The Only Food Poor Americans Can Afford Is Making Them Unhealthy – The Atlantic.
Nothing here that is new news to regular readers here , especially those who have lived it but always good to reiterate.
In my drafts, I have a long and still unfinished piece devoted to the pros and cons of people taking food stamp challenges. I've touched on key points here before but the subject deserves an indepth examination. Spoiler: There is one pro and eight different points that are cons.
Maybe some day I'll finish that post I started. Right now, I'm juggling a lot and haven't had time to write, so for now, I want to share some thoughts from people who share my frustration with SNAP / food stamp challenges for some of the same reasons.
The discussion was regarding this via think-progress: (but I found it via one of my favorite tumblrs Ask a Welfare Caseworker )
Members of Congress are living off food stamps for a week to protest Republican cuts. It's a challenge for them, but GOP cuts would hurt millions of everyday Americans.
I want a reality tv show where politicians have to live in poverty for a month. They have to live in Government housing, shop with food stamps, and get only a limited amount of money for clothes. Because here, they still have all their trappings, lilke nice cars and thousand dollar suits. I want them in Walmart jeans trying to determine if they can afford a carton of milk.
Give them a full calendar year. I want to see them confident in January, and sometime around June choking back tears at the Safeway because they are tired, so tired, of eating 25 cent cup noodles, eyeing other peoples' full grocery carts with a dull bewilderment.
Let me see them despair because they have a persistent nagging cough that won't go away and might be turning into pneumonia but the minute clinic is $60, which might as well be as six million dollars, either way they ain't got it to spare – and that doesn't count the cost of prescriptions. Let me hear them tell people about the muscle cramps they get at night due to eating non-nutritious garbage for months, the weakness from persistent hunger.
Let them know the shame and frustration of only owning one pair of cheap polyester pants for work and one pair of thrift-store jeans, and both persistently have ripped crotches and seams coming undone, no matter how many times they get sewn back up.
Let the women know the particular sort of despair that comes once a month when you can't afford even the cheapest pads or tampons.
Let them understand the frustration of being charged a $35 fee for a $2 overdraft. Let them watch as the bank holds charges from different days in "pending" till they all come through on the same day, and the bank charges them four times for a single overdraft because "the charges all cleared at the same time".
I want them to know the particular pain of having to decide between food for the week, or transportation costs to and from work. You can't have both. Choose wisely.
You do not truly understand poverty until you've lived it and a month isn't enough to encompass it. Not even close.
I have $7000 in medical bills this year because I let something go untreated for nine years because I couldn't afford it. When I broke my hand I refused to go to the doctor because I couldn't afford it – it wasn't until my manager swore up and down that worker's comp would cover it that I even considered going – and there were pieces of bone sticking out of my hand. I once walked on a broken foot for a year. A year. Because my boss wouldn't let me have the time off to let it heal properly and my job required being on my feet for 8+hours a day. And that fucking foot kept starting to heal and then re-fracturing all over again. Spaghetti makes me sick to my stomach because I ate it every fucking day for months on end because pasta and tomato sauce are CHEAP, but there was no meat and no veggies, so it didn't really do me any good.
Sometimes I buy things I don't need just to prove to myself that I can. And sometimes I go crazy and buy bags of things for the homeless shelter and the food bank because Jesus, do people need it and I have a little extra to spare now. Sometimes I hoard things, like soap and food and old clothes that I don't like and will never wear again, because what if I need it in the future and can't afford it?
Sometimes I remember being so poor that my power was turned off and my bank account was negative and I had nothing in the kitchen but ramen noodles and canned beans and god only knew how I was going to scrape together $475 to pay the rent on my shitty apartment and the lingering stress makes me start to cry.
Rice for a whole winter, except weekends when my boyfriend came down and took me out, and margarine—forget butter—for it only rarely, so I couldn't eat white rice for forty years. Pasta and soup with maybe a burger on payday as my only meat. No dental work, so my teeth are an ongoing trainwreck. Living in one-room studio apartments in residential hotels for a decade because we couldn't afford a real apartment or utilities. And yes to all the bank crap.
I want the Congresscritters to live through a year of THAT before they vote on programs for the poor.
This is why I can't stand people taking the SNAP challenge.
You don't know the reality. You don't come away with true empathy for people living the reality. And you still don't listen to people living the reality.
I have table-flipping-She-Hulk rage over that dude who raised at least $60,000 to make a damn potato salad. There was a 3 day period where I may have needed a trigger warning for talk of potato salad.
Which was sad because I really wanted to eat some potato salad. Since,you know, that's about all I can eat these days and it sounded like a nice change from soup.
Over the weekend, we had salt potatoes for dinner. The next day, I used the leftovers to make what could only be described as Rage Against the Potato Salad Kickstarter Potato Salad. It was good with only a slight aftertaste of bitterness & rage.
It doesn't take a genius or $60,000 to make tater salad. You take potatoes
…cut 'em into chunks. Maybe peel them first. Maybe not. Whatever.
Add some mayo, Dijon mustard,a splash of apple cider vinegar…some herbs (I like dill & lovage). Maybe even chop up some onions, if that's what you're into. I like hard boiled eggs in it,too.
That's it. How much of each? Who knows. I just throw it together until it looks like potato salad. Like I said, doesn't take a genius. Or someone who has money. I made a huge bowl for probably about $3.00 or so.
I need a kickstarter for a new house with better lighting in the kitchen so my food photography doesn't look like crap. This potato salad tasted better than it looked.
So, now that I showed you how to make a decent potato salad for free, do me ONE favor:
If you have money to throw at a cause, please give it to people who need it and not someone who started a fundraiser as a joke. If you don't trust people on the Internet, go buy some potatoes and other good food to donate to your local food pantry. Thanks.
Some good things to pass along today.

