I kept getting fired because of health problems God the "infallible Creator" inflicted on me. I didn't have a choice. I did the best I could with the body God condemned me to live with. Not my fault. I did everything I physically could to be hired and kept somewhere.
If God intended me to be an independent human then maybe He should have did a better job creating me.
Let's see. If someone was in prison would they rather....
be locked up in a cell all day
or
given the opportunity to go outside in the fresh air & sunshine to farm food for the prison.
Shouldn't be too hard to figure that one out.
(to answer your question ... it's you )
So...we make more and more things illegal, increase our prisons so they hold more and more, and then use that slave labor to compete against the work that free citizens do. Think this through.
If it was JUST making food for JUST the prison I might agree, but the reality is....we don't need businesses employing regular citizens to compete with jail based businesses with near free labor.
Nothing says smaller govt. than the govt. telling people what they can eat
Right-wing logic: the government can't regulate your guns, but they can regulate your marriage, sex life, religion, and now food... and not in the good way, lol!
There is also the ignorance in the classic right-wing notion that "welfare bums are spending all mah money on soda with food stamps!" That is simply incorrect:
That being said, I'm naturally leery of anything "charitable" Trump proposes... let's just say he has a horrible record in that regard.
I wonder what'll be in these food boxes... and I wonder when we'll discover that they are basically dog food, etc. or some nonsense... Or the kick backs some cronies of his are getting, and so on. We're essentially saying that the poor shouldn't get to choose what they eat anymore: I can't imagine how that'll end badly.

Or poor regulations allowing a bunch of them to get poisoned in a way that destroys livers, leading to the poor being killed off at a massive rate suddenly.
LOL.
Nah, most likely it will be the usual corruption. Maybe the Trump branded food box that one of his sons manages the underlying contracts and companies.
how are milk, ready to eat cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned fruit, vegetables, and meat, poultry or fish 'trash foods'?
Now, now, we all know people only spend food stamps on soda and lobster tail - I'm sure I read that somewhere on some screwball right-wing website. Reality be danged, of course.
Seriously, how does anybody think this is a good idea? It's more government inefficiency, adds another layer of complexity and potential kickbacks and screwups, and literally solves no problem whatsoever. And this is coming from the "ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do!" crowd, who is now apparently fine with the government telling people what they can eat... provided it's "somebody else" being affected, of course.
If Obama had proposed this, the righties would have been up in arms about how wasteful this idea would be, how insane it is to get the government into food distribution, and how there's probably some kickbacks to some cronies who would package and distribute the food. But the moment Trump the Orange proposes this dumb idea, righties forget their small government stance AND Trump's horrible track record and think it's the greatest idea ever cuz "it'll make those welfare bums stop eating soda and lobster tail" or some delusional nonsense.
Most welfare people don't know how to cook except to microwave prepared food. Unless the food is already prepared, they'll throw it out. Do away with this type of welfare entirely.
The idea is probably good in theory, I just have no faith in government to administer something like this any better than some of the other mismanaged programs.
