I think WIC varies from state to state. My experience with WIC (yes indeed, WIC recipients we were with our first kid) was quite different, we were allowed Formula/Milk (before/after a certain age), whole grain cereals (cheerios, mueslix-type), eggs by the dozen; we could get real cheeses (cheddar and mozzy and other block-type stuff) up to a certain dollar value, so not Kraft, but we could get store-brand (FWIW Velveeta and single-serving type cheeses were off limits). Additionally we had a fresh vegetables and fruit allowance on the program. We could get melons and tomatoes and spinach and stuff, though, oddly, not lettuce (probably a simple calculation of nutritional value). Oh and peanut butter. Scads of peanut butter. there was WIC peanut butter in our pantry for a looooooong time after we were off the program. basically we got a medium-sized jar every two weeks. that's a lot of damn peanut butter... -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:214717 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