Hey, I love Shane Koyczan. The canned tomatoes made me think of this.

Almost all of this list of brain damaging habits are things more likely to affect people in poverty. I am so sorry for my redundancy at times but we really need to shift this focus off of weight issues being the primary health concern among those in poverty and give more attention to brain health being the main concern.
1/ Giving children free breakfast in school dramatically increases their academic performance
2/ Many people who live with (or have lived with) food insecurity tend to overeat when they do have food because they don't know where their next meal is coming from and it may have been a while since they had enough food.
4/ Affordable foods that provide enough calories (especially in food deserts) are high in sugar.
5/ People in poor, non-white neighborhoods are exposed to more hazardous pollution. Low income housing overall tend to be in more polluted areas of cities.
6/ There's a distinct link between poor sleep quality and poverty.
7/People sleep with their head covered when it's cold because they can't afford heat. (thank you, JW from the comments!)
8/ Poor people can't afford to take time off work, even when they're sick.
9/ Poverty depletes brain power
10/ Poverty is socially isolating.
My laptop is back. Thank the techy gods for buyer's protection plans. They replaced the screen and it's as good as new now.
So, back to things like Lunchtime Links!
Tomorrow is the annual Letter Carrier's Food Drive, better known now as Stamp Out Hunger. On Saturday, May 10th, leave a plastic bag with canned and nonperishable food next to your mailbox. Your letter carrier will donate it to a local food bank.
If you don't get mail delivery and still want to contribute, check out this list to find a food bank near you.
Does anyone see flyers for this in your own area? I never see anything here. I only know of this event because of social media and I go to my local post office nearly every day. Maybe I'm not aware since I don't get home delivery?
Speaking of food banks…
via Sustainable Food Trust -
This isn't news around these parts (meaning this part here of the blogosphere). We know that the need for food banks has increased. Eating healthy is really not something that some poor people CAN do.
Meanwhile,I can present studies and personal narratives every damn day ,all day long and I will still hear some people blame poor people for unhealthy eating "choices" ( saying choice implies there is more than one option) , fat-shaming poor people ignoring the "obesity-poverty paradox" and of course, saying poor people aren't trying hard enough to do for themselves.
On the issue of "concern trolls" (people who raise "concerns" or non-helpful solutions about the things people do or act supposedly out of interest for the good of the people or cause at hand but who actually are working AGAINST what or who they claim to be advocating for, often ignoring the personal narratives and voices of people with the most experience )…. when it comes to the health and nutrition issues, weight is not the primary concern they need to be thinking about. From my perspective, brain health is the most important. Low income kids who don't get the right food or enough of it can't excel in school and tend to have more behavior problems. Obviously, the same is true for adults. Who can function well at a job when they're hungry? Being hungry and not getting the right nutrition can literally make you pretty loopy and affect the way your brain works.
Hangry is a real thing.
Ok,enough of that.
How about some recipes? Lentils. Because it's one thing people are like, "These were cheap but now what the hell do I do with them?"
This is a great list of recipes from Whole New Mom.
Missing here is this thing my step-daughter makes (regional cuisine of Panama, where the step-kids grew up). Next time we Skype with her, I will ask her for the recipe.I tried to make it from memory but it wasn't quite the same.
(I really love Skype. My step-daughter is living and going to school in Belgium right now. The other day, she took us on a live tour through her new town and showed us her container garden she has growing. That's just SO cool,right?)
I can pretty much put leftovers in a quesadilla and they're going to be awesome.
We eat a lot of things in tortillas that are quesadilla-ish because 1) tortillas are cheap; 2. versatile; 3. free with WIC (not that we get WIC anymore but it was a perk.
And seriously…get creative. I wasn't kidding about Leftover Quesadillas.

