It still outrages me to think of it.
Per state and federal regulation cooked would be prepared foods, a no no.
However I would amend regulations to label live lobsters pets and therefore not eligle as a food.
Please send that live lobster tank w/EBT sign pic to every R Congress chucklehead and to President Trump.
This is just infuriating.
It’s the issue of ready-to-eat foods not being allowed. Your case shows the absurdity of unintended consequences of well-intentioned restrictions. For people who live on the edge, they may not have refrigeration or access to food preparation. Some have the issue of long bus rides to a supermarket, and food can spoil getting it home. Buying prepared food would reduce spoilage. With some of the fast-food options offering more healthy choices, it’s a shame some FS money can’t be used on the dollar menus at McDs, Arby’s, TacoBell (and some others).
