jan 5 2017 The U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to launch a two-year pilot program this summer with seven retailers to allow food stamp recipients the ability to purchase their groceries online.

More than 44 million Americans participated last year in federal government's low-income food assistance program, called SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Last year, the average benefit each person received was just over $125.50 per month.

"Online purchasing is a potential lifeline for SNAP participants living in urban neighborhoods and rural communities where access to healthy food choices can be limited," USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a release.

I WANT these welfare queens to be shamed when they buy their candy bars with my taxes. In fact big chains like walmart should have separate lanes where all SNAP purchases must be made.

SNAP should be limited to staple foods only. Bread, flour, beans, ground beef, chicken, milk, bulk yogurt...etc.

 

[WillowTree]

Will not last long. Cause if ya buy on line taxpayer gotta pay for delivery and tips? Really?

I wouldn't call ground beef or chicken staples, but otherwise yeah. If you live on rice and rolled oats with a little sugar added, you can feed yourself for under a dollar a day. Boring ? Yeah, but that's the idea. Get off welfare.,

You really are a despicable human being. And ignorant to boot.

Have you seen these "welfare queens" buying carts full of junk food? Did they look embarrassed?

And what about disabled people who get SNAP? What about senior citizens who use SNAP as the difference between survival and malnutrition? What about the disabled veterans who get SNAP? You want all those people to be humiliated too? Just because $10 of your taxes goes to feed them?

Its not about boring. It is about decent nutrition, especially for children. Do you really want malnurished kids just to save you a few dollars on your tax bill?? Why does it not bother you that you pay for so much waste and bullshit in Washington, but feeding poor kids is such an atrocity?

This does pretty well destroy any claims you have to this being a Christian nation.

HAHAHA. Here you go again with the CHILDREN!!! You think these welfare queens care about nutrition for their kids.??? They feed them nothing but junk food and a diet of cheap staples would be better for the kids. THINK

Nothing better than RC cola and Moon pies.....a Southern tradition...

When you give someone a birthday present of money, do you put limitations on what can be bought with the money?

Should we also "shame employers in Right to Work States" for any homelessness?

I want the parents that produced the kids to support their own like they should be doing.

I don't like the waste in Washington, either. What makes you think it doesn't bother us?

It's not my responsibility, nor will it ever be, to do something for someone that their own parents won't do. By the way, it's not about the amount if that's what you think. It's about those who are responsible for doing so actually doing so.

Not the same. If you think a gift given willfully and something handed to someone another group was forced to fund is the same, we need to have a lesson on that before we can have a lesson on why freeloaders shouldn't be able to buy chips, sodas, and candy bars with money someone else earned.
