Featured Food Stamps: $1.3 Billion Spent on Junk Food, Soft Drinks, Says Study

Since he doesn't do it without his public ministry, plus he didn't feed #everybody# when he was on earth in body, who really knows?

anyway, would he feed them potato chips and cup cakes with Kool Aid to wash it all down?

 

Yeah, Ann, not everybody can cook, and not everyone can learn to cook from scratch even with a full kitchen. I think there is a huge obesity problem with Americans, and it's especially worse with people on food stamps but this system is ripe with fraud other than recipients buying the wrong food - start there, not with the menu.

That's because she came off as a hypocrite with the "Move" for poor public school students while her children were in that tony private school. Even the poor kids trashed that menu.

 

Alcott seeing he turn the water into wine after the party was humming who knows about the chips and sweets.

Carpro have you ever shared food with someone who was hungry?

I think all of us should try to eat a healthy diet. So, I assume you supported Michelle Obama's effort to get junk foods out of the schools, right?

 

Supported the concept; execution of the concept was stupid.

You don't force addicts to go cold turkey.

 

Case-in-point!! One Christmas a fellow I knew gave his secretary a couple of hundred $ so she & husband could make sure their kids (two, IIRC) could have a good Christmas.

He later learned that the couple had spent the money on a restaurant that they could never have afforded, with the leftover going to the kids.

He told me that that he would never do that again.

Moral:
1 You earn the money, you hoard it or throw it out the car window as you drive through a poor neighborhood! It's yours to do with as YOU see fit.
2 You give money to someone with the understanding that it is for a SPECIFIC purpose, then they spend as required, or give it back!
3 Whether they get anymore $, depends on how they handled the last!

Should be the same with all aspects of welfare!!

 

Do you advocate that your children/grandchildren or those in your church attend public schools or private schools?

 

His point was people on food stamps spend 2.8% MORE than the national average on junk food. Can you read and understand?

 

What would you have done differently since you support the idea?

 

Careful how you word that one. 2.8 is 14% of 20, so they spent 14% more on snacks.

It's 2.8% more of their total budget.

Or am I wrong? Not a math major.

 

Since they are both percentages derived from the same number, they can be directly compared as percentages.

Yeah, dealing with percentages and not raw dollar amounts is making my brain hurt.

So if a NATO ally increased defense spending from from 2% of GDP to 3% of GDP, would the reporters say they increased spending by 1%, or by 50%?

 

Both would be true, but would need to be qualified.

Defense spending increased by 50%. Suppose that GDP was $10 trillion. 2% of $10 trillion is $200 billion. 3% of $10 trillion is $300 billion. Defense spending increased $100 billion. That is a 50% increase in defense spending

As a percent of GDP, defense spending increased by 1% of GDP. (100 billion is 1% of $10 trillion.)

You really don't understand do you?
