Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13127957 Food, Water, and survival needs should not cost anything. Anyone else agree? This already exists. In many forms. Government food programs. Government cheeses, meats, peanutbutter, etc. There are many soup kitchens, half-way houses and homes set up by churches and communities. Oh, and don't forget the biggest soup line of all: The big shots tried to hold it back; Fools tried to wish it away The hopeful depend on a world without end; Whatever the hopeless may say |

Larphillips User ID: 71548315 United States 03/10/2016 10:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The striving for basic needs is what put the human race at the top of the food chain. The striving built civilization, promoted innovation, growth, and achievement. The striving vastly improved the gene pool and weeded out the weak, poorly developed, and ill-prepared. I would say the LACK of striving in modern times is quickly sinking us as a species and allowing the unintelligent, weak, and lazy to thrive and over-breed. No...I think there is too little striving these days and the human race is worse off for it. “A person is smart, people are stupid.” “Nobody knows until everybody knows” |

The food costs should be lower because it now costs LESS to transport it. Someone is making huge profits off this bullshit! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13127957 I'm thinking... I'm thinking that, if I were to labor two thirds of my life away to PRODUCE food, i.e. cultivate the land, plant and nurture crops and such, and someone came along and demanded I give up all that labor so that you can get a free lunch, I'd probably find it easier to put a bullet in them.

Buy meat and staple pantry items in bulk. Grow a vegetable and herb garden. Dump all of the processed, pre-packaged, and EXPENSIVE food items. With some basics - chicken, beef, potatoes, onions, garlic, flour, sugar, butter, milk, and a well-stocked spice cabinet, you have thousands of meal options, while only visiting the store for fresh produce. Make big meals, double portions, and seal and freeze the extra. Twice the meals with less work and less money. There are endless ways to stretch your food dollar is you're willing to put in minimal effort and a little creativity. “A person is smart, people are stupid.” “Nobody knows until everybody knows” |

Fresh baked, sliced Italian bread is $1 a loaf at Walmart Other breads can be found for $1 a loaf, or less, at bakery outlet stores Beef can be under $3/lb if purchased in bulk Chicken and turkey are amazingly inexpensive if purchased as a whole bird. The chicken can be carved or roasted, the carcass will be the perfect base for an amazingly rich and tasty stock. Buy a meat grinder and you can use your beef and pork trimmings to make your own ground beef, sausages and hot dogs. You'll be at least 1/2 your cost, if not even less, if you put in the effort and shop the sales. Or pay more for the convenience...but that's all it is - convenience.

Also, you better get your facts straight. 200-300% profit?! That's a ludicrous claim! I live in rural farmland and I can promise you the overhead, government regulations, and competing with the multi-national corporations take out a WAY larger amount of that income than you imagine. The producers of this nation suffer while people like you demand more and more free shit! A lion will starve if he lays idle and catches no prey. It's the natural order. Live with it, or starve. |
