["Yea, because losing out on protein from venison harvested by my step-sons when I'm on food stamps and beans for protein is not allowed is so fucking selfish. Unbelievable that you are so selfish to not consider that many hunt to supplement expensive meat on food stamps. "]
Thankfully you are not starving due to food stamps and you should be able to go without venison for a higher purpose like a child's life or not.
You are the selfish one.

No, this is about a proposed moratorium on the purchase of guns and ammunition, not vegans. I don't think most regulators are too worried about hunting rifles being used as "concealed carry", so I think maybe there's some hysteria and overstatement on both sides.
Hunting was about feeding families, they charging you? I don't like venison and have to turn it down almost every year because they're giving it away. Like Zucchinis that's how good venison is. Wish I had the neighbor who caught too many trout that I had years ago.
We're not giving you welfare money for hunting expeditions. Bad enough there's Tuesday afternoon Confederate flag parades, idiots blowing themselves up in vintage tanks or rightwing events like Tea Party or Oath Keeper town halls all with crowds mostly supported by the system.
OK, what is being complained about here. I'm not sure which sort of irritation I should be experiencing: self-righteous vegan, self-righteous-anti gun, self-righteous anti-hunting, self-righteous anti-poor people...
Am sitting on "annoyed by self-righteous prick" right now.
If everyone had a living wage, very few food stamps would be needed. The food stamp program is subsidizing people like the Waltons, who surely ought to be able to afford to pay their workers a decent wage.
It sounds like venison is OK on food stamps but beans are not (as a Swede, I don't know what your social security programs do). That's silly, isn't it? As long as you follow the DRI, and don't spend it all on refined sugar, empty calories and saturated or trans fat, you ought to be able to use your food stamps on either meat or beans as you prefer.
From what I hear, people on food stamps can only afford dirt-cheap food, which is usually, in essence, bad for you; too much of the things that shouldn't be in food, and not enough of what ought to be in there.

As someone that has been on food stamps, a few things. As long as it's considered... well, food per the FDA, and not pre-prepared (i.e. no resturaunts), you can buy with food stamps. The amount allocated depends on a number of factors (income, if any, number of dependents, etc), but when unemployed and broke, was pulling just shy of $200 per month as a single male. Admittedly, there was the eventual choice of "either find work, or do community service for X hours a week to retain your food stamps" since I lacked any sort of disability (I was between jobs, and the market for such rather blew in my area. Had nothing else to live on, so did what I could), which is a state requirement rather than federal (I think).
Of course, with each state setting its own rules... I only know the rules for Texas (recent) and Missouri (circa... 15 years ago or so). I know we (myself for Texas, Mom for Missouri) were never given any sort of dietary coaching or restrictions in either state, just a block of funds for food acquisition.
Questions: Did your J-boy charge for feeding those 5,000...?
Did he present those he healed with a bill for his services...?
NEXT!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
