/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>11024783
Yea, just no hot food.

>>11024784
What's the reason for no hot food with food stamps?

>>11024784
O werd? Sweet.

>>11024786
The theory is that you're supposed to buy the foods that give you the best bang for your buck, i.e. ingredients to cook with, as opposed to prepared food like a restaurant.

>>11024792
seems counterproductive to me, I would just buy steaks and lobsters

>>11024800
That sort of stupid shit is why people need food stamps in the first place.

>>daaaaam De'Shawn, you just got PAID whatcha gonna do with that cash??
>>well I dun could buy me some food 'n shit but Imma gonna git me some crack rock and knockoffs for ma ride

>>11024784
How does that even make sense? Like, can you not buy bread from the grocery store bakery if it's fresh and still hot? Why wouldn't all prepared, ready to eat foods count? I mean, can you use food stamps at the olive bar but not for rotisserie chicken?

My only experience with food stamps is when I used to sell floppy discs with porn pics back in elementary school and one of my friends only had food stamps to trade, but I never did anything with them.

>>11024800
I have an organic grass-fed steak that I bought with food stamps waiting to be eaten in the fridge.

>>11024815
>Why wouldn't all prepared, ready to eat foods count?
Because that's a legal nightmare to define, wheras foods served hot is very simple.

>>can you use food stamps at the olive bar but not for rotisserie chicken?
Yes. Nobody said the law made perfect sense.

>>11024827
Are you sure it's not just "all prepared foods?"

>>11024784

wtf? Stop Lying.

In California, you can literally load up on Costo chicken & prepared foods on EBT. Same with the safeway premade foods.

Hell, in CA, you can use EBT at Burger King, Taco Bell, El Pollo Loco, Jack in the Box, etc, etc.

>>11024827
"Ready to eat" and "shelf stable" are pretty well defined terms (some states have regulations about food service workers having to wear gloves if dealing with ready to eat foods). The only ambiguous term is, "prepared foods", which would be something like a salad in a box as opposed to fruit and vegetables from the produce section, which technically could just be eaten as is.

>>11024839
You can't use ebt at costco in New York

>>11024837
I can't speak for all states, but mine is like anon's. No hot food. The only reason I know about that is there is a big sign at the seafood counter explaining that if you have them steam your seafood for you (a free service the store has), then you can no longer buy that with food stamps because it is then legally "served hot".

> Restaurants that Accept EBT in California!

American Liberals: Keeping the minorities down via junk food and bad choices.

>>11024843
It's not just about being "clearly defined", it's about ease of understanding.

"Hot" is easy enough for a retard to understand, which is the whole point.

>>11024853
More like "buying the minority vote" via bad choices.

>>11024849
> keep them in poor health and dependent on our handouts

Poor blacks have been voting democrat for 50 years. "Maybe things will be different next time!"

>>11024813
instead they buy food with EBT, sell it at a massive discount, then spend that money on beer and crack. Everybody loses!

>>11024862
>>Everybody loses

Except the guy who buys the food stamps for 50c on the dollar.

In my area there is some kind of aid program where single mothers can get various supplies for free; this includes things like diapers and laundry detergent. Those big bottles of Tide liquid detergent and packs of diapers might as well be currency.

I'm fairly liberal and support welfare for those temporarily out of work, but this seems completely backwards to allow EBT users to buy overpriced fast food that will make them sick. There's something seriously wrong with this practice.

>Be manager at grocery store in the south
>We have sushi made fresh every day
>13s are allowed to use their gibs cards to buy it
>They also buy lobster, shrimp, fillet mignon, etc. with their gibs
>Always have a fucking attitude when they attempt to purchase something that isn't eligible with EBT
I pray to God every day that he will just end everything.

In oregon you can buy sushi and deli items but you cant use them at any fastfood places or costco. I think its ok if they are spending 6$ on sushi and not 6$ on soda or candy

>>11024897
EBT is a farmer subsidy. It doesn't exist to feed people all farmers deserve a fair shot at that money

>>11024884
>temporarily

>>11024849

California might as well just let EBT holders buy alcohol at liquor stores. I'm sure that will buy their politicians plenty of votes.