This Land Is Your Land features an underground farm in London and focuses on the concerns about land & food production for the future.
The underground farm is built within the shelter of a former air raid shelter from 1944. Using artificial lighting (obviously) powered by wind turbines, the growers,Steve Dring and Richard Ballard, produce veggies with an aquaponic system using reclaimed water. No soil required.
These guys are growing salad greens and veggies for profit and not as a community endeavor to feed people with food insecurity but their underground farm gives food for thought as to what the future of food production could look like as population rises and land shortages increase.
There's a video of what the underground farm looks like here (I could not figure out for the life of me how to embed it here this morning)
I do think it's important to think about future food production solutions but priority should be placed on fixing the current system first. When nearly half the food grown is wasted, focus needs to be on better efficiency in the system. Corporate interests & politicians not interested in humanity need to be prohibited from making legislation that blocks food from getting to zero income and low income families. The article quotes Eric Holt Gimenez from The Institute of Food and Development Policy as saying, ""Hunger is caused by poverty and inequality, not scarcity." , a totally true statement that makes me wonder why the goal isn't first to balance equality (which will also help control population growth ) . There's weird emphasis in the article on what GMO-seed developers can do on a small amount of land as an incentive to get behind the idea of GMOS (but thanks, NG, for disclosing that Syngenta pays for your advertising) and there's ideas that don't quite fit together …
all that to say that I love the idea of people growing food in abandoned spaces to fill the need for local food and that I do hope the future of farming looks a lot like this.
Everything food related for today…
Hell,yes, DANDELIONS. I may have mentioned this already(?) but I've been studying to become a certified herbalist. Herbalists love dandelions. They're great for cleaning toxins from your system (good for your liver) but also very handy for relieving pains, especially arthritic type. They're an anti-inflammatory, a good astringent for your skin…. and they can actually be tasty.
My grandma used to just put them in a salad. That was about as fancy as she got but here are 16 Ways To Eat (or drink) Dandelions. Can't wait to make the jelly. The dandelion root "coffee" is how you also would make a dandelion root tea but if it feels better to call it coffee, go for it .
Make your own ramen for less than the cost of ramen – All you need a pasta maker and 30 minutes ….plus the 2-5 waiting time while the dough rests.
My Love for Local Food Is a Reasonable Defense for Not Planning Meals Ahead – I can relate to this and as someone who is low income, it's the most practical , especially in the summer time. Garden shares, roadside stands, discounted produce at the grocery store because of abundance, farmer's market deals… these are all things that I jump at the chance to score and whatever I score, that's what's on the menu.

WILKES-BARRE — A preliminary hearing for a man charged by city police with twice raping a woman at knifepoint in September has been scheduled for May 2.
Police alleged Travis Kental Webb, 33, was standing in the woman's dark kitchen on Coal Street waiting for her to come home on Sept. 28. She turned on the lights and was startled by Webb wielding a knife and wearing only underwear, according to the criminal complaint.
The woman said Webb terrorized her for several hours, threatened to cut her into pieces and raped her twice while holding the knife to her throat, the complaint alleges.
Webb was charged with three counts each of robbery, simple assault and indecent assault, two counts each of rape and aggravated indecent assault, and one count each of burglary, aggravated assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, terroristic threats and reckless endangerment. He remains jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail.
The preliminary hearing had been scheduled before District Judge Martin Kane on Thursday but was delayed for two months at the request of attorneys.

