Cut food stamps period and add them to WIC rolls. It should only be for certain foods and up to a certain age.

According to the WIC website, WIC supports 53% of all infants born in the USA. Are we really to believe that 53% of infants actually have medically based nutritional risk & are at serious risk of their parents no longer feeding them formula because it isn't subsidized? I call BS on the claim that 53% of mothers can't find an extra $12/wk in their budget & would choose to feed their baby something else instead of formula. Some mothers would do this, but not half the mothers in the country. It states that 53% of all infants born in the USA - not 53% of all mothers. I'm guessing that many of those WIC babies have WIC siblings.
