Second, you all need to educate yourselves about the concept of food deserts. Many folks who use food stamps live in crappy areas where there aren't stores or markets that sell fresh foods. Or sometimes they do sell them, but they are incredibly expensive. So who is going to draw the line over what is fresh enough and what is too processed, and how will they ensure that everyone has access to a market selling affordable products? Also, many people on food stamps struggle with maintaining appliances/utilities that can be used to store and cook fresh food. How will that be addressed?

I mean, just say that you are mad that poor people are being given  money for food. At least that would be honest.[/quote]

I am mad about it. Many of these people are wasting taxpayer money. I see them at the grocery store all the time, and they don’t care about price at all because they did not work for the money. This one lady consistently shows up around the beginning of the month and uses her EBT card to buy $8 per gallon milk and candy, and soda. She fills her cart up with around $400 of stuff at the the beginning of the moment and a man who appears to be the father of some of her children(but not all of them) shows up to pay the remaining amount with cash. Mind you there is a more economical grocery store less than half a mile away that has $3 per gallon milk, cheaper soda, and candy, but this lady chooses to go the store with overpriced groceries instead.

Thank you for being honest at least. Can you give me other examples of wasted tax payer money that you spend as much time thinking about or that bother you as much?[/quote]
