FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA — A soldier’s Facebook post comparing the meagre contents of his own buggie with those of a person using food stamps has sparked controversy. <br /> <br />Patrick Gibson snapped the photo at a grocery store in in Fayetteville, North Carolina last year. Gibson, who skips breakfast and lunch so his family can eat, was lining up to pay for fruit and diapers. <br /> <br />In front of him was a person with not one — but two — shopping carts bulging with what Gibson said was “steak and some other very nice choices of food.” <br /> <br />When the person took out their wallet to pay for their purchase, Gibson saw them move a big fold of cash to get to their electronic benefits card. Worse, after paying for his groceries, Gibson saw the person load their items into the back of a brand new Hyundai Genesis. <br /> <br />After the incident, Gibson posted a comparison of his groceries with theirs. The post has since been shared more than 140 thousand times.
