Safeway, Inc. would need to spend $40.05 million to introduce the carts at its 1,335 stores in the U.S.

this cost of course would be covered by OBAMA-MONEY from “Obama’s Private Stash...”

Dear God:

Please come back into our lives again. The vacuum that results from Your not being there invites all these hideous idols.

All you have to do is restrict the EBT cards so that you can only purchase what the control-freaks permit you to purchase.

No other action is required.

This is what happens when the government believe they are paying for your Healthcare - they then think they have the right to tell you how to live and eventually how to die.

Nudge? This sounds like a Cass Sunstein idea.

They want y’all eating Monsanto’s GMO faux vegetables.
Neonicotinoids will kill you, but they appear to have the greatest impacts of illness on us.
Do not buy vegetables whose PLU starts in 8****, they are full of genetically modified insecticides.
No, I am not crazy.
Ask Michael Taylor, former head of Monsanto, #2 at the FDA for the last 6 years.

The idea is that if da gummint be paying the food bill, then they’re entitled to micromanage:

Kay:

Saaaay, if we’re headed to socialized medicine WHY don’t f*ggots have to pay a higher insurance premium cuz of HIV treatment..?

In the system we’re headed towards, straight people will be robbed to SUBSIDIZE f*ggotry.

Sorry, but it’s the same principle.

WHERE does this end? IT DOES NOT.

Leave me the hell alone. You have government schools—what are they learning there? Now you need another program to “re-educate” the individuals who never learned anything in the government schools.

Why the hell have government schools in the first place? This country has become a government of the government, by the government and for the government. The ones who do not need the government, never taken a government check in their life, have suddenly become the slave ant the enemy. I am proud to count myself in that number. John 8:32.

I think that this monstrous government arrogance calls for one of your blinking-eyes gifs. :-)

You might start talking accurately to begin with. There is no such thing as a genetically modified insecticide.

Most Americans, including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants, do not purchase enough whole grains, dark green and orange vegetables, and legumes

I don't think you are allowed to buy healthy items with the EBT cards, because I have never seen anybody where I shop do so.

The agency commissioned an “expert panel” to make recommendations on how to guide the more than 47 million Americans on food stamps into spending their benefits on fruits and vegetables.

Sorry Nanny Staters. This just isn't going to happen. Ain't gonna happen. Your "expert panel" could have better spent their time and the tax payers' money playing with their navel lint.

They should just put smiley face stickers on good, healthy foods and put frowny face stickers on bad, unhealthy foods.
