Hypothetical? I take it you've never gotten food from a food bank.

Sounds a lot like projection... How many times have you gotten food from a food bank? Very curious to know ๐Ÿ™‚

Let me go check my 'how many times in my life have I eaten food from a food bank' tally to make sure I have an accurate count and get back to you.

Ahh so you will avoid the question. Good one buddy

[โ€“] FlyingSquid 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You asked me how many times and you don't want an accurate number?

[โ€“] FatCat -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Well you could say a few or a couple dozen. But seeing you keep on doging the question I will assume you are just typing these comments for your own entertainment never having experienced food insecurity.

[โ€“] FlyingSquid 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I could, but you asked me how many times. Either you want to know how many times or you don't. If you don't, you shouldn't have asked.

It's pretty messed up that you discuss and argue about poverty from your position of wealth and comfort, without actually experiencing any of those hardships firsthand. Check your privilege before you act like an authority on issues you've never actually faced.

My position of wealth and comfort?

I think you have me confused with someone else.

I just checked my bank balance. It's $281.30. I suppose you could include my savings account though. That has $200. It's for emergencies.

Have you? Every food bank I've been to has given fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.
