Using food as a weapon is the modus operandi of all African dictators.
They can not buy non-food items with the FS, but they can buy any food they want. WIC is the program which limits ‘purchases’ to milk, cheese, bread, formula, etc. I never go grocery shopping the first weekend of the month because I get pissed off at the human cholesterol clogging up the aisles. Not letting anyone through. Eight kids from 12 different men. Driving nice cars and here are my tax dollars feeding their 200 pound kids. We have the fattest ‘poor’ people on the face of the earth. Then my tax dollars pay for diabetes, kidney and high blood pressure treatments for these leeches. When I think of the amount money I spend on health insurance and food in a month it makes me want to demand these fat sluts get off their backs and get real jobs to support themselves and their multiple bastards. (Sorry about the rant.)
