You're not the boss of me.
Just for that, I'm gonna buy extra WIC products.
Ahem. What are WIC products?

Michelle Obama and Kerry Washington are imploring the public to avoid buying up all the WIC products in the rush to stockpile groceries during these unprecedented times of social distancing and self-quarantine.
WIC products (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) are designed to meet the nutritional and healthcare needs of low-income women, children under the age of five, and breastfeeding women.
The 43-year-old “Scandal” and Django Unchained actress took to Twitter to elucidate how important these items are for selected populations:
When stocking up for #SocialDistancing…If you see something labeled “WIC” please chose another brand. People who rely on WIC products to feed their kids cannot. We’re all in this together 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/3OwhR650m4

Former first lady Michelle Obama, 56, concurred with Washington’s sentiments and asked that fearful citizens nevertheless look out for their fellow Americans:
.@KerryWashington is right. The first few days of each month are crucial for families that depend on WIC products. Let’s look out for each other by taking the extra few seconds to look at those labels. Every act of kindness counts. ❤️ https://t.co/C1Eq6NmXfv

Well, the grifter speaks. Pffft...
Effem.
People who buy WIC products are spending my money.
So I am not suppose to buy fruits and vegetables? Also things like bread, canned veggies or peanut butter?
Okay, they might have a valid point there.
Doesn’t excuse a life time of irrelevance, but hey.
You're not the boss of me.
Just for that, I'm gonna buy extra WIC products.
Ahem. What are WIC products?
Select another brand? Have either of these two idiots been to a store lately?
Don’t buy staple food products, people, because the WIC people need them more than you do.
More non-essentials flapping their gums.
Never heard of it.
Go F yourself bitch. I have zero tolerance for these aholes.
Someone told me the annual income base for WIC eligibility in Ohio is 43K
I wonder if that’s true. I never checked. It’s pretty incredible if it is.
To quote a certain darling band of the Left..
“F YOU. I WON’T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!”
Glad someone asked I don’t what WIC products are either. I will find out and go buy some now.
They are officially approved foods that persons with EBT cards ( formerly known as food stamps) can buy.
They include items such as milk, eggs, yogurt, peanut butter and canned tuna.
In other words, they are the food staples that all of us have stocked up on.
“Select another brand? Have either of these two idiots been to a store lately?”
Seriously. My grocery store in upstate SC is still a bit bare in a lot of areas. I would be willing to bet that neither of these two idiots have been to a grocery store in the past decade, let alone these past few weeks.
At this point, Big Mike should just revert back to being a male and go on with life. There’s NO credibility, no interest.....basically a NOBODY.
People are going to buy milk and vegetables regardless of WIC restrictions, and some people who aren’t on WIC are in pretty bad financial condition themselves. Plus, by the time I get to the store whole sections, like peanut butter, are gone. Still, this is only for the crisis, I suppose, and not bad to know - and we only know about this because it was posted here, not because the media is making a big thing out of it.
There is a huge black market for WIC items, particularly baby formula: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/02/magazine/money-issue-baby-formula-crime-ring.html
Ironic this plea comes from one who literally starved public school children via the MICHELLE OBAMA SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM.