>>11024901
I think they should fuck off and if they're really hungry they can get a job on a farm and work for their food.

>>11024884
It's for homeless only and in la only unless they've changed it recently. The idea being they have nowhere to cook so it's the only way they would ever have access to a hot meal.

>>11024907
Do you really believe that's how it functions?

>>11024920
>It's for homeless only and in la only

Looks like the entire bay area gets this also, not just LA.

https://www.sccgov.org/sites/ssa/debs/Documents/scd207_english.pdf

Yeah, might as well just let them buy liquor and prescription drugs also. Whatever get them those votes.

>>11024918
You can work 40 hours a week and still get full foodstamps

>>11024920

And the bay area... and central valley, and northern califonia...

>>11024923
Yes farmers and food producers get the money spent with food stamps.

Do american governments really give out free shit like this just to lure voters? Holy shit, maybe Communism is a superior system... at least we don't bribe the lowest common denominators at the expense of the rest of society.

>>11024947
We subsidize farmers here we could pay them either to throw the food in the trash or give it to people.

>>11024950
>We subsidize farmers

lol. Go back to your nigger affirmative action shool, dumb 'merican.

>>11024947
Kinda.
Politicians support polices that get them votes. Giving free stuff to poor people gets those poor people to vote for you.

That's really where the only support for communism or socialism comes from: those people who are both dumb and poor think they're going to get free stuff so they support said plans. Or, the powerful people who realize they can use the promise of free stuff in order to garner support/votes/etc.

I don't think this kid understands what a "subsidy" is.

Here's a hint: farmers get subsidized directly even when there AREN'T any buyers for their products. A subsidy stimulates supply, not demand.

>>11024983
exactly they are getting the money either way.

>>11024983

>>11024932
Makes about as much sense as fake tits on a nun.

>>11025007
>farmers are getting the money either way.

Fun Fact: EBT cards are used for common things like detergent, school supplies, foreign goods & foods. So no, farmers "aren't getting their money either way."

>>11024853

Glad to see people are finally waking up.

>>11024884

You can thank Obama for "helping" his fellow blacks to much.

>>11024849
You have to be disabled, elderly and/or homeless to qualify for hot meals even then.

I used to live in a really poor area and I can't even blame people for using their EBT on junk food. A giant two liter of soda is 88 cents and a bottle of organic juice is 4.50$. Everyone knows what the right choice would be, but the price discrepancy is so god damn high that someone making minimum wage pretty much has no choice but to pick the soda

>>11025116
You could just drink water instead

>>11025090
I want to see that adjusted as a percentage of the population, not just the total number. Just like crime stats, need percentages in order to properly assess the data. What is the percentage spike when obama took office?

>>11025116
Neither of those options is correct.
Water is.

>>11025125
That would be oppressive, just like slavery. R E P A R A S H U N S

>>11024839
EBT is managed by state moron. Most states have that rule, but Cali doesn't because its a socialist shithole that favors the poor.

>>11025041
Sorry.

>>11025158
Even California is still generally no hot foods unless you qualify for the restaurant meals program, which you have to live in certain counties to do, and you gotta be either disabled, homeless or older than 60.

>>11025153
is this real

>>11024860

Good luck with that. Blacks will never not vote democrat.

I can understand stuff like fast food and inconvenience stores but it means you can't buy a whole cooked chicken from a supermarket

I've been poor but never applied for relief. Nigger leeches

>>11025226
True, but it's all about making the program and what you can buy easy to understand, even if you're retarded.

>>11025187
I dunno, I didn't look for the tweets, but it's the point I'm getting at. Percentages are important when you're talking populations because the number of people in the U.S. has grown so of course the number of welfare recipients has grown as well.

>>11025090
>fellow blacks
Fun fact: Wh*tes exceed blacks in those categories by almost 3 to 1 except disability where they're much higher due to muh diabetes.

