Wonder if they do a Cotswolds side board in this?

Such professionalism. Knowledge of ethical issues & nutrition, giving guidance-jack really knows her shit eh?
I'm at work and googled this in seconds. The answer is YES they contain palm oil. And somehow Jack has appointed herself as the appropriate person to write about food ethics? Oh yeah I forgot her meticulous research of food ethics has concluded cheap = good, expensive = bad. No wonder everyone laughed at her at that imaginary dinner party. I wonder if it was around the time of calling herself 'Dr Jack Monroe' (this makes me die to think about, so embarrassing).

These screenshots are doing the rounds on twitter. Replies to a Nigel Farage tweet, and evidence of the narrative Jack feeds with her £20 a week shops.

The last Tweet really makes me despair. Per person that’s just over one piece of chicken, a few carrots, a quarter of a loaf of the shittiest cheap white bread, a couple of potatoes. Day in, day out. Sure you wouldn’t be starving to death but you’d be feeling absolutely awful from the lack of nutrients. Feeding people isn’t just about physically filling their stomachs but also providing the correct nutrition to keep their bodies functioning and prevent them from becoming unwell. You can be obese and eat large quantities of food on a daily basis, yet still be malnourished if what you’re eating lacks nutrition. Are these people too thick to understand this?

Also you’d be bloody miserable. I wonder how many of these people could stick to this diet?

And Jack feeds into this, as we can see. At this point she’s basically campaigning in favour of keeping people hungry rather than to help them

Just catching up!
I do get asked if I went to university in the city I live in. Only because it has a strong, distinctive regional accent which I have not picked up and has 3 (yes 3!) universities. And if that isn't enough to me then I don't know what is!?!
The picture must be a flirty thing. I hope the intended recipient is packing up and moving already.

People do NOT need experimental riffs on nasty instant noodles.

Cheap recipes to teach people to cook should be simple, healthy and largely uncontroversial. Basic tomato sauce for pasta (that if budget & taste permits you could add bacon, tuna, olives, diced pepper, etc to). Simple ragu for bolognese, which could easily get adapted into chilli con carne, cottage pie, etc. Some easy recipes for chickpeas or beans that don't involve peaches.

Jack has never produced anything like that. If you're skint, you don't want to experiment. You need simple, foolproof recipes that will help you learn the fundamentals of cooking, without a drained spaghetti hoop in sight.

Also why not just buy plain dried noodles that contain so much less shit? I don't understand her obsession with instant noodles when she still adds so much shit to them. You can make a simple and delicious broth with some vegetable stock, a few aromatics and a teaspoon of miso! She's so terrible.

Someone tweeted her asking if she ever ages?! And here's the raw, non-edited reality:
She looks so ill in that B&W photo it’s actually disturbing.

Makes you wonder whether it was edited to make her look worse. Was she signalling to her ex that day: look at me, you left me in the lurch, I’m not looking after myself, I haven’t been eating.

She definitely shared herself looking like shit for a reason. Considering how she’s much more prone to perfecting the look of her face, teeth and body for social media.

You just know she introduced herself to everyone like that, in the style of Dr Marvin Monroe from the Simpsons. “Hi, I’m Dr Jack Monroe”. She probably didn’t put on her Eliza Doolittle street urchin accent so much either.

So by her saying that's what we pay taxes for, it shouldn't be down to charities to step in she's pretty much just said don't bother donating to Marcus Rashford's charity??

We've paid out taxes Krish, mate!! Why should we bother donating more?
Unless you donate to the Jack Monroe doesn't want to have to get a job charity fund. Then she's ok with that.

I get distracted from her poorly face because her fringe is screaming at me. “TERRIBLE

I can't get over this new mincing kale thing. And grated carrot in a bowl of noodles, what about the nice crunch of a carrot? I am beginning to wonder if she actually has no teeth. That's why her gum to tooth ratio looks different in every photo, she's been photoshopping them on!

Just had a quick look on twitter. Found these tweets. I am so fucking angry right now. How can she not see how dangerous she is?

Thank you for sourcing & sharing these, these are all of our concerns being vocalised by utter cretins. All jokes aside and this isn't mugging her off but no one should have to eat the shit from her books, sorry, but no one should have to exist solely on cans, eyelid sausages, and the yellow sticker lottery. There's huge work that needs to be done from FSM to raising min wage & rent controls etc, Jack Monroe's £20 food shop (a bit of SEO there tehe x) is not helping anyone because it's a <THE LIES.gif>

and there is The Imperial War Museum, although I suppose Jack is one of their leading advisors.

Her 20 quid shop has really backfired, people will now pluck Jack out of the air as an example on why 20 is supposedly enough. For example, like: "Jack Monroe has proven on several occasions that you can do enough with just 20 pounds, enough that she can go back for a second trip! So much food she is carrying home. It's all about budgeting". What many twitter readers don't realise is that this 20 quid shop isn't feeding a family, it is feeding a small person some rations, and that JM is living off her pre-stocked cupboards and Ocado orders. Her 20 quid shop is FAKE NEWS. Cretin.
