One of my pet peeves is being in line at the grocery store behind someone who is on foodstamps. I don't begrudge people who temporarily need a helping hand -- though I do question whether the government is the one in the best position to help effectively -- but what consistently amazes me is the absolute rubbish that people on foodstamps are invariably buying. Whether it's some high sugar faux juice or an extra large pack of Cheetoh's, you just have to ask, "Um, if you have found yourself in this position in life, do you think that perhaps you should be buying milk, eggs, bread and other staple foods?"
So, this morning I was in line behind someone this morning who was using foodstamps to buy Red Bull. Come on!
As an interesting aside: apparently Kansas foodstamps will not cover a four-pack of Red Bull but they can be used to buy single cans. Good job, government. Way to go.
