well as long as we’re all going to be good little communists its high time to restrict the soda for the takers....that and their potato chips, and candy bars, and skittles, and their Arizona teas....just as bad for you as soda...
Better yet, re-open the food distribution centers. Forget food stamps, or make them only usable at the government “stores.” Then limit the inventory to healthy food items.
When my mother and her 3 kids moved to NC in 1970, separating from our father, there was a short time when our family received public assistance (my mother started taking in children which she kept in our apartment, before THAT got regulated). I remember having to go downtown and get that black and white-labelled cheese, peanut butter, etc. It was humiliating, even for me at age 12, which was (or should have been the point— get off the backs of others and earn for yourself.
We never had much until my mother remarried, and even then a lower middle class way of life seemed pretty good by comparison.
