So you know how in North Korea the government tells its citizens to forage for grass and stuff? How long before we see that in the States?

How long before we see that in the States?

We're about 5 days away from federal food assistance being canceled for the month of November, so less than a week, maybe?

I dont think thats a thing anymore, but there are tons of edible plants growing all around most people in the states. Sometimes youll hear about a recipe involving some random ground weed looking thing or dandelions or something.

But yeah foods sort of fucked right now, I'm lucky I live near an aldis.

Not everything is the same price everywhere in the world, and on top of that plenty of Americans do eat eggs, chicken, and fish. It's just that hamburger helper provides resources for a full meal at a good price, something must needed in a dying economy

They also make Tuna Helper.

Meant to be used with canned fish.

They can’t even afford hamburger to throw in there so I know this cap. How do poor people look at a big box of noodles for $1 and a small box of noodles and seasoning for $2 and buy hberger helper with no hamburger?

Dude. Just so much winning.

I ate plenty of hamburger helper in my life….thought it was pretty good….

No joke it gives the same vibe as those Oddworld ads for some random processed food (à la Soylent Green) made out of the dug-up bones of their own people
