so people that happen to be without a job for a while and are use to a diet of GOOD food should switch to crap or value brands. Problem is you work to hard for to little. But then again, you wouldn't know. Crap food clouds the brain.
If your friend is going to fill your car with gas, are you going to get the premium or regular unleaded? I'd get unleaded...
Exceptions should be made for those with celiac disease to be allowed to buy gluten free. (Or other medical conditions where food comes into play).... But those buying organic just because they can with money given to them by the government should be stopped. If you want organic, that can be your motivation to get off of govt assistance. So you can purchase them with YOUR hard earned money.
Honestly, For every dollar we spend on public assistance, three dollars goes to corporate welfare. Talk about a group that does not need tax payers help. Organic food is better for all people. I make choices like not having a TV or cable, so I can spend my income on healthier food. It comes down to priorities.
I would much rather people have the option to choose good quality food, even if on assistance, because a healthy diet keeps one out of the Dr.s offices and emergency rooms. Covering the cost of medical bills for the uninsured, or underinsured is a much bigger cost to society.
I'm just grateful that I have the ability to work. I would never wish the circumstance on anyone who finds themselves in need of food assistance. I can't believe we like to think of ourselves as a civilized society but attack our most vulnerable. Further, if our economy continues to find itself in decline, and by all accounts, I don't see it heading into a positive direction, many of us could find ourselves in this very place, needing food assistance. Most people are one major illness away from bankruptcy today, even if they have insurance. We have much bigger problems in WI and nationally then nit-picking the food list for those who need some help right now.
So WI "re-labels" (ala George Orwell) ACTUAL, REAL, SAFE, GOOD FOR YOU, FOOD as "junk food" because WHY??? Could it be that their legislators are BRIBED into the commission of TREASON TOO?!?
