Where did I say I was grounding any of this in a chain email? I started out objecting to someone's over-the-top skepticism that anyone has every bought a luxury food on foodstamps.

Are you saying there aren't pockets of near-permanent poverty in America that depend on social spending? Nice, didn't know that was patched up.

I guess I don't find referencing research in response to cultural tropes to be "over-the-top skepticism".

Have a good day.

Neither do I, which is why I never applied the appellation "over-the-top skepticism" to "referencing research"; it was applied to the commenter's ridicule of an account of someone buying a luxury food with foodstamps.

Is there a reason you thought my appellation was being applied to something else?
