PlAYING WITH YOUR FOOD?

It takes imagination, talent and the love of food to spend time creating these interesting looking examples of art.  I like radishes, but only to chop up for a salad! And when I munch an apple I might have made some interesting designs on it, but I wasn't in to making it look like a map of he world or a famous work of art.
So many people now days are on food stamps since 2006 the number has doubled......which is not good!
From the Heritage Foundation........A program called "means tested" benefits programs are second largest category of government spending.  The government spends more on these programs than public education and defense spending. WOW....programs such as Social Security, unemployment insurance, workers comp. and Veterans benefits not considered "means tested".
Clearly, this is a huge problem.  A country cannot survive if it's citizens are not willing or able to work.  In 35 states welfare pays better than an actual  job.  This is what is called an "incentive" and the US is incentivizing people not to work.  Why would a person actually get a job if they could be paid more to stay home?  In Pennsylvania, a single woman with children working a job that pays 28,000 a year actually receives 57,345 in total benefits when benefits are factored in .  Conversely, the woman were to work a job  for 69,000 a year, her net pay after taxes only 57,045!  I wonder where I can sign up for Obama's "freebees"?   These welfare people are eating better than many hard working, honest people.  What can we do?                                                                                                                                                                              Now this is way to pretty for the Stew Pot!!!!!!
