/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>10604751
Food (not soy protein and corn product) is expensive as fuck in America.

>>10604755
If food is expensive in america, how is everyone so fat?

>>10604751
Let's send a spice girl out shopping and see how fucking retarded her purchases are.

>>10604751
>Why are americans so inept at grocery shopping?

Who the fuck does grocery shopping when Burger King accepts EBT?

>>10604762
because they eat like shit

>>10604762
>how is everyone so fat?
see
>>10604755
>soy protein and corn product
also HFCS. Not because it is evil, but because it is heavily subsidized, therefore cheap and in everything.

>>10604762
>(not soy protein and corn product)
:)

If food is so expensive in america, why not import things like rice from asia and beans from south america?

>>10604769
You can only get prepared food with EBT if you have some exceptional situation that makes cooking difficult (generally this means the homeless, who obviously wouldn't have cooking tools and a stove, and the severely disabled).

>>10604762
It's not expensive, he's probably fat.

Only thing I see missing is a pack of chicken breasts or thighs and you've got a solid bunch of groceries. A bunch of eggs, a bunch of beans and rice with some tortillas and vegetables. I see nothing wrong with this. If more SNAP families ate like this they wouldn't be poor and fat as shit with their little heifer pack of rat children waddling down the street or breaking a sweat walking from the counter to the table at MacDonald's.

A single person gets 190 a month that is just complete bullshit

>>10604793
We export rice from California to Asia...

>>10604805
Why?

>>10604796
>a pack of chicken breasts
Why are americans obsessed with chicken, the most overpriced of the meats?

>>10604810
If american food is so cheap it can undercut markets where the exported crops came from in the first place, then how is american food so expensive?

>>10604817
Why what? I am saying what that tweet said is bullshit not that the person getting more money is bad

>>10604751
HALF OF THE COST ON THAT FUCKING PICTURE IS THE LEMONS LIKE WTF IS THIS DUMB BITCH TRYING TO PROVE

>>10604819

Frozen chicken breasts are really cheap. Hell even the food banks around here have them

Chicken is cheap in the US.
Food isn't expensive in the US. Healthy (or healthier, or whatever word you want to use) food is a bit more expensive than unhealthy food.
Also we produce huge amounts of some foodstuffs (rice and wheat, come to mind) and therefore can undercut prices in other regions.

>>10604845
Yeah she is full of shit and it pisses me off how easily people eat it up without checking the facts

>>10604819
It’s not that food is expensive, it’s that Americans just don’t have quality jobs and are underpaid and overworked, that two weeks paid vacations is a luxury).

>>10604819
Chicken is the among the cheapest meats, though I will agree that chicken breast in particular are an overpriced meme.

American rice is not undercutting local rice, it's filling demand that Chinese rice farms can't meet.

>>10604843

>>10604857
oy wtf I want 192$ for free food a month
where do I apply
do I have to be a nigger?

>>10604755
Because soy and corn are so fucking heavily subsidized

Your 'free market' is completely corrupt

>>10604883
Live at a halfway house. It technically makes you homeless. They're more expensive than real housing though so it balances out.

>>10604859
If america is the land of the free and the land of opportunity, why is everyone so poor and oppressed?

>>10604819
You can get like 5lbs of thigh for like 10-12 bucks; a little bit more for breasts.

Pork and chicken are both cheap in the US.

>>10604883
You apply at your local county office. You show them proof of income and then get money. No you don't need to be a nigger my dad had been on it for a long time and is super white
>>10604892
You don't need to be homeless

>>10604793
We grow a shit ton of rice you retard

57billion a year goes to farm subsidies in the EU. Sugar is expensive because you used to restrict it to prop up your domestic producers. It's artificial.

>>10604762
Sugar drinks Value Menu meals bro. Gotta feed the cancers right to keep everyone in business.

>>10604927
US subsidizes farms to the point it is profitable for them to grow more corn and then let it rot.

the system is just horrifically broken

>>10604937
Some farmers heat their house with corn.

>>10604937
I'm sorry we have the best climate and technology to grow the most corn. It's not really anything you need to worry about, with your Netflix documentary tier education level on the issue.

