Food stamp recipients aren’t buying necessities, and there’s government research to prove it.
CNS News reported that the No. 1 commodity bought by United States citizens using food stamps in 2011 was soft drinks. In addition, the amount spent on those soft drinks totaled $357,700,000 at only one “leading U.S. grocery retailer.”
On the other hand, citizens not receiving government assistance bought milk as their No. 1 commodity.
Time to end this taxpayer rip off and let private charities funded with private money through voluntary giving handle the feeding of "the poor". I guarantee they'll watch where the money goes much closer than the bureaucrats in Washington.

Eligible purchases on SNAP ...
Soft drinks, candy, cookies, snack crackers, and ice cream are food items and are therefore eligible items
Seafood, steak, and bakery cakes are also food items and are therefore eligible items
Trump's right ... only in the U.S. are poor people obese. Load up on Twinkies and Coke, get Type 2 diabetes, and then expect the U.S. to provide health care because you abused your body.

What are these people going to do in a prolonged emergency where government services or cards are down?
There are videos that show what happens when there is a hiccup for just a few hours. It isn't pretty. I assume the welfare takers will resort to looting. They loot when times are good, I imagine when times are bad they won't stop and say, "Hey Tyrone, we really should take care of ourselves and family instead of relying on the federal government."
