I went grocery shopping last night and the 4 people in front of me all used food stamps or EBT cards. One lady had her cart full frozen food, lunch meat, soda, junk food and baby food.

Then it got me thinking - One of the reasons why restaurant prices are skyrocketing is because people aren't eating out as much and cooking their own meals.

I remember overhearing someone at my job saying that their friend or family member gets $300 a month in stamps plus another $95 for covid relief - $395 in food stamps every month. I don't even think I could eat $200 worth a groceries a month let alone double that.

No wonder why everyone is so fucking fat too.

Yeah I am about to eat half of a $16 ribeye which if that was all I ate every day would be $56 a week.

Half a ribeye per day??! You need like two per day to not be calorie negative.
