S.S.D.D.

The other day, I made a trip to Clay. On the way home, I stopped at GoMart. The lady in front of me was buying a pack of cigarettets (~$5) & an order of pasta salad "for her lunch" ($2.77). When she found out the EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) machine wasn't working, instead of putting back the cigarettes, she returned the pasta salad & used her cash to pay for the cigarettes.

We don't have an obesity problem in this country - we have a priority problem.
