Since it is our taxes paying for this we should require the recipients to buy only good food...no junk food, and no cigarettes. We should watch how they spend their money. This is a topic that really gets me very angry. I was standing in line in a grocery store and the man in front of me had food stamps. He was buying soda, chips, all junk food.

It is not just the people who are getting food stamps. In my state there is a program for these so called poor people. They can have up to four children and our tax dollars pay for formula and the diapers. A lot of times it is teenagers using this program.

The house next door to me was owned by my great aunt. When she died she left it to my cousin. When he decided to sell it on his own. I made him an offer which he ignored for spite. He allowed this family to move in they got a loan from the bank through HUD. I know they get food stamps because they brag about it. That makes me so angry.

There are problems with the Indian population here. They are given a certain allowance by the provincial gov't each month so they can maintain a balanced diet. Unfortunately when we see them in our local grocery stores, their carts are filled with pop and chips and chocolate bars...and they're going to the liquor vendors alot. Finally the province has started to clamp down on them and aids are being hired to take them to the grocery stores to make certain they fill their shopping carts with the right foods.
