All it shows is that the person in front of you in line is a bad shopper.



No, Harry. like i said, no one 'forced' her to buy all that junk food and pass up healthier alternatives, however, it probably is more convenient for her to do so while spending government money that she receives for living on the dole. After all. her (and probably her kids) health wouldn't be an issue either, seeing she (and probably her family) are eligible for *free* (to them) government health care as well.





She is a bad shopper.

OK, lets say you have the benefit of the doubt? and so who encourages the *bad shopping* habits? is it her 'bad' sweet tooth'? or maybe the 'bad' WIC card she uses to support her 'bad' shopping habits, because they 'll pay for junk as well as helthier foods- or maybe knowing that the government allows her to be a poor steward of the allotment she evidently is 'entitled' too?

I don't agree with the notion that being 'poor' or receiving gov't assistance forces people into an unhealthy lifestyle, especially when it comes down to nutrition.
