and you beleived him iggs?
What happened is that one time somebody got their hands on a bunch of food stamps so they decided to cash em all in at once and get over the top expensive food. Your buddy saw this and, as so many people seem to do nowadays, extrapolate that behavior over the entire food stamp using population. In no way shape or form can you buy lobster weekly on food stamps. Wellfare fraud is the norm in this country so there are certainly people who are getting food stamps but don't actually qualify, so they can "augment" their food purchases on taxpayer dime. This is no way means that a person who "solely subsists" on food stamps can buy lobster all the time. He can maybe starve for a week then cash it all in at once, but whatever. Point is that people who aren't even on food stamps can't afford to shop at health food stores cause as of right now, demand is high and supply is low. This is changing....the food structure is going to slowly decentralize over the next 20 or so years, hopefully sooner, but as that happens you'll see "real" food becoming less expensive.
