This made me lol

Maths was never my strong suitOh @Pocahontas! You are the mother of us all!! BUT... one small point. At No.7; She has half a million subscribers. Presuming that most of these have the normal complement of eyes that would be almost one million eyes watching her.
(Of course you and I know, dear heart, that most of these subscribers are mythical beasts, so I suppose the majority could be monocular.)
The Ration challenge wouldn’t work for Jacko. She would cheat.
I am in bed reading up on granola recipes because I've been using the same recipe for years now. I ended up reading Jack's peanut butter granola recipe on the Guardian and way back in 2014 some wise individual commented "I'm surprised the writer didn't advocate putting it in a blender so that it can consumed as a drink and not trouble you with chewing the food" and I started laughing and woke up my husband. It was hard to explain why I found it so funny but I knew the fraus would get it!
Well aye of course she would, but it’s a right good big publicity opportunity potentially if she decided to do it all for likes/exposure/whatever, and I’m surprised she’s no mentioned it. Cos it looks well hard if I’m honest.
True. But seriously, the most desperate of people would have a hard time eating (drinking) the slop she produces. Is she capable of making tasty meals, retaining nutrients that include variety and interest ? Doubt it. She’s not skilled enough.
ETA fuel conservation has to be factored in as well. No hope for that.

I love this quote "Rodrigues offered no immediate explanation for the contents of his underwear".witness protection program, innit.
speaking of ...
Police find cash hidden between Bolsonaro ally's buttocks
Brazilian senator Chico Rodrigues is caught with notes during a search of his homewww.theguardian.com
If Jack had cooked for him there would have been an explanation alright.
That is actually horrific
No way is a person going to get all their daily calories from this. Tinned fruit and veg should at least be offered too and oats if possible. I get it has to be shelf stable foods but what is on that list is never enough.Freezergate has replaced livergate has replaced shopping gate has replaced whatever the last gate was. I'm getting Groundhog day vibes. You have to hand it to Jack, she is very adept at creating controversies.

Just as I think Squiggle might be onto her, they end it with 'Inspiring!'
You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink
Have to say, as an ex fan, I made that. Was actually quite nice and I’ve made it more than once. However, there’s about 4 ingredients
can’t really go wrong if you love PB
I AM a total bellend, and even I haven’t done this, either
You can apparently milk it, though...You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink

The initial ‘well done’ and afterthought ‘inspiring’ was almost like saying ‘jinx’ to deflect The Wrath Of Jack.View attachment 277059

Poor squiggle obviously feared a backlash as they dared to ask the Jackolytes’ Dear Leader a sensible question.
@MancBee I'm quoting your post because it's really important and to the point, and Jack could do with reading it again.
Jack, I know you don't actually care about these people. But at least consider doing one decent thing for once, and dropping this tit. Go back to talking about sandwich shapes or hygge or doggos or something, your followers seem to lap it up so it won't do your engagement any damage.
Hopefully his father pays for school dinners
Believe me it’s not precious bacon, it’s the scraps of dubious welfare/country of origin, at pennies a bag
even so you wouldn’t sling it in porridge with pears

Echoing what @MancBee and @Cuileann and others have said, what she’s doing is just so dangerous. What’s she doing for ‘fun’ cos she’s got duck all else to do is other people’s real lives and she’s feeding this false narrative that (if you don’t mind eating nothing but brown slop) it’s completely achievable for all. With SO MANY plot holes e.g. where’s the toilet roll and toiletries and household cleaners and cat food fitting in? I don’t get why no one picks her up on all this on Twitter. She just shouldn’t be getting away with it.
No one else seems to have pointed this out but does anyone think that’s a massive portion of porridge? I find porridge really filling and my normal portion is less than half of what was in that horrid bacon bowl.
A couple of things to admit:
I made a massive batch of lasagne the other week and portioned it all up in those foil square tubs to freeze and cook when we need them. Photo evidence to compare to Jack’s attached.
I have never defrosted my freezer

She has spent more on the containers than the contents
Someone needs to let squiggle know, there is no 9-5! She has burger all to do all day, not even a school run some days. Prattling about on twitter is her modus operandi

Poverty is on the increase daily as Marcus Rashford pointed out. She could be doing such as petitioning the government stating that despite being self employed etc she should be on a decent liveable wage but under the current climate that is not possible.
She could be using twitter to ask people for ball park figures of how much there expendable income was decreased and think of ideas how to make it stretch further. Ideas on food budgeting( outside her 20 pound or slop) such as buy bigger cuts of meat to make it last many meals, use greengrocers of possible to buy vegetables and fruit, shop ethically either in chairty shops or second hand swaps etc.
There is loads and loads she could do instead she straddling her expensive sideboards, blending what little food she had into mush and buying food that is seen as unethically farmed.
