Summary

House Republicans are considering a 20% cut to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, impacting over 22 million households, as part of a $5 trillion deficit reduction plan.

The proposed changes to SNAP would save $247 billion over a decade by rolling back a Biden-era increase tied to the USDA’s “thrifty food plan.”

Critics argue the cuts could harm vulnerable populations and reduce demand for food production, while Republicans view the changes as a way to curb spending and encourage employment.

    If you want bulk spices hit up an international store. Might be slightly leaded, but they’re dirt cheap and sold by the pound

      Uhhhh minus the lead you almost had me interested to try it out.

      Regular grocery store prices for spices can be stupid at times.

        I don’t know it’s leaded I just don’t know it isn’t. It’s dirt cheap somehow