>>11025319

They assumed that cooked food wouldn't give you proper nutrition and wanted people to get whole fresh foods that you would prepare yourselves. But then they covered canned goods like soup and pasta so it's really just a jumbled mess.

>>11024815
The gov wants you to eat that wonderbread and not good bread

>>11026082
Soup and pasta can be part of a nutritious diet and they're the sort of cheap filler poor folks need. Those neetbux would run out pretty quick if you really could only buy fresh stuff and then some of them don't have a refrigerator or any way to get a store regularly enough to make fresh stuff work.

Yep, obama's food assistance helped twice as many wh*tes as blacks and you ingrates still denigrate him. Pretty hypocritical of the wh*te supremacist alt-right when he was helping out a lot more of your buttbuddies than blacks. Shame on your ingratitude.

>>11028316
>obama's food assistance helped twice as many wh*tes as blacks

Frankly, Obama wasn't a very good black president at all. Hell, even slick willie clinton and dubya were better for African Americans than Obama.

>>11024786
So poor people cant just go out to mcdonalds with food stamps

Just no hot foods makes it so they have to buy food to prepare and not just get free resturant food because that is something that is a luxury that they shouldnt make other people pay for.

> Black Lives Matter Toronto Co-Founder Needs To Resign

You probably never heard of Yusra Khogali before.

As the co-founder of the Toronto chapter of Black Lives Matter, Khogali is used to being an outspoken leader for a movement that has seen more publicity than nearly any other activist group in North America over the past two years.

Now, normally my white skin would admittedly preclude me from even suggesting that a black activist should hang up the megaphone, but Khogali has made a habit of directing violent, hateful language towards people with white skin, so much so that I feel comfortable calling her out. She once mused that just by having white skin, white people are sub-human. She tried to qualify that statement by saying white people did not have a high amount of melanin, which prevents them from absorbing light, and with it a sense of moral clarity.

Now, maybe if this was her only controversial statement all could be forgiven, but this is a pattern of hate that can't be ignored any longer. In April 2016 Khogali tweeted "Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today. Plz Plz Plz."

>>11028509

But that can't absolve Khogali from being held accountable for constantly inserting hate speech into the ether of Toronto activism. If I were a member of BLM, I'd hopefully understand that her words are harmful to the movement's stated goals of ending institutionalized racism, and the more she speaks the less credibility the movement carries.

There is a strange trend that some activists use to provide themselves cover for engaging in hate speech. They say that because the system they live under has racial problems, they should be absolved from being held accountable when they make violent, absurd statements, especially against whites.


To saddle Trudeau with a label as hyperbolic as "white supremacist terrorist" is to engage in a kind of activism that belittles your own cause.

Recently, Khogali labelled Justin Trudeau a "white supremacist terrorist" for not changing our refugee policy as a response to Donald Trump's executive order that would temporarily halt the flow of refugees and immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries. Trump's decision is controversial even among Republicans, but to saddle Trudeau with a label as hyperbolic as "white supremacist terrorist" is to engage in a kind of activism that belittles your own cause.

>>11028509

And to be honest, I really don't care if this comes off as "whitesplaining." That's a word designed to get white people to shut up about important issues. It's part of the lexicon among some activists that doesn't serve the greater good, which is supposed to be justice and equality for everyone.

But if you continuously isolate and vilify white folks -- without crafting your language in a way that separates actual racists from white allies -- how can you ever expect to grow the movement to a size where the system would have no choice but to change for the better? Moreover, how do you reconcile using divisive, prejudicial language to describe an entire race of people when part of your fight is to stop white people from doing the exact same thing?

>>11028502
/pol/ IS 4Chan now.
Get used to it. The days of your secret animu club are long gone.

> Khogali also faced controversy in the news for a tweet posted a year ago stating: “Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today.”

“Whiteness is not humxness,” the statement begins. “infact, white skin is sub-humxn.” The post goes on to present a genetics-based argument centred on melanin and enzyme.

“White ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual,” the post reads towards the end. “white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.”

