You're listening to Pantsuit Politics.

Remember this little viral diddy from

2023?

I wish politicians look out for miners and not just minors on an island somewhere. Lord, we got

folks in the street ain't got nothing to heat and the whole beast milk and welfare.

Oliver Anthony hit a lot of nerves with his Richmond, North of Richmond, including the

perennial debate surrounding highly processed foods and government benefits.

Since then, that debate has become a reality with six states receiving approval from the

federal government to exclude sodas and candy from the list of eligible products for SNAP. We're going to talk about that today. Outside of politics, a while back, I touched off quite the discussion in the news brief asking about bedtimes. So we're going to talk about bedtime, outside of politics on today's show. I'm just going to look forward to that. We're going from one of my least favorite things, shaming people about what they eat,

to my absolute favorite thing, bedtime. And so it's going to be a journey today. We have a journey about everywhere that we make stuff. And a lot of that happens on Substack. We would love for you to join us there. you do not have to be a paid subscriber to get our show notes, to get transcripts of our episodes, as well as our Friday essays. You can find all the things Pantsu

Politics has and does on our homepage on Substack. So if you like what we do here, a free, very

easy way to help us out is to follow us on Substack. We hope you'll do that today. You can find

a link in the notes.

Next up, let's talk about Snap and Soda. Food waste is one of the biggest climate problems we can actually solve. When our leftovers and scraps end up in landfills, they emit methane, a greenhouse

gas that heats the planet 80 times faster than carbon dioxide. And most of that waste comes from our own homes,

which means that although the system may be broken, we still have agency. Mill is the cleanest,

easiest way to prevent food waste at home, eliminating all the pain points associated with old-fashioned

compost pails and smelly garbage cans. It makes keeping food out of the trash as easy as dropping it in.

Toss in nearly any food scraps, even meat, bones, and dairy, and that's it.
