jerryskids 5,463 Posted July 24, 2016 If only there were a way for a young adult to provide a service to a company, and in return that company would provide them money which they could use for things like food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fandandy 3,312 Posted July 24, 2016 "The money will also be used to increase student registration with CalFresh, (aka SNAP) a government program that gives monthly electronic benefits to students to buy healthy food at markets and grocery stores." I'm not sure how that works in Cali but in Michigan they don't always buy healthy food with their food stamps. Chips and pop and a candy bar. They should call them snack stamps.

Strike 4,135 Posted July 24, 2016 "Resources" From the article, But money isn’t the only problem. Nearly 50% of UC students also owe their food insecurity to time. Between classes and exams, who has the time to prepare meals? Yeah, maybe there needs to be a freshman time management class in their curriculum. Fock, I bet if I showed up on Campus tomorrow randomly 42% of them would be playing Pokemon Go. Focking idiots. And this is who we are leaving this country to? We're worried about Trump/Clinton? it's the next generation that we should REALLY be worried about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Blue 06 195 Posted July 24, 2016 What the fock? In college, I lived on Ramen noodles (6 for $1) and microwaveable Mac and cheese (2 for $3). If they can't afford that stuff, then Fock them, they're too stupid to survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 13,040 Posted July 24, 2016 More likely, the starving collegians are really FOS. The caricature you've created of liberals is pretty ridiculous too. No it's not, because the liberals have overrun the Democratic Party, so there is no difference anymore between liberals and dems, and they are the ones saying on one hand it's all good, but on the other that kids are going hungry. Which one is it? Kids going hungry is a basic thing that should t be a problem when things are good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,475 Posted July 24, 2016 That makes no sense. You can take out loans to include room and board. That's if mommy and daddy can't pay. There's no way college kids should be without food unless they did something stupid like spend all their money on clothes or cars or what the fock ever. Now loans suck so maybe they aren't taking out the full amount. Good on 'em but then you aren't really without resources if you need more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet you won't find a "liberal" or "democratic" poster on this board that thinks starving UC students is a legitimate problem. But many of them will agree that Trumps rhetoric was excessively bleak. Yet that doesn't mean everything is "all good" either. Confused? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JTB 52 Posted July 24, 2016 Very common issue with the bored righties.I didn't start the thread because I gave a what you thought. I am showing how out of touch a former Democratic Governer of Arizona is.

And maybe not here, but she is a prominent liberal, and it's the liberals that push this food insecure myth. So. Yeah, I'll say it's liberals saying this when its liberals saying this. and I make no distinction b/w liberals and democrats anymore. like I said earlier. Confused?

SUXBNME 1,369 Posted July 24, 2016 What in the actual f***. They have student dining. Jesus Christ all you have to do is walk through and grab a plate of food. So if pre-prepared food is that tempting, why not opt for the dining hall instead? Well, Visuthikraisee says her dining hall options at UC Berkeley “weren’t the greatest” when it came to vegetables and fruits. “There’s pizza pretty much every day,” says Visuthikraisee. “We have a lot of potatoes, and then there’s one selection of meat usually.” But there’s also a salad bar, Visuthikraisee adds.

RLLD 3,588 Posted July 25, 2016 We who have also lived through this look back at it and laugh now, it was a time of no money and lots of baked potatoes and instant soup....as well as maybe grabbing and extra apple or banana when leaving the dining hall. Yes were were hungry, but we didnt make much money and school it overpriced....if they want to help the kids, stop charging them so much money for the education.