>>10604959

>>10604835
For real. Half of that entire image is just fucking vegetables. If you really only had 30 bucks buy some more eggs beans and meats goddamn i hate fucking people

>>10604835
>WTF IS THIS DUMB BITCH TRYING TO PROVE
Rich people who shop at Whole Foods don't understand EBT
But they do understand what a "living wage" has to be

>>10605204
>Trying to use racist shit like "facts" and "data"

I was on EBT when in between jobs and working odd jobs for like 1.1k/month and got $150/month as a single person which is $37.5/week. If a family you get more. Also if you put a minimum effort into cooking you can just buy flour, masa harina, etc and make artisan breads, tortillas, pasta, whatever. Since I know how to cook and shop, $37.5/week was enough to eat fairly well although you definitely have to put some thought into every purchase. If you're supporting a big family and don't have any income then it would probably be a lot harder even though you'd receive more, I was right at the income cutoff threshold.

>>10605123

Black: 17,100,000
Hispanic: 8,550,000
Percent of population on Food Stamps by Race:
White: 8.6%
Black: 43.8%
Hispanic: 17%

7 LIMES

SIETE LIMA

In college I ate for $20/week

buy 20lb bag of rice, 20lb bag of beans, multivitamin.

After that 1 big purchase you just subsidize with things that don't make you go crazy, like peanut butter, cheap frozen veggies, bread, pastas.

The biggest problem with poor people is an education issue. If you're smart you can live off of 1/5 of food stamp allowances, but when you're dumb you spend your money on bad shit.

>Whole Foods
The rice and beans are from the Albertsons family of house brands, not from whole foods. The peas are a house brand from another store, I forget which one. Whole Foods house brand is 365 or something like that.

Around here all that food would be like ~$20 (maybe less depending on sales), the single most expensive item would be the eggs.

Sorry, tired, completely fucked up the math. 504 divided by 3 people is obviously way higher. 168 if I haven't fucked up kindergarden math again. That's a lot of produce and even meat in CA. And per month one hell of a lot more than the cunter claims.

How is that possible?

>>10604751
No one on food stamps is going to buy vegetables. If they’re lazy enough to be on SNAP, they’re going to buy fucking microwave burritos or some shit

>>10605956
shes clearly an alcoholic with a taste for tequila

>>10605666
from page you linked:
>As of the latest data released on April 6, 2018 the total is 40.7 million

So then it follows that
>total white ppl receiving food stamps : 40.7 * .389 = 15.8 million
>total blacks : 40.7 * .249 = 10.1 million
>total hispanic : 40.7 * .118 = 4.8 million

I could do the math but it's clear that blacks and hispanics together = the number of whites receiving food stamps, even though there are about twice as many whites as blacks+hispanics combined (estimate).

>>10605742
>the single most expensive item would be the eggs.
Jesus, do you like in a country with zero chickens?
Eggs should be the cheapest thing after bulk rice and beans.

Remove non proteins from EBT.

>>10606911
Around here a dozen eggs would be about $2-2.50. That 2lb bag of beans is $1.35, not sure about the rice, but I'd guess it is under $2 (probably the same $1.35).
All that said, there is no way (around here at least) that all that was $29, unless it is organic produce. But that would be fucking silly.

>>10604751

SNAP is not fucking food stamps. SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and as implied it is only meant to supplement an already existing food budget, and is also why there are more strict requirements for what you can buy.

My bro is on real food stamps. He gets like $80 just for himself. And, the shitty bastard spends almost all of it on cans of soda so that he can turn them in and get $0.10 deposit back in cash to buy weed.

>>10607311
SNAP is the name of the program that distributes foodstamps (which are now EBT cards) federally, idiot. Some states have other programs, and there's also WIC.

Also notice that the tweet says "weekly".

>>10607350

No they aren't foodstamps, foodstamps are distributed by the state, and yeah, fuckin dumbshit, I mean per week. My bro gets $80 in actual foodstamps every week, and if he wants to, he'll use SNAP to buy milk and bread as well.

>>10604819
American food isn't expensive. It's dirt fucking cheap compared to other countries.

>>10604780

>>10607311
>SNAP is not fucking food stamps

Yes it is. It refers to the exact same thing. Your brother is on vouchers, which is not food stamps.

