China "Dog Meat" Festival Begins

The Trump Administration has proposed taking away Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly food stamps) benefits from children, seniors, and hardworking low-income Americans. This means many children from low-income families would no longer qualify for healthy school meals. The government’s latest analysis estimates nearly one million children could lose their existing access to free and reduced-price school meals. This is in addition to the three million people who would already lose access to SNAP food assistance.

We have until tomorrow, Friday November 1, to act.

Please submit your personal comment to make sure the Trump Administration hears your voice. They must read and record every unique comment they receive. Please tell them why you oppose this rule!

Do what I did ... I came in early and worked in the lunchroom to pay for my school meals.
I did that until I worked as a newspaper delivery person (yep, there was one gurl) at 12 years of age.
Didn't scar me but made me very determined as I got older.

I was in the 3rd grade so I started when I was 9.
I got to be good friends with the kitchen staff and the head lady in the kitchen was the wife of a facility mechanic at the Factory for the Blind where my parents worked.

It made me appreciate and develop a good work esteem ... perhaps you would be living on your own if you had worked as a 9 year old.
We'll never know.
So much potential unrealized.

How capitalism prioritizes profit over public health: (1) beef producers abuse antibiotics to lower costs of decent conditions for cattle, (2) humans ingest too many antibiotics in beef, (3) we suffer as illnesses respond less to overused antibiotics.

back in the 1960s the europeans banned the import of US raised chicken as the americans clean their chickens with chlorine which means when you eat chicken you are eating chlorine

Rinse it off, it's fine.

Chlorine is great.
