1. Grrr. Almost everything is portrayed as someone else’s responsibility.

   Bring a fucking sandwich _to_ work, like regular people.

   I brought my lunch / dinner to work for most of my career. I typically didn’t have time to go out and, early on, it cost less to bring my lunch.

   Unbelievable.

2. As a “person of size” myself, I can state that being able to skip a few meals, does not equate to not feeling hungry. (That’s first-world, not I’m-starving, hunger.)

   But yes, the optics aren’t great and it does not help make their case.

3. They had to make up the phrase “food insecurity” because saying people were starving was simply too unbelievable. Back when the media had some little sense of shame. I lived on beanie weenies, peanut butter sandwiches, and the all-you-can-eat buffet at the local strip club when I was in college. These people need to tough it out.

   And, he’s a 4th-year grad student. School meal halls are generally timed for the vast majority of undergraduates’ schedules, which are usually very predictable, consistent, and set for the students.

   Managing your time like an adult – yes, that includes setting alarms for things like lunch if you tend to deeply focus, or bringing a sandwich – is part of being a grad student, especially in later years.

   This isn’t food insecurity, it’s poor time management.

   1. Yup. By the time I went off to college – not, mind you, grad school – I’d leaned a few of the little tricks to life, like how to make a peanut butter sandwich and put it in a brown paper bag. (I’d also learned to cook proper dinners for myself, do my own laundry, and so on. And, and the time, knowing how to do such domestic stuff didn’t lead to being diagnosed as “transgender”.)

      1. Ah, but the big question, my friend … Did you already know to check the lint filters in the dorm’s laundry room dryers?

         1. I knew that cleaning the lint traps was important; ’twas but a matter of finding them on the institutional dryers.

5. Ok, sure… what about all those democrat voted democrat run FREE food programs these azzholes are always braggin about?? Where are they??

6. Just wait until “food insecurity” is nationwide food shortages causing a massive portion of the population of the United States to starve. Just think, the average American will be losing 20-30 pounds due to literally not having anything to eat. Instead of the Maduro diet it will be the Biden diet.

   And unless you have stockpiled ten years worth of food you are going to eventually starve too. Probably to death. Or the government will break down your door, confiscate your food and murder you and your entire family if you resist. Just like the democrats want.

7. The reason the people who need food stamps are fat is because of poor food choices, bad nutrition. They are eating plenty, but it is all bad for them. Or something. Seriously, some leftist tried to explain it to me along those lines. They were not very happy when I said we need to restrict what the food stamps can purchase (no pre-packaged crap, sugar and fat restricted food, etc..) Boy, was that the wrong idea…
   .
   I am not sure how the average leftists can pull off these mental gymnastics daily. Poor people lack the skills to get jobs, and the government must take care of them. Poor people are so smart, the government can leave it up to them to eat right, and exercise.

8. I remember your post a few years back about a very very overweight lady that “fled Honduras from starvation”. 😀

   Same energy.
