Years ago, my husband left me and my daughter, and to get on my feet, I had to go on welfare. But I was working. They just supplemented me with a small check and food stamps.
When I was putting things on the belt, a guy from behind me said, "I'm paying for all that!"
I turned and said, "I beg your pardon?"
And he repeated the "I'm paying for that! You're sucking off my tax dollars and I end up paying for all that."
I told the jerk that I'm only getting my taxes back in the form of food stamps. and he said, "Oh you WORK?"
Some people watch everything you have in your cart and make judgements about you and your family.
I have a friend who has had a kidney transplant. The antirejection drugs made her gain a lot of water weight. She used to be average sized but the extra water made her look bloated. She was just grateful to be alive without dialisis.
Some insensitive jerk told her if she would stop eating all that junk she had in her cart, she wouldn't be so fat! GRRRRRR

It's nice that the food police DO like some of the things we approve of, isn't it?
