Yes, I do believe that people would be just as upset if she was white, blue, pink or yellow. The facts are that there are some people on welfare that take advantage of it. That is what gets people so upset. Especially when some are struggling and are just over the line for assistance or donot want assistance and make it by struggling. I also agree that there is no way she shouldn't be able to do it on $280.00 Plus the 65.00. Remember this is just food. It does not count anything else so I am only basing it on food at this point. I feed two of us all week and four kids 3 times a week and I spend less than that. and now I feed a baby part time when I watch her. She barely eats table food yet. If you coupon and watch sales then you can eat for less. Especially if it is just her that is eating the main meals. I can make a lasagna for less than $20.00. That would feed her for at least 6 or 8 meals. She could freeze a little of it. True fresh veggies are pricey. Frozen is cheaper and is better than nothing. I think it is great that she is going to school to better herself but she also needs to think of ways to better budget that food bill cuz I really do think if she was paying cash for all of it, she would figure out a way.
