Uttered frequently
Frequently uttered
We'll support it in order to keep the "yes", our capital, which we utter frequently

This is a sarcastic political statement making fun of some leaders who are always ready to say "yes sir!".
I don't think it is about "food". Otherwise the writer would have said تملأ بطوننا

... which feeds us.
The whole sentence is سندعمها من اجل ألا نفقد ال(نعم) التي هي رأس مالنا و التي تملأ افواهنا
so we should translate according to the given context. Translation: " We will support it/her in order not to lose the blessing of our capital ( money) which (is what) feeds us."

Discussion
I do agree with Mr.Atef, is it "Niaam: blessings or Na'am: as in Yes".
