Truth has become stranger than fiction.
Food assistance has become warped through political prostitution. I would be willing to bet that 50% of EBT food purchases are junk food and that is what folks who work in groceries have said.
This is a curse for many reasons, but the worst is that we also pay for their health care. As long as the big agricultural and retail companies pay off the politicians this madness will continue.
I was at a Carl’s Jr. this afternoon and saw a sign posted near the register, “EBT Now Being Accepted.”
