A Missouri woman on Thursday receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds complained about only being able to buy "real food" with the program, according to St. Louis TV station KMOV.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced Wednesday the approval of a waiver request from Missouri and five other states to restrict the purchase of candy, sugar-sweetened drinks and other items after Oct. 1, 2026. Hannah Moore complained to KMOV reporter John Kipper in a story that the restrictions were "not even cool."

What’s not fair is me buying her food.
What snap does is pay for the recipients’ tattoos, dog food, beer, weed, and scratch off lotto tickets. If they don’t have to pay for their food they can spend their money on important things
if only
I kind of think they should be allowed to buy booze and cigs and junk with welfare.
Hopefully they’d die sooner.
I so don’t care at this point.
Is there some medium of exchange that can be used to buy whatever you like?
A Ghettopotamus too lazy to feed herself.
Change how you eat.
I have a friend who went to a foodbank in Canada and apparently they were giving out Keurig cups.
Of course a fat ungrateful melanated breeder. So sick of this and paying my taxes to feed these beasts.
I have paid 25% of my income For the last 50 years in taxes so that these stupid worthless bastards Can live off my dime. From the looks of things They drive newer vehicles than I do. That woman can afford All that bling, earbuds and a nice car And doesn’t do a damn thing for them.
The only good news in this is she doesn’t have kids Yet. There might be hope she dies childless And the world would be a better place if she did.
I may not wish for her death but I would not be disturbed by her obituary. I am tired of these Ungrateful leeches
Fake Food will do that.
We all want to use that unmentionable word....
My first hourly job was at a supermarket in the early 1980's. I saw all the grift even back then.
At the time, SNAP was "food coupons," the actually paper "food stamps" that we still call it. Any odd-cent purchase was given coinage change. $19.05, and they got $.95 back in real money.
One of the games the grifters played was buying something real cheap, multiple times in different transactions, and using the accumulated change to buy cigarettes. It infuriated us at the store, but couldn't really do anything about it.
Oh, and we usually carried their ill-gotten groceries to their late-model Cadillacs in the parking lot.