>>10604751
>Why are americans so inept at grocery shopping?
When you're at least three if not four generations removed from home cooking, its easy to understand, when people call margarine "butter" and evaporated milk "cream" it seriously begins to dawn on you these people have no fucking clue not just what to shop for but no fucking clue what is even edible.

I mean just look at that picture, the most ridiculous thing in that picture, truly has to be the kale and the corn tortillas, afterwards the sweet potato, limes, avocado and cilantro come at a very close mid tier ridiculous. all because of pricing. Kale will cost you at a cheap place, $1 a bunch and it just doesn't yield a hell of a lot for meals. Cabbage is the cheapest food you can buy in the USA, at 50 cents a pound at most places, it will yield a lot for a meal if you're ok with cabbage, it is laughable that picture does not include carrots at $1 a pound it is one of the cheapest veggies you can also eat on.
>>10604769
I know people who work 40 hours a week and qualify for EBT, fuck off with this shit to /pol/
>>10604762
Good question, I moved from USA to Europe and lost 15lbs doing nothing, food is just different, junk food is cheap in both places, but one particular note of interest in the USA is that junk food is sold in volume, it is stocked and incentivized to be purchased in higher quantities than in Europe, while in USA you will buy a 20oz bottle of Coke for 1.79 or 3 for $3, in Europe that bottle is 16.9oz or 500ml and its 99 cents. no volume discounts. Same for snack cakes, I can go buy a single snack cake for 30 or 40 cents in EU, in USA you have to buy a whole fucking box for 2.99 or 3.99, you end up with more junk, and you end up consuming more junk as a result.

>>10611290

>fuck of hormones
God you fuckers are retarded. That's so damned federally banned and has been for decades. No one would dare do it for fear of having their operation shut down. Steroids as well. The same applies to pork.

Large operations rarely use antibiotics either because poultry antibiotics are expensive as fuck so unless things are getting really bad they won't do anything.

Beef is where growth hormones are used and those are arguably very natural, not Jekyll and Hyde super-serums.

And, in fact, their EU colleagues agree. The European food safety regulator EFSA looked at the issue of chlorine treatment and found “chemical substances in poultry are unlikely to pose an immediate or acute health risk for consumers.”
Nice fucking opinion anon. This is like facebook tier trickle-down information you take to heart.

>>10611336
those two are very different. if you have a meat counter at your grocery store and can buy a single lb of chicken or half a pound or 15lbs of it that is one thing you can name the price by the pound all you want.

if on the other hand you have packaged meats then the pound price is just marketing. price may be 79 cents per pound but if you can never buy a single pound because all the packages have weights like 5lbs or, even worse, variable weights because not all chickens weigh the same, it becomes impossible to compare prices because you dont buy by the pound you buy by the pack. congrats on having a meat counter by the way.

>>10611348
The store prefaces that savings packs must be 3lbs or more. I have no problem with buying 3 lbs of chicken breast(3-4 breasts) and freezing two to be used or better yet giving them to or cooking them for others.
Are you so up your own ass you cant accept facts?

>>10611344
>It is a FACT that bleach is used on chicken
bleach is used in your drinking water, it doesnt make it a bad thing, it literally disinfects the water, and it does the same thing for the chicken, no one literally uses clorox on your chicken it is used in concentrations appropriate for this particular use.

Lmao our tysons come prelabeled actually. Those must be the filler chicken packages you're imagining.
I love how this wasn't an issue until someone mentioned getting it cheaper than you could in europe lmao

>>10611366
You don't seem to be capable of reading comprehension, why should I bother sourcing anything for you? Google it yourself.

>>10604762
It's incredibly cheap, in college I would eat for 2 weeks on about 30-45 bucks while holding down a 30ish hour a week job.

This stupid OP image is, some bitch was probably going to whole foods or something not walmart/discount mart or what not. Not to mention use of coupons makes 30 bucks go a long fucking way.

>>10611372
>Ozone Park NY and Greene NY are in Europe
Fascinating

>>10611357
its not a matter of facts anon, its a matter of drinking the koolaid, I refuse to accept prices per pound if you cant buy the item by the weight. the simple fact they price it by weight doesnt mean theyre not fucking you. the way they choose to present you the price, be it by weight or by unit, its not for your fucking benefit.

when you use such phrasings you are doing the work of marketeers, they use pound prices to make it sound cheaper than it is in reality. its like saying you should by XYZ its less than 25 cents a day.

