and stupid and could immediately get a job and stop being poor if they wanted to.
2. Poor people are actually rich, gainfully employed con artists who are gaming the system.
Or, how about:
3. Poor people get a lot more benefits than simply food stamps and can often enjoy a lifestyle good enough to discourage them from looking for work.
My solution is the only one that covers the calories and vitamin intake, but costs less than $29 a week. In fact with 15lbs of sugar and a bottle of multivitamins you spend $20-22, leaving you with a cool $7 a week to splurge on styrofoam.
Not sure why you are all so stuck on conventional notions of what "food" is. Calories + vitamins = nutrition. Problem solved.

Sometimes it's people that were formerly doing well, but got hit by very bad circumstances. They still have the nice stuff from when they were doing well, but can't afford necessities anymore.
That’s the funny thing about being poor. Everyone has an opinion on it, and everyone feels entitled to share.
But what I learned there will never leave me. We didn’t deserve to be poor, any more than we deserved to be rich. Poverty is a circumstance, not a value judgment. I still have to remind myself sometimes that I was my harshest critic. That the judgment of the disadvantaged comes not just from conservative politicians and Internet trolls. It came from me, even as I was living it.
It has never confused me in the slightest why poor people want nice things, because it the same reason rich people want them. BECAUSE THEY ARE NICE.
Is there a formula for being deserving of nice things? Do you actually believe that everyone who is rich earned their wealth, or have you just been confused by an invisible system of networks, bridges, opportunity, hand-holding, inheritances, staggering debt, and even outright criminality in some cases behind it?
And your solution would leave someone dead. You need protein and you shouldn't eat styrofoam.
Wrong

Cardboard has too much ink printed in it and left over from the recycling process. Styrofoam is completely non toxic and has no ink in it. It's also completely biodegradable and clean burning.

Fool. Where are you going to get the nitrogen for your protein biosynthesis? You can't fix nitrogen yourself, you need to consume it in your diet.
I tried Chef boyardee raviolis once...the sauce was....toxic waste. It literally tasted like chemicals, and not like food at all. What chemicals I do not know, for I had never before and never since tasted anything quite like it. How clever marketing depts. can influence people's perception to like the stuff is a story for the ages, and would likely fascinate your psychologist ex wife, but I'm sure no one is interested in that so I won't bore you with the details.

I won't go into many details.
Yeah angry all the time, was on Prozac, childhood issues, even ground her teeth at night sometimes.
She stopped taking it for a period, shit really hit the fan.
I haven't even seen her in over 25 years I guess.
Nuff of that
I declare this thread a dead horse and sufficiently beaten.
