I had to take a close look to see Biden’s blank stare overlaid on Washington’s portrait. E Pluribus Fool Em is a sad commentary on the people of America and a death sentence for Ukrainians.

Has anyone printed these on soft paper rolled up onto a nice brown cardboard tube so it will fit on the holder ??
Askin’ for a plethora of friends….
LOL would be more useful than the bank issued ones.
Was talking to my Nurse at the annual checkup. Was tickled that she has been listening to this old man and secured her family a pretty deep larder.
Folks are starting to see the real world(tm) effects of Bidenomics as SHE told me about the receipts of the groceries going UP over the past month.
Protect your family, a few Mercy Buckets of dry beans and rice (WM BOTH UP almost 50% from last January) and some canned soups (also UP from January from 1.99 to 2.23 at WM) seems prudent.
Worst case scenario you HAVE to EAT them, bummer…
Why are people making this so difficult? A suggestion is to research no-bake recipes and simple stovetop meals, such as no-bake brownies, cookies, cakes, chia pudding, overnight gluten-free oats, chickpea flour omelettes and scrambles with plenty of vegetables, gluten-free bread to toast for stuffing (loaded). In the case of canned soups, heat a little avocado oil first, add some spices (chili pepper powder, ground turmeric, pepper, Italian seasoning, and even a little yogurt, add soup). This could be topped off with steamed broccoli. Getting away from canned goods might be ideal, and perhaps no refrigerator, The point is to have dried herbs/sprigs, maybe some dried chipped beef, and dehydrated vegetables, for any soup base or meal. These things are affordable and shelf-stable. Besides, cans are heavy and take up a lot of space. If the can opener is not high quality there can be metal shards (and moreso as cans get older and brittle?), and even if the can opener is optimal.
Your viewpoint is interesting Z-la. I’m an omnivore that did missionary work in both South America and Africa. I help out at our local food bank and KNOW what the folks prefer and what donations I cannot get people to take.
What real world(tm) experience in eating on the rough can you tell us about?
I go with what working people ate from what they themselves could get and grow.
Since most of what you’ve listed above require frequent trips to “Trader Joes” as avocado oil isn’t a home-produced item in America, nor is most of the vegan foodstuffs listed grown in most American truck gardens and family plots I’ll not suggest them here.
Odd how I’ve SOMEHOW Survived over 5 decades of eating from canned foods without “Getting metal shards in me”.
They know what they prefer probably only based on what they are used to..processed foods. How many food banks do you know that give out non-GMO and organic foods and beverages and spices, and give people a choice as to what they want? The avocado oil was mentioned because of its high smoke point. I’ve heard on a food channel that extra-virgin olive oil should not be cooked with but used as it is. It’s regular olive oil that should be used for cooking (high temperatures). The chickpea flour replaces eggs, hence that problem and expense is resolved. Do you think people will continually be able to afford eggs? Additionally dried chickpeas can be soaked and blended for vegan patties, hummus, and tortillas. Generally, all of the things mentioned are available at local grocery stores or markets.
Z-la as a gentleman farmer (an often expensive hobby) I have chickens that happily process bugs (that Karl wants us to eat directly) into eggs and meat.
All organic feed, they chase those bugs for themselves. Chicken TV, once you start watching Martha Steward isn’t so interesting.
I’ve grown chickpeas, the aquafaba from canned chickpeas makes an excellent sub for egg whites in cooking. Don’t grow well here but like Sweet Potatoes I do try interesting things in New England.
Cooking oil is a REAL PROBLEM. You should research the high tech industrial process to make most of it. Animal fats from my chickens, pigs and milk cow are my solution.
Learn to cook without burning oil. Grandma did it long before Canoila and Avocado oil came around. The Asians managed to stir fry for eons before our country was even a thought.

I notice you never mentioned any real world(tm) eating rough skills or experience.
Not all that come to our food bank HAVE their own stove, some share a bedroom in a friend’s house and thus have limited time and ability for fancy cooking.
The COST of such boutique “Trader Joes” level ingredients isn’t encouraging to someone that is working 3 part time JOBS to keep themselves from living in a car on the side of the road.
I have trouble enough just teaching them how buying a whole chicken and roasting it can get far more meals per dollar (and time spent) than Mc Donalds. Thus some I teach how to do basic cooking and shopping.
“The COST of such boutique “Trader Joes” level ingredients isn’t encouraging to someone that is working 3 part time JOBS to keep themselves from living in a car on the side of the road.”
It should be illegal for the economy to dispossess individuals in such a capacity. That much labor and physical exertion should result in something better than merely not being homeless. Food pantries are fine but they need to evolve from effectively furthering chronic poverty (a rut), towards a means of integrating individuals with a viable social and economic livelihood. Otherwise, it’s mostly an extension of institutional stagnation and a nod to the flawed economy.
Blah, blah, blah.
Please get real, Z-la.
You still have not mentioned any real world experience in all your chatter.
