WIC is different a it's geared towards pregnant women/mothers and infants up to the age of 5. The goal is to make sure low income women get the nutrition they need during this critical period
Food stamps don't really care about nutritional value hence the lack of guidelines other than limiting it to food items.
If folks are THAT concerned why not write your alderperson or congress person and complain instead of making comments on a messageboard that isn't going to change federal policies.
I guess I am more bothered by the abundance of ignorant comments made about poor folks. Perhaps someone should reach out the woman and offer to show her how you feed your family with less instead of belittling her. Just sad.
