“”””SNAP isn’t designed to feed people healthy food.
It’s designed to subsidize Walmart and the big grocery store chains.””””

How does it do that? Aren’t people still going to buy food and most shop for the best prices?

Go into the SNAP heavy ghettos. Few Walmart, few supermarkets. Many Quickie Marts.

In Atlanta a Fresh Market tried a store in Atlanta’s south food desert. It sold mostly fresh produce, fresh meat. Not many sugar/salt/highly processed foods. Those who lived in the area preferred the Quikie Mart. When others are paying, you don’t care the price. And sugar/salt/chocolate/beer are the 4 food groups.
