    Looking back, it was a lie.

    Did you vote for Trump, Harris, other, or not at all?

    I voted for Trump, but I liked what Harris said; however, she lacked substance on her policy. Which made me suspicious of her ability to govern. I agree. Out-of-control spending and kicking the debt down the road will hurt all the young people in the future. The latest bill is proof and the...

    NBC: Gov. Abbott asks USDA to approve waiver banning junk food purchases with SNAP benefits

    I imagine doing away with the junk food is not doing away with funding. More on Texas: In contrast to federal proposals, Texas has implemented some positive changes to SNAP: As of April 2025, Texas has implemented several enhancements to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to...

    NBC: Gov. Abbott asks USDA to approve waiver banning junk food purchases with SNAP benefits

    Nope, American youth are lazy, at least mine are to some extent, not just poor people, so stop it. When I learned about our food during COVID and tried to tell my kids about processed foods, they were resistant to change until they educated themselves. Supermarket? Who says you need a Kroger...

    I understand addiction, it's hard to get off this forum and do yard work or any type of work.

    NBC: Gov. Abbott asks USDA to approve waiver banning junk food purchases with SNAP benefits

    I can't open the link, but If you're talking about the third ward, I bet those poor kids at the University of Houston are starving because of the lack of groceries. Don't believe everything you read. Try using Google Maps, pick a ward any ward and you'll find a grocery, and by no means is it...

    Junk food has high amounts of refined and added sugar. Unhealthy fats like trans fats, margarines, and shortenings are used in frying. Some vegetable oils and high saturated fats. There are more.

    NBC: Gov. Abbott asks USDA to approve waiver banning junk food purchases with SNAP benefits

    You must be in a rural setting because I grew up in Houston, and there was never a 2-hour anything except going to work and coming home from work. Grocery is everywhere. You mean frozen foods won't spoil either? I guess they'll have to buy the Hamburger Helper without the hamburger.

    NBC: Gov. Abbott asks USDA to approve waiver banning junk food purchases with SNAP benefits

    My youngest son, who is 31, is a great cook, and he learned at a young age by watching cooking shows. Since you mentioned English speaking, I assumed migrants, but from my experience, they know how to cook raw foods better than many Americans. Forbidding to buy of snacks may be a start to...

    Tell me about the lower working-class life. How was your life different? Explain this snappy sound bite? I get it, Abbot is not in your tribe, but after all, it's his job to profit someone in Texas, not a corporation. What is wrong with the beef industry's profit? I also thought agricultural...

    NBC: Gov. Abbott asks USDA to approve waiver banning junk food purchases with SNAP benefits

    I've never heard of this stuff, but I learned more about whole foods visiting Mexico markets than I could ever learn from a grocery store. I agree that foreign women, like my wife, have a better handle on cooking whole foods and herbs than poor or rich American women when it comes to cooking...

    I consider the ones on the left as a whole, even though the cutting is processed, it is the stuff on the right that is harming people. I like to see a small ingredients list. My bad use of terminology.

    Yes, so is healthcare because of these foods. In time, it will pay for itself, and this might not be a bad idea. Remember TV dinners when we were young, I loved them, then in the 80's non-alcoholic fatty liver became a thing. Maybe not, if we could force them to stop poisoning us, then we...

    You'd Better "Stop Believin'" Now

    I like the song also, but it doesn't change anything the song in my mind because of a cartoon picture.
