ramen noodles everyday is bad for ya because of very high in sodium.
fiber is good for ya such as beans, lentils, vegetables, fruits, whole grains bread and brown rice. lentils/beans are cheaper, u can make lentils and vegetables-carrots, broccolis, bell pepper (cutting), tomatoes then mix italian sauce (put alot of different spices when it's cooking) then it turn into a soup then with pasta. it's easy to cook and simple. my BF made the deliciously italian soup. |

Oh, you can put lentils in your ramen if u want. lentils had to be soaking first (getting soft). Off Topic: It's not a food thread here |

I was sent to a foster home in the middle of no where with a weird family and that's when I lost my shit and screamed, "I want to move into my own apartment and live on my own and I don't care if I have no GED and no money I would rather be homeless than live in this weird ass foster home where the dad can make his teenage son sob". That startled my caseworker and she quickly arranged for me to live in a studio apartment cause she knew I was ready to run. I was 18 and free to run. So six weeks after I said that, I left foster care at 18 years old, I got my own apartment with no money. The foster care agency paid my rent until my SSI kicked in. I was always hungry, there were days I didn't eat, I was not able to get food stamps until my appointment at the food stamp place three months after I moved in. I was grateful for the $165 per month food stamps they started me with. I waited six months for my SSI to kick in. I was so poor I couldn't afford to do laundry, I had to wash my clothes in the bathtub. I applied everywhere for a job but it was hard to get a job with no high school diploma nor a GED. I went to a community college for 2 make-up classes for drop-out students and got a high school diploma of sorts but I believe it was stolen with the rest of the shit they stole from me on the greyhound bus to Minnesota when I went to MN to visit SCSU the college I wanted to attend and I attended. (I dropped out of highschool cause I was moved to a new foster home without notice and I was angry and refused to go to the new school). I had to walk everywhere for everything because I had no money for the public bus transit, and at the time it was $1.35 for the fare. I often had to go to my friend's grandmother to have dinner. Or to my friend's mother, too. Another friend's mother helped me out with food as well. The apartment I had, was a studio apartment with just a room and two beds in it, a tiny kitchenette with sink, fridge, and stove, and a bathroom and a closet. That's all I had. I had to share the room with other roommates. The apartment building is run by a catholic charity convent, a halfway house of sorts, the Sisters managed the building. I couldn't afford to make calls either until my SSI kicked in. I've had to beg for money, I've had to sell my dreamcatchers for money. Sometimes I don't eat at all and my stomach ached. If I managed to get enough change I would go to Pick N Save and buy fruit and vegetables because they were cheaper than anything else. I would buy onions (fresh) and mushroom (canned) and green peppers (fresh) and some veggie oil, and a fresh banana or two, and that would be my dinner. I would cook the onions and the mushrooms and the green peppers together and saute them, and eat them.The bananas would be my breakfast. And I had no proper coat for the winter (I lived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the time), my friend had to buy me a parka coat for Christmas. Christmas sucked because I had no family as they were abusive, I spent Christmas with friends just hanging out and shooting shit and stuff. Finally the SSI kicked in and it made my life so much easier. I could eat a lot of food on food stamps, and the SSI would buy me things needed and paid the bills. I moved out of that studio apartment and found a house to rent for $360 a month, electricity, heat, and gas included. It was in the worst ghetto in the city, and there were a lot of mentally ill people hanging out near my house as well. I ended up making friends with them and there were a couple people I had already known from being in the children's home a couple years prior. Shortly after that, I had a roommate and then shit happened and I moved out of the house and a friend helped me move and I moved in with her and her parents in a different town an hour north for six months and then got an apartment in the next town over. I decided that I had to get out of this state. I moved to Minnesota and that did NOT work out. There was so much drama there that I nearly went insane with that bullshit they pulled on me. I moved to another place out in the country, in the sticks. I decided that I needed to sit on my ass and do nothing but let the money from SSI pile up so that I would have enough to move far far far far far away from all that bullshit. I sat on my ass for 9 months and then decided I had enough for the round trip to and from San Antonio, Texas. So I flew down here, snagged an apartment quickly, spent the rest of the week in Texas as an vacation I needed, and then flew back home and sat on my ass again for two more months til my friend came to get me and I hired him to drive me down to Texas from Minnesota. That trip took me three days. I did not sleep for three days. I came with only my cats, my computer, clothes, TV, and a few other items and that's it. When I came to San Antonio and got my key for the apartment I had to borrow a cot and sleep on it. I slept on it for two weeks before getting a proper mattress. It was a tough start, but I am glad I did all this. I am still dirt poor, but I am working towards getting my back fixed so I can get back in the work force again. My hip has been fixed last March. So it's now my back needs fixing and then I can go to school and become a nurse. I am still on SSI and I receive $188 in food stamps (they increase the food stamps by a few dollars each year to keep up with the cost of living). Once my back is taken care of and my pain goes away or becomes much more manageable I plan to become a nurse, that's my goal. My hip feels so much better now that it has been fixed. I can walk more now, move around more than I used to, but I still cannot stand for more than five minutes because of my back. At least I don't need a wheelchair so much anymore for the most part, I'm still a part-time wheelchair user, though. I'm glad I got here, even though I am dirt poor. What makes it worth it is that I got away from my insane parents and their abusive ways. I feel safe here. That's the most important things. I am grateful for the SSI and for the food stamps. I would still be on the street if not for the SSI and the food stamps. I now have a one bedroom apartment with a living room and bathroom and a vanity area and walk-in closet and a kitchen. It's pretty small, but it will do for now. I worked hard to make this apartment a safe place and there is no drama allowed in my apartment. You got drama? Go outside. I also learned my lessons about roommates - roommates are a bad idea. It's best to live alone unless you have a spouse like I do. We don't live together yet but we are looking at another apartment because this apartment I currently live in is in the ghetto. We also want something inside the 410 loop, so I can easily get around on the buses. I now have a full pantry and a full fridge of food thanks to food stamps, and SSI pays rent and the bills. I guess that's all I have to say about my being on SSI and food stamps.

Not only is our food controlled, but what we're allowed to say about it is too. Anyone who's interested can look up food libel laws.

Raising a family is NOT cheap at all. Good thing my girlfriend gets 450 something a month in food stamps to feed all of us. We are not rich and we are poor and barely have money left to spend on expensive vacations or other shit. |

He cooks them without the seasoning and drains the noodles. Then, he mixes them up with different kinds of sliced raw veggies..the more variety in color, the better. My favorite is Ramen noodles with sliced raw mushrooms, green onions, brussel sprouts, carrots, snow peas, and tomatoes topped with salsa. Yum!!!

ramen noodles info:
Ramen noodles nutrition facts that's why i don't eat ramen noodles everyday because of high in sodium. my mom and sisters told me, "eat ramen noodles is not good for everyday". so after i eat ramen noodle soup then i drank alot of water. yea, some of them don't want to eat beans, that's a food picky. well, before i refuse to eat beans or lentils then i'm like "why not give it a try"? then later i liked it because it goes with a flavor not just beans or lentils..mixed with spices, vegetables, tomatoes sauce and pasta. that was my boyfriend's cooking. |

"eating too much fast food" and always eat junk foods is just a bad habit. like KFC (kentucky fried chicken). alot of greasy oil which is yucky also it's bad for the heart. |

most likely go back to old fashioned way from 1950's and back where doctors would make a house call and where the medical cost was very affordable.
