SNAP Judgment
December 5, 2012 Posted by Jay Livingston
Mayor Booker’s decision to go on the SNAP diet has gotten a lot of coverage in the press. His hometown paper, the Star-Ledger, had him on the front page.
If this is really what the mayor bought with his food stamps, there’s one stereotype he’s not putting to rest – the Coastal elitist. Yes, he’s got the Goya garbanzos and frijoles, and he’s got the yams.
Makes me think of the arugula slip-up
ReplyDeleteOr Bush 41 never having seen a price scanner. But Obama was right -- Whole Foods does charge outrageous prices for arugula.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he was trying to indicate that you can actually do a lot within the food stamp allowance?
