FOOD FOR THOUGHT

      An interesting article appeared this weekend in the Murdoch-owned New York Post. The USDA, HHS, and DOGE apparently are working with members of the Uniparty in Congress to put restrictions on recipients of Food Stamps (EBT/SNAP). 

    “President Trump has been given a mandate by the majority of Americans to Make America Healthy Again, and those in his administration, like RFK Jr. and Senator Marco Rubio, have directly advocated for eliminating junk food purchases with SNAP,” Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK), who is leading 'The Healthy SNAP Act,' told Fox News Digital.

    On the surface, this idea has some merit; although it's difficult to reconcile what amounts to top-down Social Engineering with Conservatism. It's also a bit unsettling that, with the USDA on the hook to Bill Gates and DOGE under the thumb of Klaus Schwab, such people are going to be deciding what is acceptable food and what isn't.

    The real problem with choices made under the Food Stamp Program is that price-gouging by Big Ag makes healthier food choices unaffordable. Contrary to what many 'Conservatives' seem to imagine, Food Stamps aren't a blank check that recipients use to eat better than non-recipients. According to the article itself, the average SNAP recipient receives $211.93 per month. That's seven dollars a day that they have to spend on food. Considering that a pound of ground beef and a gallon of milk are often over that amount, and whole-grain bread and eggs are fairly close to that, bad food choices are simply being made because it's cheaper. 

    Not only does the public suffer from Big Ag's price-gouging, the proposed tariffs on net agricultural exporters like Canada, Mexico, and China are going to create both more scarcity of prime agricultural products as well as higher prices. In other words, so far from 'protecting public health' this is simply another wealth-transfer scheme. Of course, too, WEF people---who currently dominate the Republican Party---will offer their healthier alternatives and if we don't see the poor outright required to purchase such products, they will be forced to by sheer economic necessity.

      If these fake Conservatives were really concerned about what they claim, they would enforce and enact laws on producers ensuring better standards. They would enforce anti-trust laws against Agricultural Combines and ensure that independent farmers had some level of competition. Instead, though, we've had regulatory agencies gutted of any oversight and Wall Street billionaires and WEF Oligarchs put in charge of policy. The WEF Agenda is fairly clear; by 2030, Americans will have just as much to eat as the Oligarchy thinks necessary to squeeze the maximum production out of them at minimal cost to the Elites. This is to be expected from a political movement which holds up Mediaeval Europe as the ideal society.

    The way to reduce dependence on SNAP and encourage healthier eating choices is to ensure that healthier foods are affordable. The Republicans are doing a replay here of Obamacare---which instead of making healthcare affordable and accessible enriched and empowered the same Plutocrats who want to do for our food supply what they've done for healthcare. Affordability would actually empower consumers, but that isn't what the Uniparty wants. 

    Of course, there's no explaining any of this to the True Believers. When the WEF reaches its goals in 2030 and it takes a six-figure yearly income to buy meat, milk, and bread, you can bet we'll be reading articles on how based and Red Pilled eating the ersatz alternatives really are, or how we should lift ourselves by our bootstraps and how starvation and malnutrition are lifestyle choices. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Robber Barons will go on rioting in the spoils and laughing in their sleeves at the simpletons who empower them.
