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 is the point of food stamps if it’s just for ‘real food?’” Moore asked.

SNAP, sometimes called “food stamps,” is a program run through the Department of Agriculture (USDA) in conjunction with the states intended to bolster the grocery budget of low-income families to allow them to purchase “nutritious food essential to health and well-being.” As of Tuesday, 18 states have received waivers to prohibit the use of SNAP benefits for junk food, according to the USDA web site.
“That’s not even cool, like why they do that?” Moore told Kipper, later adding, “I don’t know what Trump is doing or what is going on.”
Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has sought to remove sugary drinks, including sodas, from SNAP, The Wall Street Journal reported. Kennedy has sought to address a rising chronic disease rate that affects roughly three in five Americans as part of a Make America Healthy Again movement, which is often referred to as MAHA.
“Thank God I don’t got kids, but the people out there with kids are not going to be cool,” Moore told Kipper, adding that she worried about whether parents would be able to purchase snacks their kids liked to eat.
During the federal government shutdown in October and November, some federal district judges ordered the Trump administration to tap into contingency funds to maintain SNAP benefits. The Supreme Court overturned those orders Nov. 8, shortly before an agreement was reached to end the shutdown.
In a Dec. 3 news report, a woman complained about new work requirements for able-bodied adults up to age 64 in order to maintain eligibility to receive SNAP benefits that were enacted as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that President Donald Trump signed into law in July.

I think SNAP recipients should be allowed to only purchase junk food and sugar laden beverages, real food should not be covered. I would prefer a little less longevity amongst the beggar class.
“Thank God I don’t got kids...”
Yes, thank God indeed.........now about those eyebrows.
“The stupid is strong with this one...............”
And... she votes.
She needs her bags of Fudge-Rounds. :P
I’m not sure, but they look PERMANENT. Tattooed on............By Groucho............
And the eyelashes! What’s up with this “fashion” trend?
I was thinking more of peel-n-stick 😏
What the hell is she doing on SNAP?
We have ‘Permanent Makeup’ parlors here, essentially tattoo places with better dressed clientele...........and artists...........
There are more grifters and leeches and parasites than you can possibly imagine, and their sense of entitlement is unlimited. It's why the government shouldn't be doing most of what it does.
And the little children in Africa are starving to death because this SNAPPER is piggin’ out on all the food.
The very definition of *ingrate*.
That’s a point, but that’ll put a great burden on the healthcare system as they deal with high blood pressure and diabetes.
Yes Food Stamp isn’t ment to be treats program.
I’d have to turn in my Call of Duty ID if I let a WoWer slide. Don’t cast a spell on me, bro.
America: the only country where the poor, living on assistance, are obese.
3 MREs per person per day.

Ha ! I'll bet she's got those really long UGLY pointed nails too......
SNAP should be used JUST for what it originally was intended in my opinion. Many are not on SNAP that maybe could be & we would normally spend very little on junk food...depending on what your definition of that is.
