As a devout Democrat, I humbly request the pillar of moral high ground, MSNOW to fulfill a simple request.
Not many of us are able to prepare our own meals. For me personally, I find it offensive. Could you perhaps give us a demonstrational video on how to prepare a can of soup over the stovetop?
yes all thanks to donald trump and his maga cult
"Let them eat cake" -Nancy Pelosi
Get a $10 chicken dinner from walmart and make it into three meals… I can't stand eating chicken or eggs for another meal…
Remember how the democrats put Platner on a golden pedestal because they had no one else?
They now have a replacement and HIS name is, Meat Loaf. If you have not seen Meat Loaf you would think I’m making this up…….it is impossible to make this up.😂😂😂😂😂
"See…poor people don't need SNAP benefits after all." The Republican Party
What a nice heart warming story. We all need this now. Thank you.
I feel true empathy for anyone who can't afford to eat healthy in the country. its truly expensive and requires you to give up something else in order to eat on that level. unless of course you hunt deer and grow a vegetable garden in which case you are doing it about as cheap as you can and incredibly healthy on top of it
“Affordability” is democrat code for someone else should pay for my food, shelter and healthcare
Don’t forget to thank your nearest magat.
Has anyone else noticed the over weight starving people in our Country?
Affordability 😢 in trump's America 🇺🇸 .
My Grocery Prices Have Not Changed Since Democrats Increased Them By 30% Between 2021-2024
It's admirable that the chef did this, but it is INEXCUSABLE that mothers, hard working American people, or ANYONE HERE NEEDS THIS IN THE "HOTTEST COUNTRY ON EARTH"….It is utter bullsh*t.
Chef Mo looks terrifying. No bueno.
The Highest Cost of Living States are all Democrat Run . Trump has Zero to do with it
Is America Great Again yet?
😊. And, re the unkind comments I've seen here – I'd like to verbalize "thank you" to the Chef and to Mr Soboroff!!

Eat affordable food , and you can quit crying about affordability. You may not need food stamps anymore.
Hey editor… Too much blah blah before you got to the heart of the story.
