The people I see in checkout lines using EBT cards (food stamps) are usually fat and their carts are loaded with fatty, ready made, non-nutritious foods. $5 Billion is about 7% cut in food stamps. Might improve health of the overweight people.

I see people here in checkout lines with their EBT cards too, shopping at Whole Foods with expensive meat and other products in their carts..right to their new Mercedes Benz in the parking lot. I see it all the time..these people are not poor, they are just cheating the system, just like all Dems do

“... their carts are loaded with fatty, ready made, non-nutritious foods.”

Given today's education levels, there's a good chance they don't know how to make rice or beans. Can openers might even be too much of a technological challenge.

Same here.

WalMart lobsters and so many 6 packs of soda they have them draped around the top of the shopping cart like saddlebags.

The “trains” of carts are what flip me out.

I can’t afford to fill *one* cart and they’re dragging 3 or 4 tied together.

Just cull the herd by 7% and you’re golden.

Walmart gets about 40+% of the EBT food dollar. You see the leeches there more than anywhere else. You WON’T usually see them there before 11AM. Getting up that early upsets them.

Cooking from real ingredients? Ain't nobody got time for that.
