This statement is extremely offensive to me.
No salad, fresh fruit or squash, for me, eh?
Perhaps the government should issue bright neon t-shirts stamped
with an appropriate stigma slogan, that have to be worn while
in the check-out lane.
I rely on foods stamps versus community food banks, because)1
I am gluten-intolerant. 2: Most food items to be found in the food banks
are rank over-processed food. Canned soups are full of monosodium glutamate. I won't eat a five pound slab of Velveeta cheese food or ring bologna. Sorry.
I do buy & subsist on mostly
whole grain rice & beans, frozen veggies,
olive oil, & cheap frozen catfish nuggets.
Salt & pepper & garlic powder are a luxury you are telling me I don't deserve.
Well, that & the fresh food.
I haven't had a soft drink or a ding-dong or a potato chip in a long time,
nor do I want them.
I can just imagine how the Coca-Cola peoples are lining up their lobbyists
to fight this sort of action. They had big hissy fits about their products
being taken out of the public schools.
