Tell Me Again How We Are a “Christian” Nation and a “Shining City on a Hill”
You Republicans and conservatives: maybe you can explain to me why denying poor people the ability to purchase and eat potatoes, lentils, beans, and other legumes is a smart thing for both diet and nutrition?
Why not just be honest and admit your view of poor people is that they should live lives of discomfort and shame?
If we were a Christian nation, this would make me ashamed of my faith, but as we obviously are not, as based on our behavior, I guess I’ll leave that alone for now.
Among the things not allowed are potatoes, beans, white rice, nuts, buying in bulk, Swiss cheese, sharp cheddar, shredded cheese, spaghetti sauce, bagels, pita bread, soups, herbs, seasonings, spices, and anything organic reduced sodium, or reduced fat.
The list of “disallowed” foods also includes the following:
Cranberry sauce and pie filling. (Poor people can forget about making dessert for Thanksgiving dinner.)
Creamed vegetables
Baked beans
Pickles
Pork and beans
Frozen veggies that come in packages featuring pasta, nuts, rice, cheese, or meats
French fries and hash browns
Sharp cheddar cheese, Swiss, and fresh mozzarella, shredded and sliced cheeses (except American cheese of course), cheese food, spreads, and products. Even Kosher cheese is banned unless you apply to get a specific check for it which basically could identify who the poor Jewish people are.
Canned peas and green beans
Albacore tuna, red salmon, and fish fillets
Bagels, pita bread, English muffins
White rice and wild rice
Taco shells
Almond, rice, goat, and soy milk.
Brown eggs and any eggs produced by cage-free or free range chickens, which basically helps corporate chicken farms
Several kinds of infant food
Anything in bulk
Anything organic or natural
