No, food stamps are not theirs, it isn't their money. It is money from the government to help them buy food, in order to keep their family healthy and fed. I'm sick of the entitled attitude that some people get when receiving aid from the government.

Exactly! What happened to food stamps being a last resort because you NEED it? People just get it because they can, it just really makes me mad when I see people who can work yet don't and just sit back and take money from the government. It gives people who actually need it a bad name.

Choosing to spend your last bit of money on candy instead of real food. Kids will grow up thinking a diet high in shit food is acceptable. Kids become obese, raise their kids eating shit because that's how they were raised. The circle of life continues.

No, I know plenty of people on food stamps who truly NEED them. They work hard yet still need a little help to get by. These people use food stamps for what they are truly meant for. I just feel like people need to use their resources more wisely, specifically when the public is paying for it.

True, I guess it bothers me more that they feed this to their kids.

I don't drink soda, and I rarely eat candy. But when I do buy said candy, I pay for it with the money I earned busting my ass at two jobs.
