curious- by feeding ourselves, does that mean you are against SNAP for the poor or did you mean we should grow more, have gardens, etc. And I am pro National Endowment for the Arts, that money is needed to sustain or improve cultural offerings. I don't know if many Americans care much about the arts after seeing that statistic that 80% of adults NEVER read a single book after college. Totally judging, but if you never, even by accident, read another book, I doubt your supporting the opera by buying season tickets. You can flame me, that was mean and I didn't really mean it. Frankly, that statistic scares me more than anything political, I don't know if I can exist in a world where 80% of the people never read. How do you find the other 20% to talk about books? I have to snopes that statistic, that cannot be true
I think that more than health insurance or dental insurance our national healthcare system ignores some blatantly obvious things. It ignores the fast food cesspools on every corner, the "convenience" stores full of sugary and caffeinated sh*t, and the groceries with 8 zillion kinds of sugary cereals marketed directly to little kids. We'd barely need health insurance (accept for accidents and major diseases not related to lifestyle) if there was no fast food or candy.

I think that things like snap should only be for fresh fruits and veggies. But I have a lot of radical views. haha