>>10611374
At no point did anyone say they didnt chemically treat anything though, you just knee-jerk went on the defensive.
Source me in the thread where any of what you greentext'd happened.
Can't google that, tardo.

City lines here break every 3 months and they ask people to boil their water for a day or two.

I serious have stopped drinking tap. American infrastructure is shit in a lot of areas.

No I meant the whole /ree'ing reactions.
I also live in new york and surprise surprise things are less expensive in the city. Who would have thought.
>>10611378
>just get woke
LMAO!
>I refuse to accept the prices per pound if you cant buy the item buy the weight
... anon what do you think buying by the price per pound means...
>doesnt mean theyre not fucking you
I literally work there. I would be the one fucking myself.

Oops I clicked reply twice, I guess that made me twice as defensive!
But then again you keep replying to me, so how defensive does that make you?

>>10611395

Fuck, I meant the opposite of that. Things are 'surprisingly' more expensive in the city hue.

>>10611405
>Fuck, I meant the opposite of that
How much of the rest of your posts should I apply this to now, so we can agree to agree instead of agreeing to disagree?

Either way I'm off to drink the rest of this wine and watch some pretentious foreign films (without subtitles, because I am very cultured)

Thank you for your service

I'm just trying to point out inaccuracies. The post that your link was responding to was >>10611293 which was entirely opinion based with no source or any kind of base.

>>10611378
Holy fuck man. They're saving time and money by prepackaging and selling in guaranteed quantities in bulk, which is why larger amounts are cheaper per pound.

This is not them ass-raping you, buy a refrigerator and avoid drinking anything whoever you've been talking to offers you.

It is a damn shame how true this is. I've given up believing the people that promise they are going to fix it.

>>10611464
I'm not the one making distractions anon. I'm not contradicting myself and if I am I'd love to have you point it out. Wouldn't that be a nice 'fuckyou'? Right? Show me.

Because Americans are busy, and convenience trumps good cooking.

>>10604751
I'm looking at OP's pic and I am desperately trying to find the problem with it.

.... Is it just too vegetarian?

>>10611539
While the vegetables are a nice thought, to not be starving for a week on 29 dollars you would need more calorie dense food.

>>10604751

Why is the rest of the world so obsessed with what Americans are doing?

>>10605957
Dude the most ive seen it is 6 bucks
Tf do you live

>>10611539
The problem is 7 fucking limes, kale, and leeks. You could ditch the lettuce, tomato, and avocado, but really just avoid the 7 fucking limes. Get chicken breasts instead. Hell, you could get like 100 ramen noodles and have plenty leftover to get other shit. Why anyone would get such poorly low calorie foods when there are cheap dense foods is beyond me. But that's politics and how they push their agenda.

>>10611618
The average price of boneless skinless chicken breast in Honolulu is 7USD. Expatistan showed Moab, Utah having an average price of 8 USD. It wouldn't surprise me if some mountainous areas have a cost of 10 bucks. I was shocked to see parts of Alaska only having costs of 3-5.

>>10611615
Nobody actually cares. Except that asking "do X do Y" gets guaranteed replies. It's babby's first troll since fuckwits can't help but to reply.

>>10611653
7/8usd per what.... breast? pound?

>>10604762
because everyone eats cheap soy protein and corn product instead of food lmao

>>10611756
>per what.... breast?
>The average price of boneless skinless chicken breast
Do you have ADHD or are just drunk? Of course it's per pound, not random ass sized breasts from Alaska to Utah. I have yet to see a grocer or butcher sell breasts per each for domesticated poultry, and it would be a nightmare for a statistics website to list that.

>>10604897
You're fucking up if you pay $2/lb for thigh. On sale here its $0.69/lb

>>10604751
this is more than enough if you are living alone, if you are a family you should be able to pull together 10 times what this costs in a single day with literally 0 problems.

>>10611756
4 breasts is about $16 USD right now on the east coast

>>10611861
But I live in new york and our packs of chicken boneless skinless are 79 cents a pound, 1.49 when theyre not on sale. From sandersons farms. And 5 breasts to a package is is 4-5 lbs.
>>10611820
>one flat price regardless of weight
wew....

