If Michelle O wanted to reduce obesity and poor eating habits change the food stamp program to allow only the purchase of healthy foods. I frequently see people at the grocery store with carts laden with chips, soda and every type of junk food, not to mention large steaks and crab legs paying for their purchase with a food stamp EBT card. Often these same people then pay cash for the beer and liquor in their carts. Make the food stamp program like the WIC program that restricts purchases only to healthy foods. I would bet the number of people on food stamps would decline as a result.
I have cut our food bill down to $70 a week and that includes the homemade dog food I make for the pup. I am buying less meat, mainly chicken and hamburger, but we actually cook every single meal and everything is made from scratch. The only junk in the cart is one bag of potato chips that Hubby refuses to give up. Lol
I get absolutely livid when I get behind someone with an EBT card or WIC coupons.
