The fat needs trimming off of EBT as well. No junk food, gourmet foods... etc...

EBT should be modeled after WIC. Nutritionally sound purchasing only.

When I was a child I helped out with the handing out of, yes, government cheese, dried beans, rice, etc. Those sort of staples ought to be what is provided to the poor. That seems so simple and obvious to me.

I’m so tired of being behind people at the grocery store who pay for their food with a Lonestar card, then whip out a wad of 20’s big enough to choke a horse and buy their beer. Seen it many times. In this part of the world, it’s always the illegal visitors from south of the border that I see doing it.

Exactly. If you want to help people eat, give them coupons for only real food.

Nothing but milk, no soda, juices, drink mixes.

Fruits and veggies, cheese, inexpensive meat, and baking supplies. No snack foods, chips, nachos, crackers, no pre-made desserts, or bakery items.

NO LOBSTER AND SHRIMP!!!

Only what is nutritionally sound for a well balanced diet for survival.

That's the most I would allow although I am of the opinion that hunger is a great motivator for getting out and getting a real job.

Set up EBT stores where they can take out basic staples. NO CASH EVER.

Government cheese, powdered milk, rice, beans, ground beef and vegetable basic’s. A government store where these items can be picked up or special check outs for government items only.
