I don't know where they get the figure of $29 though; pretty sure I got more than that during my "OH SNAP" moment.

I saw something about this on Reddit and the major gripe about what she showed off, was it's not sustainable as a diet. Sure maybe you could go a few weeks on it, but you would end up having problems as even though it looks health, there isn't enough vitamins or protean. Don't get too googoo eyes because she bought some green stuff..


Now my whole gripe with this kind of thing is food stamps aren't meant to fill someone's dinner table day after day, week after week or month after month. They are meant to supplement a persons grocery bill whom needs it, but not give it too them for free.

I don't really agree with the endless welfare system. I'm ok with it if a person is handicapped or elderly but in most other cases it needs to be seen as a temporary solution much like unemployment.
