I have a problem with EBT at any kind of restaurant.

Given that taxpayers are footing the bill, they should be preparing cheap food at home!

True.

My Mom took food stamps after divorcing, for two years.

We always had steak, pork chops and Sunday fried chicken. She never bought any boxed food except for oatmeal, cream o wheat, cheers and corn flakes. if you wanted sugar we weren’t allowed more than two teaspoons.

She marveled at how she could feed us and have guests but, moreover, we always had good food and at the end of the month, she gave her leftover food stamps to a family not even 1/2 the size of our family. there were 5 kids in our family and two in theirs

They couldn’t make it on the food stamps they were given.

My Mom, to this day, remarks how they never learned not to eat from a box .

Whole foods are cheaper and healthier.

They don’t need CrapDonalds. cept maybe the dollar chicken sandwich.... now I’m hungry