Failing to produce within that period of time is an offence.

@ PirateSlayer
Wrong. It is the quality of teaching below university that needs to be looked at. If someone can't produce a properly structured piece of work by the time they leave compulsory education then something has gone wrong. How did they they manage to get through English Language or Literature essays without being able to organise them properly? Or write a proper report after a science experiment?
Universities (and sixth forms) are not there to remedy a lack of basic skills in people who didn't pick them at school. That's what adult education colleges are for.

What does it mean if a guy stares at you and you look at him back, and he keeps staring?
Does it mean that he finds me attractive or is he looking at me just cause I'm looking at him? Cause I have a tendency to kinda stare if I find the guy attractive, but what if I looked up and he is looking at me? Can I assume that he likes what he sees? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but I don't wanna embarrass myself I have no problem striking up a conversation but I have to be absolutely positively sure that he thinks I'm cute before I do it!
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 2
He is interested in you for some reason - most likely finds you attractive and is observing whether you smile back at him and seem comfortable with him doing so and is analyzing whether you stare into his eyes long or not and what follows after words. Also commonly known as flirting with you.
what happens if I don't smile back at him? the guy didn't smile at me and I looked at him without smiling. did I come across as rude? I thought he was cute but I get self conscious in the heat of the moment and just don't smile :/
OMG! I do the same thing! The same thing is happening to me! With my guy, whom I know, we just sit there and stare. Sometimes smiling, sometimes not. It sounds like you don't know the guy that is doing this. I don't know what's worse, knowing or not knowing them! I'm oblivious as to what to do!
Most of the time when I unintentionally stare, I look away when the person looks back at me and pretend I wasn't looking because it's rude to stare and I don't expect to be with that person. If he suddenly smiles when you make eye contact, then that means he likes you. If he has a neutral expression, no one but him knows. Just walk up to him and talk to him even if you don't know if he thinks you're cute. There's really nothing to lose, but you can gain a friend or a boyfriend, so just walk up and talk.
he had a neutral expression. when you look at girls with neutral expressions what are you thinking?
Then he has no idea if you think he's cute or not, but he probably doesn't think you're rude because young male standards for rudeness are usually lower than young female standards for rudeness. For example, girls get grossed out when guys burp or fart, but guys don't get grossed out when girls burp or fart.
ohh so he was probably waiting on me to give him a sign like smile or something? OK thanks this happens to me a lot lmao but now I know what to do (stop being so self conscious and just smile!)

I always get that feeling of nostalgia, when the family start to decorate for the holidays; so exciting when the good ol' Woolies Christmas tree once more arrives at pride of place in the sitting room! On a practical level, it doesn't shed any needles, so it is much tidier. Overall the instructions are good, and the tree is very easy to assemble and decoration is a dream. It is getting more and more difficult (impossible?) to find new bulbs of the correct kind, however, and going to the… Read Full Review

The market price of a stock is supposed to be determined by the arms-length transactions between buyers and sellers. The government alleges that the defendants used several illegal techniques among themselves to create the appearance of an active, buoyant market where none existed. Here's a look at the various ways they did it.
The sale of securities to a buyer on condition the stock will be repurchased by the seller at a price that leaves the risk with the seller.
Matched trade
The sale or purchase of a stock with the knowledge that a corresponding order of the same size by a fellow conspirator at the same time and price will be entered. This generates artificial volume and price support.
Wash trade
An illegal transaction between accounts controlled by the same person, which generates volume but no change in ownership.
Free riding
Buying stock with no intent of paying, unless the price rises before the settlement date. This ensures that the buyer doesn't lose money and forces the brokerage to dump the shares at a loss if the price goes down and the buyer refuses to pay.

