If that is the case, what nutritional value does a $700 wedding cake have for this woman's children? I watch on a daily basis as things such as cakes, sub sandwiches, junk food, soda are puchased in large quatities using the EBT - food stamp program. Customers use the EBT to purchase food, then turn around and pretend to lose their receipts and return the food items for cash to purchase alcohol and tobacco. Just wanted to mention these concerns - too many of our kids are going hungry so their parents to party on the states expense.
