Do we need to rein in what they can buy?
Another chart:
Trading cases of soda for cash, then drugs.
“Do we need to rein in what they can buy?”
No, but the taxpayers should not be paying for it. The “N” in SNAP is for nutrition. There isn’t a pennies worth of nutrition in soft drinks.
The other thing that these leeches do is pay for their “groceries” with food stamps then roll out their cash for booze.
Muslim Woman Caught Buying Soda With Food Stamps To Sell In Her Store
This is why people at Walmart are so effin fat.
I see it everytime I go to Walmart.
Grocery carts filled with processed food and fat azz people with skin palor that is gross.
And they spends hundreds at the checkout.
They could eat way more food, that would be healthy and still be a bit overweight, instead of being porcine pinnipeds.
If they can’t buy booze and cigarettes on Food Stamps, then they shouldn’t be allowed to purchase these really disgusting foods.
Besides, this should really should have been addressed in ObamaCare as well, to reduce medical expenses.
I know a retired surgeon who muses how it would have been more lucrative to have gone into the flavored sugar-water business.
Soft drinks should NOT be eligible for food stamps.
How the heck is “eggs/muffins/potatoes” a category? Federal government logic, I suppose...
When I was on EBT, I always bought simple, basic food. Eggs, unsalted butter, cottage cheese, hard cheese (cheddar, swiss, jack), ground beef, chicken thighs, pork chops, rye bread (hard tack), and powdered milk. My one treat was shucked oysters in small jars, never costing more than $4. Fresh fruit and vegetables.
No sugar or sugar based products. Nothing containing corn syrup. The rye products were always pure rye, no wheat, as I am allergic to wheat.
As soon as my SS payments became regular, I stopped the EBT payments.
“Eggs/muffins/potatoes”?
What sort of category is that?
$200M in snacks. And $100M of packaged candy.
After looking at this list one realizes nobody needs this type of food. It is a grocery list for the lazy.
Big Corn and Big Sugar...................
Yep. But Nancy P will again claim that they have already cut the budget to the bone, and can’t cut any more.
Sodas, ice cream, cookies?
so unnecessary.
SNAP/EBT = Corporate + Individual Welfare
I’ve read that around 20% of Wal-Marts food sales are SNAP.
DRAIN THE SWAMP!!!
This is totally Un-American!
Bacon at #23?
Only when we are paying for it.
Expand the foods allowed on WIC a bit and let that be what they get on our dime.
Milk, juice, whole grain breads, cheese, no sugar cereal, tuna, beans, peanut butter is the current list I believe.
Add in some more meat ration such as a chicken and some ground beef and let it stand.
Why is it ok to restrict the buying of women but not ok to restrict the buying of men?
I am actually for ending wealth transfer programs such as this.
Let them go to the food banks - there they do not have all the crap items they can waste other peoples’ money on and still complain how bad they have it.
