If we cut the Twinkies, Slim Jims, Mountain Dew and Doritos and promoted fruits and veggies we would probably save a ton of money in health care costs. Folks on assistance would also have a lot more energy to go find a job.
Those pesky poor people will just end up living longer and sucking up tax dollars through medicare et al.
Too difficult to manage.
It would be better to hammer those who sell their food stamps or trade them.
Also hammer the businesses that also scam the system. Make the fines hefty enough and that will remove the insentive to cheat.
Amazing Was the turkey really big? Were there options for a smaller portion at that price?
The only turkey I could find that was 29 cents a lb. was 40 lbs. and I swear it had hair on the drumsticks rather than feathers. I guess people already bought all the small ones.

There seemed to be all sizes in the freezer; I was looking for a big turkey, so I got an 18-pounder. I did see 12 and 13 pound turkeys. Gonna get another one tomorrow. They have hams for $1.37/lb this week, too, so I'm picking one of those up as well.

40 pounds??? My roasting pan holds a 20 pound bird, so I don't go over that. I have never even SEEN a 40 pound turkey!
Quit yer talkin' turkey, you're making me hungry!!
I believe food stamps should go the way of WIC, & that cookies,pop,candy, etc., not be allowed. I have seen SO many people take advantage of it, & babies w/ Mountain Dew in their bottles are NOT a pretty sight, trust me.
