I see more EBT cards used in gas stations than at grocery stores. They live on junk food bought at 50% higher prices from a quickie mart. Meanwhile there are hardworking mexicans, southeast asians, and africans working 70+ hours per week and buying staples in bulk from various ethnic markets at very low prices. They eat very very well for not much money.
I’ve been saying for years food stamps need to be limited to what you can buy. I think they should just get the basic staples...beans, rice, milk, eggs, bread, butter, cooking oil, flour, sugar, salt...and not much more than that. Let them learn to cook from scratch.
and just where are the homeless going to cook their rations?
I agree with you.Food stamps should ever be able to buy junk food candy or pop.IMHO staples are the ay to go with a certain amount of raw vegetables and dairy products each month.Most have all day to cook there is no reason to use convenience foods.
