Bologna and hot dogs are crap. They can buy raw chicken when it's on sale for $1.99/lb and cook it themselves. Better food, better nutrition.
Why do they hand out cash anyway? If a family gets say $300/month in food stamps, why don't they have something like $75 voucher for meat/seafood; $75 for dairy/eggs; $75 for fruits/veggies, etc. and list what is included as "meat" or "dairy" or "fruit/veggies". (I'm just randomly throwing out numbers here)
I used to work check out at a grocery store and I remember that WIC folks could only buy certain items with their 'WIC' cash/card. That's changed I take it?
1.99 a pound is still about 3x as expensive as a pound of hot dogs. That means something to people who have multiple mouths to feed.
Hot dogs aren't considered unhealthy junk to you?
If she's buying 60 cent a pound hot dogs, they are most definately junk. I don't buy anything but all beef ball barks and don't think anyone else should settle for garbage simply b/c they are on food stamps.
