This Is Why They're Taking Our Hard-Earned Money


  • fresh produce, raw honey and fresh-squeezed

  • juices soy meat alternatives and gourmet ice cream

  • roasted rabbit with butter, tarragon and sweet potatoes

  • wild-caught fish, organic asparagus and triple-crème cheese

  • artisanal bread, heirloom tomatoes and grass-fed beef


No, it's not a Hollywood diet plan. It's what food stamps are buying these days.


I guess the so-called educated hipsters mentioned in the article aren't educated enough to realize that while they're enjoying a small quantity of expensive gourment food, there might be some people working really hard to afford ramen and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches because they want to stay off the dole.

Goverment benefits are way too anonymous. People receiving welfare, food stamps, etc., that are able-bodied should have to collect the money from an assigned taxpayer directly. Then this might not occur as much.

That's a good point, but allow me to offer this counter-point: artisanal breads and heirloom tomatoes are quite tasty.
