Lots of irate people in the replies that think we really need to guarantee a steady supply of junk food and sugar to people using EBT who are already above the national average for obesity and who are making TikTok videos about how theyβre going to chimp out over SNAP getting cut
@Lead_Flinger Let em chimp. I say SNAP should be for meat, veggies, milk, eggs, flour, sugar, yeast, spices, etc. Super processed foods should be off the table.
@CrakerJackShad @Lead_Flinger Thankfully your irrelevant ass doesn't get to decide that
@IchigoatSwift @Lead_Flinger I vote, therefore I am not irrelevant. So, FU
@CrakerJackShad Itβs hilarious how all these people are the same ones that rant about corporate greed and donβt realize how much these programs are like a subsidy to the big food corporations and retailers.
@CrakerJackShad @Lead_Flinger So the EBT recipient trades meat and veggies for cookies. It's a small speed bump. Unless we're delivering a box of food and not giving them EBT cards. Even then there will be some bartering but maybe not as much when it's packaged as government surplus or has DHS warnings
@CrakerJackShad @Lead_Flinger My Mom had two of us on help for a little bit when I was really young late 80s she got flour, canned goods, milk, rice, a few other staple things other than that the actual real food stamps wouldn't cover shit and she felt embarrassed bring that back.
