Ridiculous. They aren’t going to eat this stuff because it is 30% off.

Most have food stamps now. They could buy this stuff right now and never worry about the price because they don’t pay for the food anyway.

If the government is so worried about what they eat, they would put limitations on the kind of food that could be purchased with food stamps.

But then, the sheeple wouldn’t like that, would they?

They use the food stamps they don’t sell for food and their cash for drugs and alcohol.

Yup!

They don’t buy it because they want fully prepared frozen meals, etc. Or just palin junk food.

One thing you have to say about the US: Our food supply is absolutely awesome! Cheap, fresh, wholesome, great selection. What more could you ask for.

My wife an I sometimes show at the West Side Market in Cleveland. If you’ve never been, it’s a must try. Many different vendors competing on price quality selection.

We love our veggies. If you were a vegetarian you could probably buy a weeks worth of food for $10.

When the stamps were first introduced it was that way. One could not purchase soft drinks, prepackaged foods, snack foods. You could get dried beans, peanut butter, dairy, sugar, meats, produce, things to cook meals. There were also classes to show you how to stretch the purchases you made with the stamps. A few years in and all that became ‘discriminatory’.