>>10611861
I had to go look in the freezer after that, a whole 5lb chicken is 5 bucks here, 10 leg quarters was 6.72, I don't have any breasts frozen right now, so i cant comment on their price.

>>10611861
This must be trolling. Near the capitol and can get chicken breast on sale for $1.50 a pound.
Better bits like thighs for cheaper.

>>10611887
Maybe I should smuggle cigarettes to N.Y., and turn the profit to smuggle chicken breast to wherever>>10611861 is

Corn tortillas are fine. Buying a bunch of limes is the most puzzling part to me.

Why do Americans still measure things in ounces and pounds?
Is it medieval larping gone too far?

>>10611929
reservation senecas are tax free and 27 dollars a carton, marlbs I think are 56 a carton I think?
The rest of the state is fucked tho hue.
>>10611944
I'd rather pay by weight than a flat fee for package that probably contains less...

>>10604805
I get $18 a month :^)

Wealth transfers to the richest, poor labor protections.

>>10611961
That doesn't make any sense. If the rich get money it does't magically disappear. If the rich spend it on expensive shit then the money ends up going to the employees of the companies the rich people are buying stuff from. If the rich put the money in the bank then the bank loans out the money at a 10:1 ratio (literally creating wealth; read up on fractional reserve banking), at which point 10 times that amount of money trickles down to other people.

>>10611944
Why do British people still measure people's weight in stones? Don't rocks come in different sizes? Has tribal larping gone too far?

Probably because I only need 3 oz of butter chuckles, not 84 grams. Our system is more comfortable for day to day purposes but people use both. You don't see me measuring shit in Kelvin because it's more scientific.

>>10611968

>>10611944
I use metric for chemistry and more complex baking.
Otherwise, our measurements just make more sense for day to day usage.
Especially Fahrenheit over Celsius, it makes so much more sense for human body temps. Don't go out if it's below 0° or above 100°, or you face much higher rish of death to exposure even with proper attire.
The smaller demarcation makes sense to me as well, when I can feel the difference between 74°F and 75°F, and even the transition to ambient getting too warm between.

>>10611983
Midwesterner here, I've seen limes cost 80-90 cents a piece but yeah he's a faggot.

That being said you shouldn't be buying 30 limes a month if you're concerned about survival. There are areas they could be spending 27 dollars on limes, granted that would be poor spending habits, but so is buying a small bag of whole grain brown rice, a bundle of cilantro which isn't going to give them much nutrition, romaine lettuce, and a ten for 3USD of tortillas (yep just looked that shit up).

>>10604755
Food is cheap as dirt in America. I get jelly whenever I see your prices.

>>10611995
I don't know but it does look kinda funny.

>>10612020
Then add in 1 person gets like $35-60 a week on ebt/snap. I know I could feed 3 people on $300 a month.
The left has taken to lying so hard that learning you supported their bullshit is absolutely infuriating.

Not to mention every fucking church on Earth will let you be a glutton on Sunday if you can make it through the service. If your stomach grumbles excuse yourself (some old guy gave me his "pew snack" as he called it when this happened to me).

These fuckers are literally a religious militia that are about keeping the peace and taking care of people. I really wish someone would do more than a partial translation of the Adi Garanth though.

I only got 89 a month when I was on SNAP. I worked for the postal service so I felt like I deserved it. The majority of what I bought was nuts from Sams club.

>>10604751
Look what they fuckin bought, though.

First off, who knows if this is even true. It's from someone who's a celebrity in California, who has no fucking idea what it's like to live on a budget.

Second off, fuckin kale, green onion, avocado, sweet potato, garlic, lime... Those things you don't need and poor people will not buy them.

Whoever bought this does not have a budget. You can eat damn well for $10 a week, and people who have to find a way.

Chicken breast is $2/lb and thighs are even less. What are they where you live?

>>10612564
like 6$lb and thighs are the cheapest, it only climbs from there

Chicken for $6??? Holy shit, anon, you're being swindled.

>>10612657
It's not the average it is exactly what you get - i know from experience

>>10612669
All that means you qualified for the maximum possible benefits at that time, not that everyone gets that much.