Google offers Search, Feed, and Translation APIs to Non Ajax Usage
|UFrame: div meets iframe
Omar AL Zabir has posted about a new library called UFrame:
To use it you simply setup a div:
This reminds me a little of purple includes which let you grab pieces of remote documents.
iframes are notoriously slow, and this is one reason why the Caja project exists. If we can trust code to be in the page itself, it can render a lot faster (think widgets in a page).
Also, sometimes I wish I could just say: <div nobleedingcss> around comments in a blog say, so no CSS or formatting from within can effect the outer page (e.g. bad closing of a tag).

November 27, 2014
7-28-05 - Will Oklahomans pay higher gas prices in exchange for better roads? A group called Oklahomans for Safe Bridges and Roads hopes so. Voters will head to the polls in September to decide just that.
On September 13, Oklahomans will vote on state question 7-23, and if it passes, each gallon of gas sold in the state will eventually be taxed an extra 5 cents in 3 years time
The thinking behind the fuel use tax is that if you drive on the roads, you should have to pay to fix them. The price of unleaded gas would increase five cents by 2008. That five-cent tax would stay indefinitely while diesel would go up eight cents.
The coalition says O-DOT doesn't get enough money from the state to make all the repairs. And the longer they wait the worse the roads and bridges get.
But drivers sick of already paying higher gas prices say they don't think this plan will pass.
If it does pass, it will also create a type of lock box amendment, making sure the tax revenue is only used for roads and bridges.
Legislators against state question 7-23 say they're in the process of putting a plan in place to pay for those repairs. And if this question passes, it will put an unnecessary tax on drivers.

Interview process started very quickly. Went through two rounds of interviews to be hired; one with a shift manager and second interview with store manager.

I applied online. The process took 5 days – interviewed at Red Robin in September 2013.Interview Details
Saw a sign for a new restaurant opening soon and applied online. The process was simple and easy. I received a call a few days later to come in for an interview, was told it was at a location because the facility was not finished. Expected group interviews but it was 1 on 1 with one of the friendliest general managers I ever met. Service manager was there also and she was sweet and down to earth. Asked about any experience as a waitress, how I would feel doing one task and why I wanted to work for the company. Told me a little bit about the company, as I have never been there. They asked me to recommend something off the menu, which happens to be extensive for a company restaurant, to a customer. Then I was offered the job on the spot. Told me the uniform and when orientation was going to be. The whole process took maybe 30 mins. Overall one of the best interview processes I have ever experienced.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsYou negotiate pay and scheduling at orientation and it is a pretty standard rate. As a server you make tips so the base rate is what it is.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview

Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Vegetable Tarts, Big and Small
November 25, 2014,
Health experts for the government say there is no good reason for many Americans to keep sodium consumption below 2,300 milligrams a day, as national dietary guidelines advise.
Scientists are studying the DNA of the Del Sontro family for mutations or aberrations, hoping to see if genetics can explain why heart disease strikes apparently healthy people.
Investigators who found that eating meat can increase heart disease risk because of the actions of intestinal bacteria now say the same thing happens with lecithin, abundant in egg yolks.
High levels of cortisol — the so-called stress hormone — have been associated with cardiovascular disease in some studies, but not in others. This may be because measuring cortisol in blood or saliva at one point in time may pick up acute stress, but it fails to account for long-term...
A new study, published in Heart , suggests that a higher resting heart rate is an independent predictor of mortality — even in healthy people in good physical condition. Danish researchers gave physical exams to 5,249 healthy middle-aged and elderly men beginning in 1971. In 1985...
A survey shows Alzheimer's, high blood pressure and heart disease are the most common conditions among patients in assisted living facilities, with many having two or more.

LONDON (AP) -- Police investigating the vicious killing of an off-duty British soldier on a London street in an apparent Islamic extremist attack say they have arrested a 10th suspect.
London police say the 50-year-old man was arrested east of London on Monday on suspicion of conspiring to murder 25-year-old soldier Lee Rigby. Police didn't provide further details about the suspect's identity.
Rigby was walking near his barracks in southeast London's Woolwich area last week when he was run over by a vehicle and repeatedly stabbed with knives and meat cleavers.
Police have already arrested nine others, including two main suspects shot by officers at the scene of the killing who are hospitalized under armed guard.