Khogali did not respond to requests for comment from the Sun.

That would cost more than the food stamp program. Each MRE costs 7.25 a meal for the government.

>>11028543

they don't need to be going out and buying steak and lobster with their stamps

>>11028365
It's already been established in this thread that commiefornia has a hot meals program for the disabled, elderly and/or homeless. That doesn't mean anyone with ebt can go there and it's limited to something like 8 counties, it's not standard.

>>11028547
Look into the criticisms of the Amercia's Harvest Box proposal, but the tl:dr is that it would be complicated than it sounds to implement and the cost of administration for such a program would increase.

>>11028561
people should feel shame for being on food stamps. so they get a job and get off them. they shouldn't be able to pick whatever they want. bland boring survival food only.

>>11028624
Actually, in most states you can only stay on food stamps for 3 months if you're unemployed, unless you're disabled, elderly, pregnant or already have dependents. Doesn't stop people from spawning as many brats as they can, but it stops a lot of bums.

>>11024847
That’s retarded we have a restaurant/market here and you can buy ready to eat food that’s nice and hot with the stamps. It’s legal because when you pay for it you are paying for the raw food and they cook it for you after you pay as a courtesy. “You buy, we fry” if you will. I’m in California btw.

Unfortunately that shits usually all fried and it’s expensive as fuck. I went there a couple of times and it wasn’t worth the $13 I spent of food stamps. I’d rather go to my local grocer and buy premade food that I just have to throw in the toaster oven or microwave if I don’t feel like cooking.

i get $200 a month and that shit rolls over into the next month if i don't spend it all. i have like $300 in food stamps right now and i just bought groceries. how the fuck do niggers blow through their food stamps in less than a month? don't answer this; it's a rhetorical question.

>don't answer this; it's a rhetorical question.

Oh, but I will. I live in an EBT heavy area. The answer is always going to be soda.

If you do you should be ashamed, ive gone a few days without eating a couple times in my life when money came down to it and before i learned to have emergency food supplies. Taking handouts is bullshit, as is making me pay for your neet bux

>>11024783
Not in my store. All prepared foods are not allowed by food stamps or ebt.

>>11031662
why not? it's not like i'm homeless, i'm just a wage slave. thanks to the food stamps, i've been able to actually save money.

>>11031683

>>11024786
The general idea is that food stamps are supposed to pay for basic shit and heating up food requires an employee to prepare it in the store. Supermarket sushi I don't believe is usually prepped in the store so you can buy it. I really don't get it. I honestly think the only things you should be able to buy with food stamps are your basic ingredients like uncooked chicken and watermelon.

>>11031704
what? use your words, anon.

>>11031679
But ebt eligibility isn't set by the store.

>>11031711
Nah, stores don't set it, but stores can kinda play with the rules of what counts as prepared food or not so long as there is a good explanation. Store I was at would put bacon on sandwiches and we cooked the bacon in the store so technically wouldn't fall under EBT. People with EBT could still order it on their sandwiches even if they were using EBT to pay. Also, sandwiches.

>>11031710
NO LOGICAL HUMAN WOULD HAVE A BABY IF BEING ON FOOD STAMPS WAS THEIR GRAND SOLUTION TO SAVE MONEY FOR IT

Go back to your alex jones, your /pol/ safespace, and your corporate cuckery. Keep calling republicans the party of personal responsibility while blaming all your problems on minorities. Keep calling the republicans the party of freedom and small government while they blow billions on police to arrest people for smoking a fucking plant. Keep calling the left anti-science 'cuz some dumb liberal college kids think there are 177 genders, while the right pushes climate change denial, pushes for creationism to be taught in schools, and makes enemies of popular scientific spokespeople like Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye. Keep pushing insane conspiracy theories like pizzagate. There's a reason why the republicans get the most votes in redneck states with the lowest IQs and the least education. There's a reason why scientists and professors tend to be liberal, and no Jethro, it has nothing to do with your insane conspiracies.

> B-b-but muh SJWs!!

