If you want cookies, you can still bake cookies with staples you buy like sugar, flour, butter, etc. It's cheaper to bake cookies than buy them generally. No one NEEDS Twinkies and snack cakes, chips, soda and candy. Sorry, but you don't NEED those items. If you're on welfare, get food stamps, you shouldn't be buying luxary goods.

If people can't buy the luxary goods, maybe there'd be more incentive to get off the welfare programs and on their own two feet.

I understand some folks fall on hard times, and need assistance. I'm all for folks getting assistance they need. But again, no one needs luxary goods like candy and chips.

Times are hard, and these "standards" are complete bs.... I know a person who drives a Ferrari BUT still gets $900 in food stamps. You can lie your BUT off to get through them though, it will bite you in the ARSE when you get caught though...
