[quote=Anonymous]In looking at the data from the report, soft drinks top the list, but they are followed by milk, beef, cheese, bread, cereal, chicken, water, etc. Candy is at no. 11. At least half of the list are "normal" foods. But also, many items on the list can be bought for cheap. Totino's frozen pizza is less than $3; a large bag of low-end corn chips is also less than $3. If you are working two jobs to make ends meet, frozen meals or Hamburger Helper meals are easy and cheap. It sounds like the organization that published the report is very right-leaning (and a little googling shows it is indeed conservative), so there is a certain slant to it -- the talk about "able-bodied" recipients is a dead-giveaway. Remember, some families with young children cannot work if they do not have care for their children. [/quote]
