It's be nice if food stamps were severely restricted to the items on
the perimeter of the grocery stores, such as fresh fruits and veggies,
eggs and dairy, and meats. You should also ba able to use them for
frozen or canned veggies, dried beans, and a few other things that
just don't happen to come to mind right now. I strongly believe in
the concept of food stamps and WIC, but they should never be allowed
to be used for high GI carbs or things like, "boxes of brownie mix and
Kraft mac & cheese."
I'd also like to see govt. farm subsidies go to growers of veggies and
fruits, and eliminated for farmers of corn, wheat, rice and soybeans.

I agree, Bryan. I don't think food stamps should be used on items like
cakes, twinkies, potato chips and such. I've gone to WalMart with this
family and they pile their TWO carts full of cookies, chips, snacks,
crackers, cake mixes and such. They might buy a Stouffer's lasagna, but
they always get pizza rolls, frozen burritos, hot pockets, pot pies and
such. Oh, don't forget the pop-tarts.
