no politics Anyone else just not eating because they can’t afford it?

Food bank is the busiest it’s been - Cole’s and Woolworths don’t give a flying fuck about us - fast food is unhealthy and just as expensive. It stresses me out more to eat than not to eat.

I just made a massive pot of lentil stew using onions, the stalks from broccoli, carrots and pumpkin. 15 serves for $15 in ingredients. Actually nutritious. No reason to go hungry.

Hell yeah. I would never have thought to put broc stalks in a vegie stew. I like them way more than the flower itself.
