Cliffs:

We're lifting restrictions in bars and restaurants, but you still have to maintain distance between tables and patrons.

$13 billion for nutrition programs is a waste. We'll always be a fat country.

I watched a video called Easy breakfast casserole. It was glazed donuts covered in a can of evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, a cake mix and a cup of butter. Baked and then eaten. No part of that should be breakfast or really even dessert.

MEANWHILE, in reality: childhood obesity rates have been declining.

"Nutrition programs" probably means "making sure people have food to eat" anyway.

I hope some of it is spent on nutrient education, maybe some basic cooking. Too many poor-ish people buying shit food because it seems cheaper and easier. If they knew more they could have better nutrients and be just as full, for the same or less. And more variety. My son's household is a good example - he was taught better but his wife is generational poors. And thus goes the standards of the household.
 
When I was at my lowest budget between 2013-2017, I had a $1.33 per meal allowance. I could’ve ditched Hulu and had another 7¢ per meal I suppose.

I remember it being recommended that I use it all for beans and rice. Yep. Nutritious. Extremely boring too. Appetizing? Not so much.

That was the main reason when I was admitted to the hospital in 2019, I was estimated to be 65% malnourished.

It’s not always about poor choices. In some cases, yes, but that isn’t the majority of hunger cases.
