re: #32 Vicious Babushka

The whole reason that the Food Stamps program (or whatever it’s called now) was created in the first place, was to dispense the government surplus of dairy cheese and HFCS.

Wingnuts like to complain that “moochers” are using “food stamps” to buy junk food. They think Teh Poors should know their place and only be allowed to use “food stamps” for beans, rice & gruel.

I think a big part of the problem is that convienience stores are pretty much the only type of stores many of the poorer communities have within walking distance. So the crap food they sell is what people buy. Well, those UPC’s are allowed and provide no nutritional value. If they weren’t allowed, then the stores would have to stock fruit, real bread, and juice. Which would you rather eat on a regular basis?