Mar 6, 2012Wanted to issue a warning to folks on this one. Overall, I am enjoying the game and I am new to the series so I am forging up the learning curve. I am very disappointed in the graphics, very. I expected more. I am interested to hear how the community responds to this title. It's feature rich and you can set the controls in many variations to suit you play preference and skill. Not a deal killer but would advise to wait for a price drop to purchase.… Full Review »

End of Tenancy Cleaning
You're moving on up, moving on out… Sorry, just had to sing a bit there. But moving house isn't all fun and games or even song and dance. And I'm not just talking about the hassles of packing, shifting and re-settling. I'm talking about the end of tenancy cleaning London. Because it's not like your normal cleaning job.
You see, when you do your own home cleaning on an everyday basis, there's a lot of things that you can get away with not doing. Even a professional cleaner is unlikely to do them unless specifically told to. This is simply because on a day-to-day basis, it's too much hassle. The dirt is hidden somewhere it's not worth the effort of getting into. But when you move house, it's a different story. You have to do all those obscure little cleaning jobs. As my mother always said, always leave it better than you found it, and it's important to clean the house properly for the next tenant – and so you don't have to pay extra.
So what do you have to remember?
* Carpets. Yes, I know you vacuum the carpets regularly and they're pretty clean. You've also been pretty sharp at cleaning up stains on the carpet. However, it pays to get the carpets professionally steam cleaned (you can hire a steam-cleaning machine to do this yourself) before you leave. In some cases, it can be a condition of your rent that you get the carpets properly cleaned before you move – that's the case with this writer, anyway. It's best to do this job last of all after all the furniture is out of the way so you can get into those obscure corners that have collected dust after being behind a bookshelf for the last three years.
* Tops of things. When was the last time that you dusted along that bit of woodwork at the top of the windowsill? Or the top of the door frame? Time to get out the warm soapy water and a duster and get busy. You may also need to dust around the top of lampshades and light fittings, but for goodness' sake turn the power off first so you don't electrocute yourself.
* Cupboards. It's surprising how many people don't check in high cupboards before they move house, and leave things for the next occupant. When this writer moved in, we ended up with an extra bonus of a couple of small children's toys (meaning small toys intended for children) and some wrapping paper. All because someone didn't clean out the top cupboard. Even if you don't have things in your top cupboards, check and clean anyway. You never know what's up there, and there will be dust, and possibly dead beetles.
* Walls. Clean off greasy fingerprints and odd scuff marks. Most modern wallpapers are washable, and most marks are easily treated with a bit of warm soapy water applied gently and sparingly with a sponge. If you have to remove children's scribbles off the paper, then use a normal eraser for pencil (obviously), and a tiny dab of meths or vodka for permanent marker or ballpoint pen (only use as much as you need).
Cleaning crayon off walls is a bit harder. Some swear by car lubricant ( of the WD40 type )followed by dishwashing detergent (patch test first – it can leave a worse stain), but good old baking soda or even toothpaste can do the trick just as well without any messy, smelly chemicals.

DALTON, Ga. -- Volunteer coordinators in Dalton say they will need about 1,500 volunteers to step up this weekend for two events.
Dalton mayor David Pennington issued a proclamation during the City Council meeting Monday evening, making Saturday "Make a Difference Day" in Dalton.
United Way of Northwest Georgia is organizing the Make a Difference Day with seven projects planned in Whitfield and Murray counties for Friday and Saturday.
The Special Olympics fall games also will be held in Dalton this weekend, with about 1,500 participants expected.
United Way Volunteer Coordinator Tom Pinson said each event will need about 700 volunteers.
Mohawk Industries is sponsoring the day of service with $10,000 in grants to the various local organizations, the 11th year Mohawk has helped underwrite the event.
Volunteers will help with landscaping at the Creative Arts Guild, paint the gym at Valley Point Middle School, clean up debris during the Conasauga Watershed Cleanup, help build a Frisbee Golf Course at the Boys & Girls Club, work on trials at Raisin Woods Mountain Bike Park, paint and clean at the Northwest Georgia Family Crisis Center and do projects at Fort Mountain State Park.
In other business Monday evening, the City Council approved an increase in the city budget of $265,860. The majority of the money was spent for equipment repairs, legal fees, gas shortages for the police department and election costs.
