Hmm, going with an Arabic or Persian name could be fun.
it then starts arbitrarily defining food items as junk food
say what you want about organic milk, it isn't junk food, neither are brown eggs
Edit: "Specifically, the amended program would allow only a third of an individual's FoodShare benefits to be spent on a full range of food as they currently can be. The remaining two-thirds would be subject to the same restrictions as the federal Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutritional program, with some small modifications. (Both programs, of course, bar restaurant food, cigarettes, alcohol, and pet foods.)"
It's an open beta.
Really looking forward to higher level wizard in NWN. I'm about to hit 30 and outside of a few boss fights I don't really do much controlling in groups. I love playing classes where their worth isn't "how much dps/healing are you doing". Sadly most mmo's don't do this well.

My guess is that all these "banned" milks are more expensive than the "allowed" kinds. So from that point of view it kinda makes sense to count them as "luxury" items and ban people on food stamps from buying them.
Of course it makes a lot less sense knowing they are state-produced foods and therefore you're hurting your own state by forbidding their sale. And even less so when you take into account that they're not banning people buying soda, junk food, fast food, alcohol, cigarettes, or instant lottery tickets.
What I'm saying is that there was at least a shadow of a seed of a core of a good idea, before Republican horribleness killed it, burned it, peed on its ashes, reconstituted the ashes into the original seed, revived it with lightning, then killed it, burned it, and peed on its ashes again.
I felt that way for a while.
Then I tried to live on 20 bucks a month for groceries.
Now I use food stamps.
The trick is that the more screens you have, the better at programming you are.
Around here brown eggs are about 3 times the price of regular eggs.
That's kind of eggstravagant for people on a budget, isn't it?

As a fellow drupal guy...
you spend a lot of time converting strings into integers or vice versa, or checking for null state before checking for something else...
there are a lot of extra silly steps in PHP.
But I get paid.
if you get to a point where it asks you about a beta key try something else
I had to switch browsers for it because I couldn't figure out what sites Noscript and adblock were blocking to make it work

It doesn't make sense at all unless you believe in the protestant work ethic.
Might as well limit food stamps to only store brands if we are concerned by how much food costs.
calling IT now
A complex set of regulations on when you can accept food stamps that carries prison time i you don't adhere to it? This won't possibly disincentivize small grocery stores in poor neighborhoods like the one I live in from accepting food stamps
All those government cheese jokes? It's not a fucking joke. That shit was amazing. Imagine a cheese with a very mild cheddar taste, softer than actual cheddar, firmer than velveeta. It was truly ambrosia. It almost made the tin taste of canned orange juice bearable.
in the US, we have two common forms of food assistance
there's WIC - Women, Infants, and Children - which comes in the form of vouchers that you use on specific staple food products. So you get a coupon that says "good for one gallon of milk" and your state defines what kind of milk is permissible. So, yeah, they restrict organic milk because it's expensive.
then there's SNAP, aka TANF, aka food stamps. This comes in the form of a debit card with a monetary balance that you can use to pay for food items at any grocery store; there's no restriction on the food items you can buy.
It looks like what Wisconsin is doing is taking the WIC restrictions and applying them to SNAP.

That's not a puppy. Organichu has snuck into your office. Quit letting him put his nose in your crotch. Call the police.
I don't know where you live, but brown eggs are only slightly more expensive here
To me this law has a few primary goals:
-Empower larger grocery retailers who already accept WIC
-Put tiny corner stores at a disadvantage, who do not accept WIC already
-Poor-shame the poors by having such a complex list that more people end up at the register with a balance leftover after swiping their Foodshare card and have to have it explained why their food doesn't count as food
It's like saying "You have to pay twice the toll on the highway because your hair is red."
Fucking gingers.
Eggs can even be spotted.
They dress and speak like the 60s and 70s archetypes in many ways
Like this one girl's posts start by praising someone or some event and then decay into unstructured single words, usually some combination of love, peace, gratitude, etc.
I don't know why it raises my hackles. Something about self-righteousness maybe? The lack of sophistication of the concepts being presented in a facile way as though they are some great revelation? The privilege of having a nomadic lifestyle be a phase or an experiment instead of a necessity?

Yeah. Like someone said earlier, it started with the core of a decent/ok idea, and then kinda took it to a weird extreme.
beats me
I heard you got cancer and lost your hair.
Or maybe there was another reason.
Either way, I bought a wig for you.

"even" doesn't have any real meaning for non-integers
That's just brilliant.
this pun is eggscellent
Imagine a cheese, then forget everything you know about cheese. Now imagine wallpaper paste that tastes like whatever the color orange tastes like. That's government cheese.

speaking of that my mom sent me this a little bit ago in an email
that's the whole email
You must have had a different government cheese than me because government cheese was awesome, or you're terrible.
At my local grocer, the store brand large white eggs are 1.29 for a dozen, and the cheapest brown eggs are 2.99 / dozen.
The eggs I buy are usually 3.49-4.99 a dozen, because organic eggs are an actual noticable quality difference over non.
My take on organic is that it matters with proteins far more than it does with veggies; veggies benefit more from locally sourced and recently picked, along with regionally appropriate.
I guess what I am saying is Jersey corn and tomatoes are the best. Da bes. and they don't need to be organic.
