I think it is outrageous that these grocery stores and retail chains are making such obscene profits from selling food! Food is a human right. We need government run stores where people can get free food to compete with the private sector. Plus, if these publicly owned stores are making so much money off the government, the government should require them to only sell healthy food.

I understand your point about what they can buy.

My point was from first hand experience. You can buy junk at a convenience store but not hot prepared food. Doesn’t make sense.

And I’m not for sure but I think wedding cakes aren’t on the list of approved foods.

In California you can!
