Starting Friday, Joyce Lewis and her family will lose $44 from their monthly food stamp benefits.
The food stamps buy a lot of economical rice-based meals for the family -- four adults and a grandson who live with Lewis in Spring Hill, Florida.
Occasionally, when her grocery store is running a deal, Lewis indulges the family with spare ribs or chicken.
The benefit -- totaling $800 for four adults -- never lasts Lewis and her family a full month.
"When I get to the end, we always run out. I try to go to all the food pantries," Lewis said.

Her adult daughters who live with her aren't in a position to work -- one is a new mom, and another is due to give birth soon.

3rd generation welfare or 4th, 5th, 6th?
I’ve been in line behind food stampers, I didn’t see any “rice based” products.
I wonder how long they had to search to find someone who actually uses food stamps as they should be...
I have lost about 50% of my buying power since you assclowns decided to vote for the guy who wanted this "fundamental transformation" Eff off.
That’s sad... almost as sad as my federal income taxes. Tell you what, I’ll send you $44 and you pay my taxes. Deal?
Three adults, three generations and not a father in sight.
Maybe the problem isn’t the food stamps.
‘Till they get down to fish heads and rice, they are eating high on the hog.
‘Sounds like Lewis’ only plan is to keep stuffing food down all the adults in her “family” on MY dime.
Embedded breeders,, bet the Founding Fathers never thought of them popping up on the nation’s canvas.
4 adults in one home with 100% unemployment.
You’d think at least one of them could get a job at McDonalds.
Gluten free pork rinds?
So where are the baby daddies?
Does it really need to be said?
And Walmart greeters get an employee discount.
OMG HOW INSULTING. Do these food stamp recipients actually think that those of us WORKING TO PAY TAXES for their EBT cards can even afford to eat the way they can? I don’t know who these sob stories are convincing, but I know every few people who can spend that kind of money on groceries.
$800 a month isn’t enough? Only buys chicken occasionally?? ... I spend about the same amount for a household of 4 adults and 2 children in a month and we eat very well.. Of course I buy store brands and large sizes ,, and I shop at deep discount groceries like ALDI ..

I can’t read this, it makes my blood pressure rise. I hate getting in line behind people with food stamps. They are usually obese and have several children with them. It’s a good thing people can’t read other peoples minds; if you only knew what I was thinking.
Give me a break!
I support a wife, four kids, two dogs and a cat on less than $800 a month for food. We eat very well. Just had beef stew that was made from scratch for lunch. Granted, I can not remember last time we ate steak or ribs. But we do just fine.
She should tell her daughters if they are going to get knocked up, they should start charging. Better to be a paid wh*re, than a broke sl*t.
