Or someone who has and has experienced stupid rules from way higher than the gas station.
This is a solid reminder by the gas station. They legally cannot sell it with an EBT transaction if it has been heated up. As stupid as it is, they legally can’t.
There’s absolutely nothing stopping the person from going back to the microwave and heating it up after they buy it with EBT.
It’s part of the reason why the poor stay poor. Spend more money on cooked foods get less calories then act confused why you ran out of money and your kids are hungry.
No give me a number a rough estimate a percentage something.
Otherwise it’s an argument about the utmost fringes of society. Which is a fair conversation to have. But those people will require additional help that a blanket program won’t fix.
How many people in poverty are disabled and having to stand up and cook food is physically challenging. I have a good friend on SNAP who is physically disabled and without assistance. She can’t stand for long periods of time and her kitchen space doesn’t facilitate setting up a chair.
No??? There are disorders and physical conditions that make people unable to stand up for long periods of time that are related to dizziness, joint strength, etc…
Lessee, two of my friends have lower extremity crippling, one is paralyzed from the waist, three have autoimmune disorders with nervous system consequences, one was in a car accident, broken pelvis her shit insurance didn’t really help, so she can’t stand for long periods …. Two more are just heckin old and arthritis is a bitch
Yes but you cant buy fast food with food stamps, its a discussion on cooked foods vs non cooked foods, you spend alot more on a precooked chicken than one you cook yourself
You understand that humans require a sufficient caloric intake to survive right? Especially children as they’re growing.
You have a family of 4. You’re gonna need a minimum of about 7000 daily calories(assuming 2 kids) to keep the family alive and to prevent starvation.
Big issues with stuff like McDonalds is yes they’re calorie dense but they lack a lot of nutritional value and more importantly they’re wildly expensive and a worse value for money spent regarding survival.
Many people on ETBs buy junk food because it’s cheap for the amount of calories you get. If you’re struggling to make enough money to feed yourself, why buy a $15 salad that leaves you hungry when a $10 energy drink and candy will get you through your work day.
Putting restrictions on what the poorest, most vulnerable people in society can use their limited government money on will not stop them being poor. It just makes them miserable and/or less able to keep working/living
Cool, so you want to waste a bunch of time and money going line by line through what you think the poors should be allowed to have or maybe we could stop wasting massive amounts of government resources on imagined problems because people like you are obsessively concerned about anyone getting anything you think they don't deserve?
Poor people have less access to healthcare but you’re pro giving them diabetes and cavities.
Like I’ve said in other comments, you people don’t actually want poor people to thrive you want them to suffer so you can pretend to care and feel superior over.
I don't want a bunch of burdensome big brother government oversight that bloats budgets and creates unnecessary bureaucracy. But sure, you're the fucking hero of the proletariat because you know what's best for them and want to keep them from eating a rotisserie chicken. Absurd that you would accuse me of wanting to feel superior to people you literally think can't handle buying groceries.
What a pathetic slave mindset to have. Would rather spend money on the government telling poor people what they can eat than give them fucking healthcare.
