Donald Trump’s agriculture secretary has been mercilessly mocked after boasting that the government devised a new way for Americans to eat for just $3 per meal amid a nationwide affordability crisis.

Brooke Rollins claimed in a TV interview that her team had “run over 1,000 simulations” to find the most optimal nutritious dinner on a shoestring.

      Of course they wouldn’t, it doesn’t fit the narrative of what people should be eating they’re trying to push. That whole “Ending the War on Protein” bullshit.

      Seriously, black beans, brown rice, onions, oil, and salt. Garlic and/or a pig ear/trotter when you want to splash.

      You need a source of water, a stove and a stable place, but you’ll at least feel fed.

      I am not a Sikh but I admire the shit out of their mass food preparation culture. They know how to keep their neighbors fed.
