This plan is not feasable due to goverment regulations. It is illegal to grow food and sell it directly to the community without jumping through goverment regulations and paying taxes. That drives the price of the food up, so now it has to be sold to high end restaurants willing to pay a premium for locally grown produce.

The only reason food stamps are so prevelant is because the goverment is standing in front of the food in the first place.


One can grow food to feed himself and family. One could also barter--if regulations prohibit him from selling with cash.

People complaining about food stamps are the first to get on them when the shyt hits the fan. :snoop: @ this country. Billions to Israel and our military. But we have to cut a program designed to serve those living in poverty and suffering from malnutrition bordering on starvation. And let's not ignore the racial component. If there weren't a stigma assigned to food stamps that pushes the myth that mostly blacks live on them, these cuts wouldn't be occurring.

People don't own the land in urban centers to grow for their self. And bartering can only get you so far, cash needs to come from somewhere.


This is one thing that I dislike about my race--we're always coming up with creative reasons about why something can't be done or isn't worth it.
Instead of coming up with solutions.

It has nothing to do with coming up with excuses. What you are proposing is not feasable which is why it is not being done. There are plenty of urban farms and that food always goes to the highest bidder, it's the way economics work in this country. Same goes for family owned grocery stores. They can't sell their food for cheap enough to the community because they have so much overhead in order to be in business.

Promoting misguided "solutions" just cause they sound good wont help anyone.

This reoccurring idea that if you don't want govt. doing it, you don't want it done at all has to go away.
:wow:

I didn't think u would have shyt to say in this thread but... this is a good point.

These mF in here are keyboard warriors..... not really about the poor, not really about their own people, regardless of race, there are poverty bum MF's right in our cities and we want our gov to do something.

If we want the gov to do something then start a socialist revolution. If not, ,then shut up.

:whoa: Not that I think we should cut stamps... If we have 1 penny of gov waste, ear marks, or over spending on the military or prisons... then we should be funding food programs 3x more than we are now. a bish w 3 kids should get over 1K. Period. 1 kid at least 550.

anyway, i don't think stamps are cut tho... my hook up just got 700 on her card, my other bish just got like 6.. so idk what the fuss is about.

I live in urban/suburban area. Guess what--I used to grow food in my backyard.

It is possible. Get the government/law out of our business, and get going. We used to trade food with our neighbors.
The possibilities are endless.

What's misguided is thinking that the government can solve our problems--instead of us organizing as a community and solving our own problems

America is the only country on earth where you will find poor fat people.

Think about it for a second.
You have no concepts and idea of what "malnutrition" is....
