food that is already prepared and hot to serve cannot be purchased
Food meant to be consumed in the grocery store
vitamins, minerals, and any supplements
These don't look like non-food items to me. Ready to eat and quick though.

Dano
Yep - it's too bad that precludes such FOODS as rotisserie chickens etc though. I'm assuming it was MEANT to stop people using FS to buy fast food.

You're probably right on the money there. Here, we can buy a whole cooked chicken for 5 bucks at Safeway. Feeds a family of four easily and chicken soup the next day.
God-forbid people use something other than a microwave!!! Whatever did the world do before the almighty microwave!!! The world starved before that be all, end all of inventions.
Well, women used to actually cook for their men. I'm a man--I don't cook. But now, women don't feel the need to learn how to cook for their men anymore. Too busy trying to hold down an actual job, instead of being a good little housewife.

Who said it had to be a woman in the kitchen, cooking up dinner? I'm a man...I know how to cook. Besides, how hard is it to boil water, drop in spaghetti and heat the sauce in a pan and add the two?
Alcohol is a beverage. I am a pharmacist, drugs can only be dispensed be me and my colleagues. You can walk to the Piggly Wiggly and pick up a six pack. As I said you will be proven wrong, we can easily control what is bought with food stamps.
If you want to classify alcohol as a drug, so is caffeine. Yet there is no restriction on the purchase of coffee.
You dispense aspirin too? There are plenty of OTC medications that are not restricted by pharmacists. But they're not foods either, they are drugs. That's why they have potential side effects.
If I eat a whole chicken, it won't affect my motor control, but were I to drink a 6 pack--and I refuse to drink alcohol--I'd be pretty wobbly. Alcohol is not only a drug, it's a poison. People willingly poison themselves every day for some sort of altered state that the drug gives them...and society deems it acceptable.

EVERYONE should learn how to cook. BOTH genders.
If everyone did everything they should do there would be no need for police, jails, government regulations or programs. Where does human nature fit into your imaginary, polyanic scenario?

Cooking, following a recipe, is not a brain-buster. However, I see some people and wonder how they can walk and breathe properly.
Because, believe it or not, not everyone knows HOW to cook!! And as said above, also does not have the time to learn, or to take the time to cook something that doesn't come out of the microwave hot and ready five minutes after putting it in!
Iv' been reading this thread and I keep seeing the "I don't know how to cook" excuse over and over. It's a lame one. There are meals that can be put together in 30 minutes, or make a sandwhich or on your day off make enough for several days. Yes it sure is easier to come home and stick something in the microwave and having your day off to do only what you want is more fun. Admit it. It is a don't want to, don't want to learn, don't want to make changes, not a can't.
