I can't even eat a lot of fruit because it breaks me out with sores if I eat too many. There's a lot of people with food problems like this.
Yes, it makes it damned hard to eat, doesn't it? Having to be afraid of food deprives you of one of life's most basic pleasures. Ruins your social life too.

You have my full sympathy. Crohn's is no joke.

Some of the hardest working, best attitude, and incredibly high work ethic people I know make minimum wage, or near minimum. They just arent smart enough to have a well paid skill set. So lets not pretend that your argument is based on anything other then trying to denigrate people to justify poor payment to them.

Default TRUMP really trying to get run out og office?

Can u imagine, just saw where TRUMP wants to get rid of food stamps, and start giving food stamp recipients boxes of food with common stuff in it like us regular working folks have to eat. This is gona make a lot of people mad, around the 1st of the month when the cards are reloaded it's like a free for all around here. Course we do load up our carts like this whenever I'm able to work 4 or 5 weeks of major overtime in a row and catch up on our bills. The rest of the time it's just regular cheap food, nuthen like the folks at the 1st of month load up on. In fact, people look at me like I'm stupid when I pay for food at the 1st of the month in cash, it's that uncommon, lol. Saw where one person was complaining about how they would get there special food there DR. had them on. Darn the go to the DR., must have good insurance because this crappy expensive health insurance we have makes a doctors visit unaffordable, maybe if I get really sick and loose my job, insurance, home and such I'll end up on the governments program and can get sum good free insurance and food and live it up with the rest of the poor folks, just my luck, Trump will have it all screwed up where by that time it'll be just as crappy as the insurance and food I got now. JUST LUV ME SUM DONALD TRUMP

Yup, they sure load up. uh huh. on that massive $254 average food stamp benefit they must eat steak every day! Yup.

I mena hey with that $254 they spend a massive $2.82 on each meal for their family. Im sure that buys tons of steak for them and their kids.

Oh and you will love that free food! Yup! and the BEST insurance....(clue-its often not the best).

Being that poor sucks. Like a lot. feel free to try it.

According to your description, sounds as if they will do a lot better under Trump's plan.

Thanks for pointing that out.

OP- How do you know that every single person loading up their carts is a Food Stamp recipient? Do you stalk each and every one of them to the check out to see what they are using as payment method?

An extra $254 a person, not bad, cash job on the side, free rent, healthcare not all that bad, just don't add the old man or you'll blow the whole scam, lol. (clue-its often not the best) clue-its the worse of the worse OBAMA could dream up that a lot of us working folks now have. Kinda thought bout splitin up and giving it a try before, not a whole lot to loose.

And what pray tell say you to our Military who are on food stamps also?

(God forbid we should pay them enough so they don't have to be on Government assistance!)

Do you have a source? This just sounds like a bar rant.
