I wonder whether EBT cards can be programmed to pay only for healthy food.

As has been discussed in many threads, it's not the recipients who stand in the way of that, it's the huge food conglomerates, distributors and retailers (and their lobbyists and politicians in their home districts) who stand in the way of that.

Thanks, steve86. I’m not here all the time, but what you say about BigFood and their lobbyists and wholly owned politicians makes absolute sense.

What a disgrace. I’d wager that they’re in cahoots with BigPharma, which will benefit greatly from a weak and sick population.

Eat organic. Take no meds. I try to live that way.
