The rules should have been held to decades ago that you can only purchase basic food stuffs. No Soda, energy drinks, Chips, No Snacks, No High sugar cereals,etc. Only vegetables meat and some dairy products. How is is that to figure out? But didn't the food stamp program start out that way? What happened? I remember I was in a grocery store and this humongous fat lady had her shopping cart filled with 2 liter soda bottles and I bet she wasn't using her cash to buy that crap. I should have took her picture...lol

There should be no EBT. This automatically solves the soda problem.

Yes, there should be rice/flour, beans/canned meat, and seasonal unsold veggies and fruit (fresh or canned) distributed. Milk and Cheese occasionally.

By churches. Gubmint should stay out of it.

What's a snack? Who's the food police that is deciding what a snack is? The same carpet munching retards, paying a premium because they put an "Organic" label on the same 99 cent head of lettuce?
Not everyone stocks up on all chips and soda, and that's all they eat. Because you thought you some fat person you would personally force into an involuntary diet, those that don't load up on chips but like to buy them occasionally when appropriate. Like your kids birthday party, a summer picnic the Fourth of July celebration. Your desire to chastise and tax those you think needs to be on a diet, teleports to punishing everyone else.

Who in the fuck made you people your brother's keeper? instead of doing what RFK Jr. is doing, making them remove the bad shit. You guys just championed making snacks unaffordable. And I was so fervently bitching about it, back in the early days, because I saw exactly where this was fucking going, and it has. If you can force one group of people to pay a 500% markup gouge, then why in the hell not just inflate everyone's grocery bill for every fucking thing.

Go starve your stupid asses if you care to, but stay out of people's grocery business, you dumb sons of bitches. I'm telling you this for your own ignorant good!

If you’re curious how the influencer media pay-op works on the right, here’s a short explainer:

Coca Cola never actually writes a check to Ian Miles Cheong. First the Coke money is laundered to a libertarian or “pro capitalism” think tank as a “donation.”

Then a PR person for the think tank sent an email blast to all of these conservabro influencers with versions of the post to make.

No direct compensation is attached, but it maintains the implicit promise of future access and funds. So Ian can say he honestly never took a check from Coca Cola. Coca Cola can say they never paid a bunch of social media influencers to advocate for taxpayer-funded obesity.

And yet, thanks to the magic of middlemen, that’s exactly what happened.

Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare
Well, God, if you're five-foot-three and you're three-hundred pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Fudge Rounds

When I was a kid graham crackers were one of the most wholesome snacks you could give a kid, recommended by pediatricians everywhere.
By time I was in my late teens and early 20's when HFCS were starting to be put in everything, and baker shops were replaced by industrial automated conveyor belts. They were chocked full of so much shit, and HFCS that they were no longer the wholesome biscuit/crackers that they once were. So everyone said, "it turns out they are bad for you after all, don't eat them." so now you never see graham crackers eaten by kids like before. But for some reason Lunchables and Dannon gogurt is being pushed on kids instead. Why did Pediatricians pull the plug on graham crackers like they were always bad, rather than calling out the Nabisco and Keebler for adulterating them? And don't get me started on the peanut butter we used to slather over the crackers.

RFK Jr. has been long over due, blaming fat people for our bad food supply is a suckers game.

Can't get over the fact that your tax dollars are paying for Indian EBT cards so they can stock up on milk from Walmart for their 7-11 that employs their family on an H1-B visa.

Just cut EBT for everyone unless legit disabled and cannot make income. No one in this country is starving if they don't want to. Keep giving them a life line to being lazy. Hell even a wheel chair bound person can make good money.

School lunches for kids are fine, but adults need to adult. Don't be a whore bag single mom. Find a partner. The excuses get annoying after a while.

Mapping to nignog and Hispanic populations?

I can see why some families are losing it over the SNAP cuts

Some families haven't bought groceries since the 1950s/60s

They have no memory of ever paying for food, there are people in their 50s, 60s, who have never actually paid for groceries, ever

I was a cashier at a grocery in NW San Antonio in the late 80s early 90s and it was rare. In ~3 years I only experienced one person using food stamps and they were literally a roll of stamps that they had to pull out and count in front of everybody. Embarrassment discourages that shit. Now when I'm in line in the same area I see people using the EBT cards all-the-time.

If I recall it was obama who moved things from stamps to cards and expanded that shit greatly.

I saw a video with a lady angry she might have to use "Her Money" to buy food because her mom's EBT wouldn't work.

Many people that have EBT have additional sources of money. That's why restricting EBT to only "essentials," while a good message and good policty, won't actually change eating habits.

Yep, but it's important not to allow PepsiCo/YUM! and 711 to base any income on EBT. Or they too become a constitutent, which is a problem.

In Obama's defense, he removed the shame of asking for government assistance after bailing out the fucking rich bankers and others with Junk bonds.

Compared to the BAILOUT of the rich, food stamps is paltry.

> food stamps run out
> riots
> insurrection act

It can't be that easy.

So many questions.

1.) Who keeps fucking her?
2.) Is she clinically mentally retarded?
3.) When does Trump ramp up the return to Africa campaign?

return to Africa campaign?

Make Africa Great Again!!!

You’ve got to make these videos shareable. How can I share them?

DemoralizerOfPanicans says

Fast food gets a lot from EBT. You know it well, many businesses are direct beneficiaries of EBT. That’s the people who want dependency.

Landlords and builders in CA benefit hugely from section 8 and welfare payments.

Make EBT money stretch like breakfast for dinner.

Even if not on EBT, cook eggs to make French toast (Wonder Bread and add a little cinnamon).

And Kool Aid Tropic Fruit Punch mix has vitamin C in it. And can buy with EBT on Amazon.

Boil some chicken legs pieces in pot of water and add some diced carrots and yellow onions along with a little garlic and then serve with rice to make chicken soup. Add some chicken bouillon cubes if needed for extra seasoning.

Lots of ways to stretch food budget and still enjoy simple pleasures.

Yep, you can make a shitton of food with a handful of vegetables, noodles/rice/flour, and cheap cuts of meat.

Snap should be very limited to what can be had. Should only be whole foods. No fast food, sodas, processed foods ect. I always thought it should be breeds, produce, milk, eggs, meat.

I was today years old when I found that not only coffee, but the premium priced coffee cups, are SNAP/EBT eligible.

@WallStreetApes

More Americans exposing the truth about the SNAP EBT Program
"The real reason why a lot of people are upset about this whole food
stamps snap benefit thing, bro, is because they're selling their food stamps.
They're selling them. I'm telling you, they are selling their food stamps. You
know how many people in New York and other states right now are going to
the corner store, the deli, and they're selling their food stamps"
"That's why they're getting like $4,000 - $3,000 in food stamps, and
they're selling it for cash. They'll get $4,000 in food stamps and they'll just
take like $1,000 in cash. Like bro, like that's happening like everywhere.
That's why they're mad."
"They will never admit to selling their food stamps. But it's happening."

Any bets on how long it will be before every retail store uses the Costco membership model of business. Require customers to pay a fee upfront for the privilege of shopping there and requiring identification before they can enter. Only way I see to cut down on retail crime.

I think that's a CA thing.

We don't have any of that here in Florida. Not even in the big cities, other than the usual trying to grab a candy bar or 40 and run off with it from a convenience store type thing. But that doesn't usually go well for the perp with all the cameras.

Retail is being killed off by Amazon and other online shopping anyway, except for boutique places.

No retail theft if there is no retail. But then, people steal Amazon packages off your doorstep.

That's why they call them Democrats.
