“yeah I saw it being used in whole foods on lobsters”

And lobsters are real food, so?

So, people who are so poor they need food stamps, should be buying foods that provided the most nutrition per dollar. In everywhere except Maine, lobster is a premium item, so why should someone getting freebies be spending half their week's food bill on one thing, instead of cheaper meat that provides three days of meals?

Food Stamps should be limited (besides just basic essentials) to only items under a certain limit - $5/lb or something like that.

Some old neighbors of ours invited us over for dinner. They had gotten way too much steak and lobster. The husband had found work and they were using up the last of their food stamps.

(He lasted about 4 months before he lost his job for stealing).
