Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. - TWuG Jun 7, 16:11 16
- I saw a chick buy Red Bull with her food stamps. Clearly she ain't hurting -- nm - Redmond Jun 7, 16:12 15
  - We don't allow Red Bull to be sold on food stamps in our establishment, because we don't consider it a food product. - Jelly Jun 7, 16:47
  - I'm sure you saw it on B2, but I'll repeat: The facts are at odds with your preconceived notions. - TWuG Jun 7, 16:18 9
    - Or demand my tax dollars are spent better. Make food stamps not available for things like Red Bull, and Big Macs, and force people to spend the - Redmond Jun 7, 16:20 8
      - theyre' already not available for big macs. -- nm - loosilu Jun 7, 16:22 1
        
        They aren't? America is full of heartless bitches!!! Just because you are poor doesn't mean you should'nt enjoy a juicy Big Mac. I am ashamed. - Redmond Jun 7, 16:24
      - They shouldn't be food stamps. They should be vegetable stamps, dairy product stamps, and non-red meat stamps. -- nm - mara Jun 7, 16:22 5

        I've often thought this myself, for what it's worth. They go through all the truoble of revamping the "food pyramid" -- why not base the food stamps - mara Jun 7, 16:23 2
        
        since the food pyramid is a load of shit influenced by agricultural lobbies, let's hope not. -- nm - loosilu Jun 7, 16:24 1
        
        OMG!! We agree on something. Yes, it's based on agriculture lobbyists. Remember when eggs (because of cholesterol) - Redmond Jun 7, 16:28
  - Well, that's not exactly the conclusion you reach there. - Will Hunting Jun 7, 16:18
  - yeah, that stuff is like $25 a can. -- nm - loosilu Jun 7, 16:13 2
    - Red Bull is one of the major food groups. It's a stable of the human diet. How dare I deny all those important vitamins and minerals. *rolls eyes* -- nm - Redmond Jun 7, 16:16 1
      - staple -- nm - Redmond Jun 7, 16:17
assuming that's all it takes, you're still leaving out the time factor. You are putting requirements on other people that I bet you oculdn't possibly - loosilu Jun 7, 16:09 1
- I would cook something relatively healthy every night if I had the time. I generally don't. -- nm - Tim Jun 7, 16:10
