your automatic defense of people and saying the 1% on the first page has all of us believing you're blindly siding with food stamp recipients. When in reality you're just taking your little sampling of life up there in Tennessee and attempting to say the abuse isn't that bad everywhere.
Do you have a percentage or are you "just taking your little sampling of life down there in Louisiana and attempting to say the abuse" is bad everywhere? You are doing the same thing as me, except I'm not demonizing your opinion.

I'm advocating cutting welfare AND restricting what they can buy and you're acting like I'm Bernie frickin' Sanders for not wanting to give 4 year olds a diet of beans and rice because their parents are on welfare.
I don’t want any over-processed foods or processed sugars to even be allowed. But I think local stuff like seafood, meat, etc. should be fine as well as eggs, milk, wheat pasta, beans, fruit, vegetables, etc.

Hold on, so you agree our problem isn't "shame"? Should've said that in the first place.

I get up at 5am everyday to go work. I do not want to get out of my comfortable bed. My dream is to not be able to go to work ever again. If I dont go to work, I lose my house, my car, cant pay my credit cards or student loans. In no way do I envy anyone who doesnt have a job and is on food stamps. Why would anyone want this lifestyle? I've been there. Its not fun. I have money. I can travel. Some of these people have never left their small town. It's depressing. The "living high on the hog" is greatly exaggerated.
When all some people know, or care about is the small portion of the world they directly interact with, it is quite easy for them to believe they are living high on the hog while actually living a meek existence through Government assistance.

Cheap gulf shrimp sold by local vendors sounds like a great way to get diverse foods, while also pumping money into local vendors pockets.
It's easy to eat some of these luxury items for pretty cheap if you know how to shop and have a deep freeze. We buy our meat from the butcher and get a box for around $140 that feeds all four of us for the month. That includes steak at least once a week, bacon, sausage, hamburger, pork and chicken. Seafood is a little more. I know a lot of these folks aren't shopping like that but they could eat much better if they did.

Nah, YOU hold the frick on. I never said the problem was shame. I said it was a lack of shame. Maybe if you would quit looking for something to blame a problem on and see what's in front of you AND use a little bit of human nature to help fix things you wouldn't be a Bernie Sanders card carrying commie.
or maybe you would...

if we'd stop subsidizing the fricking corn industry a lot of those cheap shitty snacks would no longer be so cheap.
in fact, they will probably be the ones to go full bore to block this

No, I'm not. It is an unquantifiable opinion and I say a lack of shame is a part of the problem AND the use of same could help alleviate it. Human nature has not substantially changed in the history of man and the desire to do better is in all of us. UNLESS, we, as a people/government make it too attractive to not produce for ones self. AND that is JUST what we have done. The exact same things happen with rich folks and spoiling their children. Desire to do better is quashed and they get lazy.
Why do you think folks come across our borders? For opportunity I would say. If you were take those things away would they continue to come here? I think not.
I know you think it is complex but it really is not that hard to fix.

If you are on food stamps the only food you should get to have is a bowl of gruel three times a day.
Posted on 2/22/16 at 9:41 am to Dr RC
I think they should do food stamps the way they do WIC. Give them a voucher that dictates exactly what they can purchase. It should consist of a protein, grains and veggies. I don't want to hear all the b.s. about they have a right to choose for themselves. You have a right to choose for yourself when you are paying for it yourself.

The gruel lobby is in favor of this.

All of these controversies would disappear if we gave out FOOD instead of MONEY for food, and CLOTHES instead of MONEY for clothes, and MEDICINES instead of MONEY for medicines.

Bingo. If you are in prison, you will be served what is decided for you. You have given up your right to choose due to lack of input into the process. The same goes for the folks who are being GIVEN things.