Yes, fuck them too. See how you have to attack the most extremist fringes of the left to make a good point, while we can attack your mainstream politicians and their policies?

Heaven forbid any tax dollars goes towards anything that helps the poor or middle class instead of being handed to corporate fatcats. Welfare is fine when it's for the rich and we don't call it welfare! Keep arguing that people busting their ass 5 or more days a week shouldn't make enough for both food and rent in the most prosperous nation in the world. It's not like the econony benefits when the working class can actually afford to buy shit! Trickle down econonics is gud 'cuz rich peoplez says so! Why would they lies??

Because they ring it up as something else besides hot food. People in detroit use EBT to buy beer and cigarettes all the time.

>>11032285
No, that one is California where they actually have a program that lets certain EBT recipients get fast food with it. There's a difference between a store doing something illegal under the table and a huge chain proudly advertising it. Some places also use the loophole of selling the food cold, so it's perfectly by the rules and then heating it as a free service after the sale, that's how pic related happens.

>SNAP
>Pizza

Fuck I hate this place at times

>>11032332
How's that any different from someone buying a frozen pizza or even ingredients to make a pizza with food stamps?

>>11032335
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't SNAP meant for pregnant women and small children and as a side I personally think you shouldn't be able to.

>>11032335
Idk, I had to be on snap for a while and I wasn't allowed to have a lot of things, especially hot food.

I clocked up a surplus of 500 dollars in my account before I just stopped needing to use it.

180 bucks a month is more than enough for one person.

My in laws completely live off social/snap, it feels gross going to a store and seeing them buy 300 bucks in groceries with a link card.

>>11032344
That's WIC and it's totally strict, you actually have to buy fairly nutritious food with it. SNAP is just the name for the food stamps program.

>>11032358
My bad, i'm just going off horror stories my friend told me from when he worked as a cashier a few years ago.

Here's what you can buy with WIC, I really wish food stamps had a similar sort of limitation.
I bet your friend probably watched people with food stamps get horrendous stuff. Happens all the time like >>11032348 says, people can and do get a big cart of 300+ dollars of total garbage with regular food stamps.

>>11032362

Ah, I can explain that. Before they used checks and basically went on an honor system [read: they expected you to get the right items but no one knew/expected you to know what they were] but they recently switched to the card which is MUCH more strict.

>>11032364
Ya he would tell me people would carts full of food and pay with EBT then pull out a massive wad of cash to buy enough booze and cigarettes to keep a high school party going for a week

>>11032371
See, that's the thing though, the whole system is actually set up to encourage that kind of bullshit. You lose your food stamps and most other benefits if your household ever gets more than 2,500 (3,500 if you're over 60) dollars worth of assets. They literally are not allowed to save money, so why not spend it on booze and cigarettes?

>>11031752
are you retarded or something? i never said food stamps was my solution for saving money for the baby. i have a savings account for our child. you know people budget their incomes, right?

>>11024783
What i like about sushi is that you can eat it while playing world of warcraft. Not meaning that anyone should play world of warcraft. And if one decides to play world of warcraft. This is your own choice.

>>11031711
I didn't say it was. I just said my store doesn't do it. Only junk food, cans, and uncooked meats were allowed for ebt purchase. It's not like any of them bought meat anyways.

>>11031705
Seriously? My store had NA actual sushi chef who prepared fresh sushi every day, same for all the sandwiches. Everything was prepared in store early in the morning. You probably don't get to see yours make it

>>11024783
How about getting a fucking job faggot

You're a single dad, anon, just make sure to spend on healthy food for the kid(s).

>Section 8 covers like 10% of the people who need it.
One huge problem is that only crime-infested neighborhoods get section 8 housing so no one wants to go on it.

>>11024786
people are being retarded, it's all about tax
providing hot food counts as a service
you can't buy a service with food stamps

>>11024784
Depends...

If you are elderly, homeless, or disabled you may purchase hot food or visit restaurants and pay with EBT in several counties of California. Look for this sign.

Also after disasters like hurricanes, they often lift the hot food ban.
