Food Stamps are a supplement designed to help families with their food bills. They were never intended to provide for ALL of a family’s nutritional needs.
Is it asking too much to expect citizens to take some responsibility for their own well being?
Well... I suppose it is... judging from this idiotic exercise in government nannyism.
Food Stamps, plus a little enlightened consumerism, will go a long way toward providing good nutrition.
For example, I buy ten pounds of long-grain rice for about 35 cents a pound. If you buy the small package of convenience rice you’ll pay up to $3 pound. And it’s all right there on the supermarket shelf clearly visible to anyone with two brain cells to rub together.
Actually, I’m not against giving any politician any dose of reality :))
I have noticed food stamp holders buy a lot of junk food. Sodas and pizza, etc.
