Why is KFC now taking poor peoples FOOD STAMPS...........................................?

KFC is a business to make money and food stamps are like money. Now if the person using their stamps on costly fast food hasn't any better sense ... let them they are the ones who will suffer in the end. It may even teach them to think twice before spending them foolishly. God gives us all a choice ... are we better than God? Ignorance is everywhere and attacks the wealthy as well as the poor.

All the fast food joints accept EBT cards. KFC was one of the last hold outs on it so don't bash them. Even the drug dealers get a share of the food stamp pie. Here's how it works - A corner store cashes in the money takes their cut, gives the rest to the recipient who goes around back and buys the dope. Kids go hungry because Mommy is high.

If people stop eating chicken, what are we gonna do with all this corn the government pays Red Staters to overproduce:

"That the $100-billion fast food industry rests on a foundation of corn has been known more through inference and observation than hard scientific fact — until now.

Chemical analysis from restaurants across the United States shows that nearly every cow or chicken used in fast food is raised on a diet of corn, prompting fresh criticism of the government’s role in subsidizing poor eating habits...

Corn is central to agriculture in the United States, where it is grown in greater volumes and receives more government subsidies than any other crop. Between 1995 and 2006 corn growers received $56 billion in federal subsidies, and the annual figure may soon hit $10 billion..."

A good friend of mine works at the Food Stamp Office here in Florida...and the first answerer is incorrect. People cannot use Food Stamps to buy fast food in Florida.

Oh, yeah, baby! Potatoes and cabbage is all the poor should get! Never mind that KFC, like a lot of businesses are suffering from neo-con phantom economics! KFC just trying to ride out the storm!

One on that link actually wrote:

"It's common here, Jack in the Box, churches, little fried fish markets they all take EBT. It's mostly in the hood though smdh"

I don't know where people get this "it's been going on for years" business. I live in GA and have never heard of it.

You are exactly right.

Im in school right now, but last summer I worked at a grocery store and you wouldnt believe how much junk food people buy on foodstamps.

They can buy

energy drinks,

chips,

soda,

candy,

dougnuts,

protein shakes,

Gormet ice cream,

and everything in between.

Im all for people that are actually in need of welfare buy the necessities like bread, eggs, milk, soup, that kind of stuff, but it drives me nuts seeing lazy people reach into taxpayer wallets for energy drinks, and junk food.

This is just another government-run system that needs to be drastically overhauled.

ever think they like to eat extra crispy chicken, My heavens the whole P.C. thing has went to far now people poor or not are dictated where they can and what they can eat.

next PETA will be yanking chicken wings out of their starving mouths

Un-healthy greasy food, and WIC is trying to ban people from buying potatoes in the grocery store, Makes no sense.

44 Million Americans (and rising every single day) are on food stamps and Pelosi claims they are getting the most bang for their buck then ever with food stamps. The left are killing jobs more then ever and smiling about it- now that is very concerning.
