What I Was Able to Buy With Food Stamps.
Or: Why can't the poor just eat fucking bootstraps?!
The entire premise of this article is undiluted hogwash. It doesn't matter if one can buy luxury items with food stamps. The people who need their food stamp allotments to last an entire month—the people who aren't "non-poor college students who are gaming the system"—can't and don't use food stamps to purchase one extravagant meal and a bunch of candy.
But even if they did, it's no one else's business.
My rights end where yours begin. Look into it, buddy.
