Bad Service wanks about welfare and made-up statistics
ever_abstract makes a post to bad_service about a trip to the grocery store involving an incredibly obnoxious cashier-manager duo who give her a hard time about WIC.

This prompts starliteunicorn to tell the community that she thinks welfare is absolutely ridiculous. She goes on to inform us all:

I'm all for getting rid of it entirely. People used to help each OTHER out, instead of begging the government. And it bothers me. A lot. I don't get paid to just exsist-I have to work. I know some people CAN'T get jobs... but it seems extrodinarily unfair. Too many people leech off the welfare system without even ATTEMPTING to find work or get themselves to a better position. The stereotype of the drug addict mother to 6 different kids all with different daddies is true for about 65% of people coming through the various types of welfare (taken from a friend who does, indeed, work in a WIC office).

And it just snowballs from there.

	American Cheese kiiiinda scares me. The mozzarella type stuff is okay, but the orange kind is TERRIFYINGLY ORANGE. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	When cooking macaroni in Japan, I find I have to add a spoonful of sugar to my cheese or it just doesn't taste the same. Which pretty much tells you all you need to know about american cheese. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	On one hand, I've always been a little bothered that the type of cheese associated with my country is more properly a sort of cheez-food-product, bland and artificially colored and bearing more than a passing resemblance to soft plastic, usually sold as individually-wrapped squares that are all Exactly The Same. On the other hand, I have to admit that it fits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I've actually always been disquieted by the term "cheese food". I always felt like that was a sign that it was so unlike food somehow that they consciously added the word food to be all reassuring and "no, really, it is food, you can eat it, trust us!" Food so full of self-doubt about its nature that it must reassure others that it is food is food I can't trust. (Reply to this)(Parent)
