Food stamps wtf

So today I stopped into BJ's wholesale store on my way home from work to pick up a few things for dinner. In front of me in line is a young black girl (like 17 or 18 tops) with a kid, maybe 2 yrs old. She has a cart LOADED with all types of unhealthy shit. Cases of tastykakes, chips ahoy, soda, chips, white bread, hershey's candy, pre-cooked processed dinners, etc. Everything in the cart was barely fit for human consumption. She buys all this shit, which must have totalled over 200 bucks, and whips out a welfare debit card.

1) on a side note, WTF is with black people eating all the most unhealthy shit? The customers in this BJ's are 95% black people, so this is just my experience - but all I see is cases of tastykakes, prepared processed dinners, chips, soda, etc. I must look like a weirdo to them with my cart, I had fat free milk, avacados, tomatoes, bananas, lettuce, yogurt, and apples.

2) Aren't there restrictions on what food stamps can be used for? I know you can't buy cigarettes or liquor, but all the snack junk food? Food stamps need to be replaced with government-run food depositories, where welfare recipients can pick up a pre-packaged box of milk, eggs, butter, wheat bread, and maybe some lunchmeat or tuna fish. Fuck if you are going to reward people for not working, at least make sure they are healthy while they lounge around all day.

i completely agree. i used to work at a 711 near some low-income housing, and the story is basically the same thing. food stamps go by taxable and nontaxable grocery. nontax things are allowed (ie food, no matter how far removed from actual food the processing has made it) and taxable things are not.
the worse thing however is the fact that some fuckers get a cash portion that can be used on things like diapers, cold meds, toothpaste, rent etc. but most of the people who came in that 711 would take the cash out of the special ATM we've got and load up on LOTTO TICKETS AND FUCKING BEER.

you know.. think of all the crap food that 711 sells- WHY ARE WE EVEN TAKING FOOD STAMPS AT THIS STORE?!

Instead of food stamps, they should get chickens or cows.  I'm sure they can convert the vacant crackhouse next door into a barn.  Really, think about all the milk, eggs, meat, etc.  Black people never got their 40 acres and a mule, so they can at least get a couple chickens dammit!

nigga, what the fuck is juice?  I want drink.  I want that purple shit
