Part of the reason is because it's cheap. When you don't have a lot of money you end up buying cheap food. It's a vicious cycle hard to get out of. 2 or 3 liters of coke for the same price of milk.

This is such a crock. They buy that crap in mass because it's cheap AND easy.
God forbid you put a little effort into your meals to benefit your health. Oh that's right we'll pay for that too. Pathetic.

The cheapest food requires some work to prepare. Can't be bothered beyond opening a bag or throwing something in a microwave and that's why poors end up with cheap shitty processed foods.

A case of water is pretty damn cheap. Probably the same as a 12 pk of cokes.

So they buy a 2 liter of coke instead of a gallon of milk. Hence the reason they're poor, they're stupid.

Yeah. I drink lots of soda because it is cheap...
Oh, actually no I don't. I drink water because it isn't full of worthless calories. Not only is water calorie free, it is free.
But I guess I am crazy.
Thinking someone subs soda for milk because it is cheap is crazy.

You know what's cheap? Water.
No human in the history of the planet has ever had a biological requirement to consume soda for survival.

Nope. Water has the same nutritional value as soda (zero) and it's free. There are lots of foods that are dirt cheap and healthier than what I see purchased with food stamps.
Like dried beans, pasta, rice. A dozen eggs are 1.50.
Some of the candy they buy (like gummy bears) are more expensive per ounce than ground beef. The same goes with a bag of chips. It's very expensive per weight.

48 tea bags, which will get you 16 gallons of tea if you use 3 instead of 4 bags liek i do.... and 5lb of sugar will run you a whopping $8.00 at Wal Mart. canned veggies are .60 ea and you can microwave a full can in 45 seconds if you need a snack. beats the hell out of $3 for a bag of chips.

Son: put down the bong, turn off the Michael Moore flick, and let the adults debate politics until your cranium has cleared of the fog.

Water is a hell of a lot cheaper than Dr Pepper.

Or you could buy a filter and drink water for the price of your water bill every year. AND you lower the amount of dental checkups you have with the fact that you don't have acidic liquids constantly on your teeth.
Drinking soda as a main water substitute = more health problems = more expensive health care = tax payer dollars from the ACA.

You don't actually believe this do you?! The only answer to this is to provide vouchers that are very item specific. Food stamp recipients should be drug tested monthly and limited to basic items. Remember, the great majority of them are to stupid to raise their own kids and stay out of jail. We can't possibly expect to cut them loose with $600 in a grocery store and expect good results.
