The average is about $200 and I think that woman (or someone) would still somehow buy the groceries she needed to eat and that she would buy it at Walmart, and why Walmart instead of Whole Foods in your claim?

I think grocery buying in America is going to pretty much remain the same regardless of the origin of the dollar handed to the checkout lady.

1. Note what I highlighted above. I’ll bet you’d find that SNAP recipients consistently have the worst health conditions of anyone in America by any metric — and it’s largely because they buy a lot of crap at the grocery store that they DON’T need.

2. “Free money” will tend to make someone a totally irresponsible consumer. You’ve taken a major incentives for spending wisely away from the grocery shopper.

And I don’t know where Whole Foods came into this. I never mentioned that company.
