The true Abbott shows himself again.
Pretending like welfare recipients buy vegetables and healthy food. We've all seen their grocery carts and the size of their asses.
There has not been real hunger in America for decades. There is free food everywhere even in New York City.
This is moronic.

yep
Well stated!
I love to work as well, it helps me sleep good! lol

Why go to a food bank for healthy food when uncle sugar gives you ding dongs/junk food?
Stop giving the lazy mice free cheese

No way am I voting for Abbott in the Primary.
I agree! Seriously, how come it’s ok for gangs of blacks to do it why can’t an old guy like me do the same?
This morning I went food shopping at my local supermarket and bought just a few essentials , bread, milk, etc., a piece of bottom round and some chop meat and I splurged on some ice cream for my wife.
The bill: $107.47. Why did I even have to pay? Why couldn’t I just take what I wanted?
Thanks Sleepy Joe.
Didn’t you watch that Eddie Murphy skit? Don’t you know white people give each other stuff for free?
