Feds: Georgia can’t tie food stamps to drug tests

4 seems a bit crazy to me. I could see limiting how much money for food stamps could be used to buy junk food (maybe say $50 a month) or having food stamps be actually stamps that pay for specific items (gallon of milk, dozen eggs, etc.), but I don't think food stamps should exclude people who eat unhealthy. There's a difference between testing someone for coke and testing someone for Coke.

@whipassmt: To me it's not about eating unhealthy, it's about me being able to cook for myself, my wife and her parents with the cost of a menu at Mc Donalds (therefore wasting a lot of money) but I realise that in the US that's not the case and fast food there being dirt cheap.

Also, very witty last sentence; well done =P

@korvus:

I made most of that post for the sake of that last sentence, I had to reword it a few times to make it better. I considered saying "using coke" but then realized it I did that, then "using" wouldn't really apply in that sense to Coke (it would probably go along the lines of "using coke...drinking Coke" but then i'd be using different verbs.

McDonald's is expensive in the Netherlands?

In the U.S. it depends on what you order, if you get a main sandwich (Big Mac or something like that ) it could cost $5 just for the sandwich. But if you order of the "dollar and more" menu, you could get a sandwich for as little as $1.

@whipassmt: Haha, I thought you did =D Still, well done. Well, compared to Portugal yeah, McD is expensive here, but the food is cheaper, so comparing the 2 I can get a whole lot of food for the price of a menu, especially since there's always so many products with 50% discount or "2nd for free" and the products with discount cycle, so if you choose what you buy properly you can get a full cart for almost nothing...
