This is in response to the article I saw in the Sun Journal July 14 about the local farmers market and its promotion for people receiving state assistance — for every $10 spent on fruits and vegetables, they get $10 worth free.

My problem with that is that those people get state assistance, meaning they already receive free food.

Why not give $10 worth of free veggies to taxpayers? That, or have those people use $10 of their own food stamps?
