Food stamps are more then just for low income our seniors are on it who can’t work anymore, special needs kids with insane food restrictions ive never seen so many people upset that people are getting to eat. Y’all act like just because they need gov assistance they don’t deserve anything but the bare minimum.

They should get meat, vegetables, fruit, basics. No tv dinners or Cheetos. Just ingredients.

Disgusting. Why don’t the working poor deserve a few sodas after dutifully fulfilling their shifts? Trump’s america is a hell scape

I think it should be scaled based on economics and health but essentially set up that you have to buy whole foods with the SNAP. A whole chicken, fressh fruit and vegetables are fully subsidized. Boneless skinless chicken breast is 85% covered. Junk food is are 10% covered. I'd also allow non food essentials like diapers and tampons.
SNAP currently encourages people to be unhealthy.

I'm game, all targeted tax breaks based on industry should be removed.

Good. I don’t mind a cold pop from time to time, but I can’t even justify buying a bottle of water most of the time I’m out, can easily be over $2 after tax. That’s how you go broke, never mind the needless sugar.
My point is I make a conscious decision to drink water because it’s a smart long term financial decision, and I doubt I’m alone. In this sense, SNAP recipients aren’t in need of a “supplement”

They can use the money they made by working to buy whatever they want. You want to buy unhealthy stuff, use your money.
I’m all for setting up small food locations where only snap users can shop and the only foods sold are good healthy options. Ban snap usage at gas stations and convenience stores.

You're more generous than me.
Beans, rice, fruits, veggies, milk, and oatmeal.
Food stamps should be at a level where it is enough to keep you living but bad enough that you don't want to be on it forever.
It's meant to be a lifeline and not something you are supposed to be on forever.

Pepsi and coke both give a lot of money to organizations like the American Heart Association.

Y'all ever hear how they get boiled seafood with their food stamps? The boilers in the ghetto have freezers to place them in for a few seconds so they're technically "frozen" foods
