Yes they are. That’s because food stamps are used to buy chips, cookies, and other wonderful processed foods. Then they go to the ER to get treatment for their fat butts and cost us more money there.
Everyone always mentions that the "Poor" buy starchy greasy processed food because they are poor.
If they were REALLY poor, they would get USDA/food bank/Farmers' Market staples and cook from scratch, save a fortune, and be healthier. I had neighbors once who were on welfare, because of the breadwinner's legitimate disbility. They did just that, and ate very well, and the kids were in good physical condition
Many are poor because they won't work.
Cooking is work.
Processed food is easy. Just open it and eat, and pay someone else to have done the preparation...Or to put it differently, our "poor" have chefs.
One always wonders where compassion goes. I'll be honest about where mine went. We see a "Homeless" person, and initially are tempted to give them money. Then we ask ourselves, "Where are this person's family and friends?" Well, the family and friends usually have been looted to buy drugs, etc., and they are not allowed near them any more. At some point the individual made a choice about how they wanted to live.
I was poor as a kid. I decided I didn't like it, and avoided it. That was my choice. They made theirs.
Bingo!
Here in my tiny little Southern town, we have two grocery stores. On one side of town, we have the more "normal", or regular store, and on the other side we have what I call the "ghetto grocery". I switch going back and forth between them, since they are about an equal distance from my house.
What REALLY pisses me off is when I go to the "ghetto grocery" and I see folks with TWO grocery buggies... and when you get behind them in the checkout line you see that they are paying for the items in the "food buggy" with EBT. Then, they pay for the "beer, wine, and cigarette buggy" with cash.
Am I the only one who sees a problem here?
This is a blind squirrel/nut moment for Bauer... he is an idiot with NO chance. Folks here will never get past his immature, bratty behavior.
