and America takes another one in the........
You gotta be kidding me...
Get the fast food chains hooked on the government teat and the federal government will really feel like it has the right to create their menus.
How do Mooch'hell's food Nazi react to this ?
Bad Move!
Sure. Why not? Just in time for 2012 elections, they’ll authorize it for liquor stores and discount cigs outlets. I was behind this woman in the grocery store check out line recently. She was buying a few measly items for her kids with food stamps, and paying cash for her carton of cigs and case of beer. while doling out the food stamps, she had the nerve to complain to the cashier about how she had “lost over a hundred ninety dollahs’” in a poker game the night before. I’m standing there with just barely enough to cover my family’s needs for the week, thinking my tax dollars permit her to blow what little money she has on gambling, beer, and cigs, but she won’t spend a dime on her kids..It was all I could do to keep from slapping her across the back of her head.
I don't blame the Fast Food joints trying to get in on this. For many years I have seen the dead beats buying absolute garbage on my dime in grocery stores. Why shouldn't these guys get in on the act. The real problem with this is the states allowing anything more than staples to be bought. For crying out loud, I see people using debit looking cards as food stamps as not to embarrass these losers in the check out line.

What happened to the food police? Salt, trans-fats, Obesity?
Interesting math....
$85 billion (2012 US budget for food stamps) / 307 mil (US population)
$277 in food stamps for every person in the US per year.
So, let me get this right....we’re not only buying their food, but now we’re hiring someone to cook it for them?
WTFU America!!
Food stamps (or whatever one wants to call the program) should be for staples ONLY. You want someone to cook your food for you? OK, fine...GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
You want to buy convenience foods that can be microwaved, but which cost 2-3 times what staple foods cost? OK, fine...GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
You want to buy bottled water instead of the nearly free tap water available to 99.0% of the people in this country? OK, fine...GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
I am SICK AND F’ING TIRED OF SUPPORTING THE SHEER LAZINESS OF OTHERS. Buy whatever you want...with your own money. Can’t afford more than staples? Sorry about that, but if we the taxpayers are supporting you, then don’t eat out, don’t buy bottled water and don’t expect convenience. It not only isn’t moral to mooch off of others like that, but we simply haven’t got the money. Don’t like that? OK, fine...GET A JOB AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF!
I have often seen people using food stamps to buy soda and other junk food. I fail to understand why food stamps can’t be restricted to healthy foods like the WIC program. Where is Michelle Obama on this issue?

Well, that's what the enablers will say...
*bleep* me... I’m pissed off.
Buying Big Macs and fries with food stamps? This must be a clever Republican plot to turn liberal food nazis against government hand-outs.
I thought it was bad enough when they approved the Papa Murphy’s take and bake pizzas for EBT!
“Spend” your WIC welfare $$ on the cheese and make your own damned dough!
and America takes another one in the........ Heck -- at the rate we're going, it's only a matter of time before the Federal government will allow people to use food stamps to make the monthly payments on a new GM car.
