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?

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.

Theri food budget is like any other person’s, except that they are poor, if they waste a dollar on a food item then it is a dollar wasted from their limited food budget, just like anyone else on a limited food budget, if you spend carelessly then you come up short at the end of the month.

For the chronic poor their entire lives tend to reflect their IQs and impulse control, they are likely to eat pop-tarts for breakfast not a cantaloupe and oatmeal, chips and hot dogs probably have a larger role in their diet than does Obama’s arugula salad.

As far as Whole Foods, I asked you why you don’t mention them, it is always Walmart that you use.
