Well, SNAP (aka food stamps) has been historically abused in order to buy mass amounts of baby food -- it apparently sells REALLY well on the black market -- so, yeah, I can see WIC being abused in this way. It was certainly an issue in the Katrina aftermath, when people were giving out cases of free baby food and diapers (same issue).I question whether those cans of formula are actually being used to feed their kids as opposed to winding up on the shelves of shiftily-managed bodegas"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.
