“It’s crazy because you’re telling me what I can and cannot spend my food stamps on?” said Tamara Beverly, whose daughter receives food stamps. “If I’m the type of person that wants some chips, I should be able to buy chips with food stamps.”

“They need to not make that a law because it’s not fair to the kids. Some kids, that’s their only way of having any type of money,” said Adriell Coleman, who grew up in a household that relied on food stamps.

There should be no such thing as food stamps.

You’re needy? You get what you need “in kind”.

Go to the food bank and get your bag of beans, rice, meat, cheese and vegetables. Then go home and cook them.

If you don’t want to eat it, then go hungry. It isn’t complicated.

I just watched the video. The irony is that Rubio(D) is a lib do-gooder, trying to force people on foodstamps to eat
“healthy.”

People that tend to get dependent on these social programs
also tend to make poor choices with whatever money they manage to get especially when they know that there will be more next month.

If I didn’t have to buy and cook my own food, I could probably aford
a cell phone, bling out my pickup truck, and eat out at McD’s too.

Oh Jeez. I don’t see a big problem with this. If you’re going to be on the take from the government then you can’t bitch when they tell you how to spend it. If you want some Fu**ing chips then go to work.
