@arstechnica After reading this article I wonder why it is increasing? Is it possible the bad economy and high inflation in last years are forcing people to find additional sources for food? Or is it the reduction in food stamps?

I cannot imagine people just discovered to pick up mushrooms in the forest and eat it. Usually such people are very "outdoory" and learn about the dangers and what is safe to eat. Not so much valid for hungry people without experience....

These #politicians and their #poverty #porn posts of eating on "$6/person/day", when they have *clearly* never actually had to live on a tight #budget, let alone a #SNAP #FoodStamps budget.

Last night, I bought 12 chicken drumsticks for $0.99/lb, or $4.27 for 4.31 lbs (1.955 Kg) of drumsticks. That's enough meat for six adult portions, and the skin and bones make their own sauce while you cook them.

No one is walking away from my table #hungry or disappointed and dissatisfied.

#Trump admin renews #SCOTUS appeal to keep full #SNAP payments frozen

The request is the latest in a flurry of legal activity over how a program that helps buy groceries for 42 million Americans should proceed during the historic US govt #shutdown. Lower courts have ruled that the govt must keep FULL payments flowing, & SCOTUS asked the admin to respond after an appeals court ruled against it again late Sunday.

❝ Food should never be weaponized.❞

because it’s #eugenics.

everybody needs to call EUGENICS #MAGA #GOP #Republicans taking hostage #foodStamps #welfare #SNAP for the privilege of killing #Obamacare #Medicaid and their #Medicare extensions.

the #shutdown isn’t just about the #EpsteinFiles. it is about enacting the core mission of #Project2025 : normalize killing millions of Americans by destroying the federal government.

and if killing millions sounds familiar, yes: eugenics is #genocide.

But the succession of notices the #Treasury & #IRS have issued beginning in summer means the #tax could bring in a fraction of that.

The breaks come in addition to the ~$4 trillion package of tax cuts that #Trump signed into #law in July. The #legislation, passed entirely by #Republicans, heavily benefits #corporations & the #ultrawealthy. It is projected to add trillions of dollars to the federal #deficit & came with steep cuts to #healthcare for the #elderly & #FoodStamps for the poorest.

🚨🚨

but wait there’s more!

#SCOTUS Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson has temporarily paused a lower court order that had required the #Trump admin to fully fund #FoodStamps during the govt #shutdown. In the order, Justice Jackson said she had issued the pause, called an administrative stay, to give the appeals court that will rule on the case more time to consider it. She wrote that she expected the appeals court to move swiftly & to issue a decision “with dispatch.”

US District Judge John J. McConnell Jr. had given #Trump’s admin until Friday to make the #SNAP payments. But Trump’s admin instead asked the appeals #court to suspend any #CourtOrders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund.
