    OMG

    They are not being FORCED to eat crap. They are not 'being fed', they are deliberately avoiding the brown rice, beans, and vegetables and water (all dirt cheap) in favour of high cost high caloric and 'easy' foods like meat, cheese, and soda.

    You think the van is going to make them choose brown rice and vegetables? They'll just buy the supermarket version of soup cans.

    In the 21st century, not the late 16th where conservatives seem to reside:

    "We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.ā€

    At least they'll have the choice, The "corner store" doesn't have it at all.

    And how do you know what they will buy? My understanding is that all the traditional dishes of just about any ethnic group lean heavily to cheap vegetables

    Do away with the Protestant work ethic. Its time is done.

    Working for a living, as a requirement, is a thing of the past. We just have not gotten that yet.

    We will...one way or the other.

    The problem there is that one other solution is to kill off about 95% of us.

    A quick fix I find more and more conservatives favoring, (some libs too, but not nearly as many and certainly not as enthusiastically. )

    When kids are hungry, it's often cutting back on alcohol or drugs.

    Well they will still be able to buy the cans at 1/2 the price of the bodega/7-11 etc. Hell my wife eats frosted flakes 1/2 the mornings, and she ignores me when I tell her she is eating poison, But at least they will be able to buy a gal of milk for $3 instead of a 1/2 for $4. all the inner city stores offer is empty calories. the supermarket at least give the opportunity to easily buy fresher more nutritious food. My idea at least gives them the opportunity to do so.

    You seem to have a much more negative view of people on assistance than I do. While many are free-loaders I think the most just like us want the best for their kids.

    Well of course they do.....and they want to do it with free scammed taxpayer's money! They take your $4-5-600 dollars a month, spend it on their fat asses and then they have an extra $4-5-600 for Nexflix, iphones, big screen Tv's and eating out. Wake the hell up.

    Frank, if you have any extra seeds so I can plant one of those free money trees in my backyard like you have, could you send them my way? I'd really like to turn into a lazy fatass that does nothing but expects everything given to me for free.

    Not to forget waste.
    My wife and myself play bingo.
    We have noticed over the years not to go right after the first of the month,
    because everyone with their welfare checks are there and the place is jammed,
    reducing your chances of winning.

    I have some magic beans, but I want real money for them.
    Or food stamps.

    Claims made with no back up. The pattern continues.
