And NO ONE the H*** is going to tell me what to eat.

Sounds an awful lot like "Give me your money, and don't you dare question how I spend it!"

That my not be your intention, but in essence that's what your saying.

One of the multitude of problems with the government controlled welfare system is just this issue. If I give charity to someone personally, and then see him blowing it on cigarettes and junk food, I'm free not to give to him again. (This actually happened to me once.) When the government does it, I have to give no matter what they do.

So are you saying there are to be no restrictions on how you spend "your" money on food. Really? What about liquor? Cigarettes? That OK?

Don't drink. Don't smoke. Also, when it's transferred to me, it IS my money. (However, I suppose that's another example of my attitude which, as you've so elegantly stated in another post, "sucks".)

However, for the sake of argument (and this one is really getting tiresome), I can spend food stamp dollars on whatever foodstuffs I want ...

... until the law is changed ...

... so, if you don't like it, CHANGE THE LAW!!
