Yes, the welfare debit card allows for coke and pork rinds in Illinois. I chalk it up to the powerful snack food lobbies.

If you are speaking of “food stamps” then I would agree in part. I dont think stuff like sugary soft drinks and junk food should be included. But the minute you try to establish any guidelines, the Food Police cry will be heard loud and clear. See Sarah Palin.

As for baby formula, are you just as concerned that YOUR money goes to subsidize Big Agri/business and Big Pharma and that big corporations like Exxon pay no US federal income tax?
