One thing I have noticed by WIC users in the checkout line at the grocery store is that WIC (at least in TX) only allows certain brands of food. Users can’t buy the more expensive milk, or eggs, but just buy the less expensive store brand.
Good Stamps could save $$ if they did that, and cut out sodas, and energy drinks.
How can you tell a WIC user? Is it a particular kind of credit card? To be honest, I can’t even tell a EBT user.
Food stamps were for US produced food items *only*, at one time.
Food stamps could not be used for imported items.
I would like to see this policy re-instated.
Tax payer dollars shouldn’t be used to subsidize foreign agriculture/food industries.
What I have seen in those carts is all processed high calorie, high fat foods. Frozen dinners, sodas, chips, cookies, ice cream. I have even seen people shopping for the family at 7-11 and using their EBT cards. I guress if it is not your money, you don’t care what and where you buy stuff.
