In addition, a specified list of "approved" foods needs to be enforced as to curb those who abuse food stamps and buy items that are not "necessities."

The government is has been spraying our skies with aluminum and barium particles for the last six years. The reason they give for doing this is to reflect the sun away from the earth to help with global warming. But the aluminum is toxic and what goes up must come down.
