Limit the food that can be purchased -- Stimp 12/05/2017 2:15PM Such an obviously good idea, yet seemingly unachievable. -- Joey Wahoo 12/05/2017 10:20PM Make em shop at Aldis. End of problem. -- GoochlandHoo 12/05/2017 2:28PM Aldi is awesome. Same owners as Trader Joe’s. Between those 2 stores -- HoozOnTop 12/05/2017 5:00PM Aldi is great! I wish there was one closer to me.

Steaks OK. Eggs, $ -- GoochlandHoo 12/05/2017 2:54PM Wait, what?? -- wahoo138 12/05/2017 2:29PM Better yet, get the government out of the charity business. ** -- Hokie5150 12/05/2017 2:26PM I'm a believer in the program, but it's way too expansive -- Stimp 12/05/2017 2:34PM It is virtually impossible to spend money like that wisely at the -- Hokie5150 12/05/2017 6:20PM Let's say the government identifies a drug user -- Faz d.

Is someone prohibited from buying anything -- WahooRQ 12/05/2017 4:07PM I don't necessarily agree with drug testing, but I think the logic is that -- BocaHoo91 12/05/2017 4:30PM We've already drawn the line ... I don't have to agree with exactly how it -- CharlestonSC 12/05/2017 4:11PM Is that the purpose of the food stamp program? -- wahoo138 12/05/2017 2:31PM In general... -- Fuzzy Dunlop 12/05/2017 2:26PM You get food stamps by being below a certain income level, not -- KCHoo 12/05/2017 2:24PM The question to arises, though, are people unable to be more -- Hokie5150 12/05/2017 2:49PM So that settles it.

Hoo 12/06/2017 09:45AM Yes, that's exactly what I said...smh. ** -- Hokie5150 12/05/2017 3:49PM It is because she doesnt want to or because she is an addict and now -- THECZAR 12/05/2017 2:57PM It's some of both.

Not just for the reasons you cite but also -- Hoodafan 12/05/2017 2:07PM Nail on the head in your first paragraph -- wahoo138 12/05/2017 2:12PM You won that bet.
