(Not making this up, I actually read that.)They don't realize that some of these people don't know how to cook, or don't have the equipment to do so. I work in a grocery store and I know some of my foodstamp customers are basically homeless, or live in an area motel. What they are proposing adds work to the person who has to put the info into the computer (we already have to code in WIC items). It would be almost impossible. The people proposing this really have no clue.Sadie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277541674510077759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-73709358797853368082015-05-19T21:38:51.122-04:002015-05-19T21:38:51.122-04:00aren't the same GOP motherfuckers who planned...aren't the same GOP motherfuckers who planned this the very same dudes who decided a packet of ketchup counts as a vegetable serving when served to a student as part of the federally subsidized hot lunch program?<br /><br />someone who is allergic to cows' milk in WI needs to sue....<br /><br />xxalainaxx<br /><br />xxalainaxx<br /><br />mrs.missalaineushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542984504965262088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-89635758980469057702015-05-19T21:16:15.698-04:002015-05-19T21:16:15.698-04:00Baked beans, canned peas and green beans, spaghett...Baked beans, canned peas and green beans, spaghetti sauce? What the hellz? To ban alternate forms of "milk" is beyond evil, how many children can't drink dairy milk, and require these milks to be healthy?<br /><br />Its time for this country to rise up against the GOP machine and vote these lesser beings out of power!!! They hate everyone that isn't white, male, xtian and at the very least middle class, and forget about being LGBT, they want us outta here.

That's literally hobo food. Watch any movie set in the 1930's and you'll see hobos eating beans from the can while huddled around a trashcan fire. <br /><br />Also, they banned almond milk, soy milk, and goat milk. Looks like this bill was written by dairy farmer lobbyists. Throwing a bone to big agri-business and screwing over poor people - that's killing 2 birds with one stone!Professor Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983291640844939759noreply@blogger.com
