2. This is WIC list

I believe this is standard.
Hey no Fruit Loops allowed, not such a bad thing.
I don't agree with no Organics but that is due to the cost.
It's hell for cashiers.

Regular snap does not have these restrictions. Fruit loops and coke allowed.

6. That's the WIC list, food for women, infants, and children.

7. Those sound more like federal guidelines that state requirements.

8. only thing I have exception with is organic ban, basic brown eggs & white potatoes? prohibited.

I guess because organic is so much more expensive compared with basic.

good to see the focus on 100%, no sugars added juices and baby cereals.

9. Shaming those in need is probably the most morally bankrupt move out of Wisconsin.

It is rude and demeaning, just as it was intended.

10. GOP belief: If you kick a downed man enough he will get up

Not sure it works that way. If you drive the poor out of the mainstream they stay out of it.
