When I searched maximum benefits earlier, I only focused on one and four person households. The maximum a one person household can earn is $1307. A four person household can earn a maximum of $2665. That max benefit is $192 for one and $640 for four. There's no caviar in that budget.
Full-time at $12/hr would gross $480/week and $2 grandish a month. You were probably right on the cusp for a family of three. I'm sure you were happy to be out of the system, but as you said, it was a Natty Light 30 pack kind of existence.

Food stamps should get you a sack of beans that you have to go pick up every so often and that's it

There was a time when govmt food programs were limited in what you could buy (see WIC).
Today you can even buy cooked food like BOILED CRAWFISH on the damn card.
Food Stamps are now little more than a way to buy votes and control a society. Worse yet it’s no longer just the poor they are buying. If tomorrow, Food Stamps ceased to exist, businesses across the country would lose millions of dollars

It just seems so logical, considering our national debt and obesity epidemic, that we would limit the options to fruit, vegetables, pasta, rice, milk, water, meat, eggs, diapers, formula, etc.
It used to be limited to subsidence items.
But the system used was easily visible and made people feel bad so they switched to EBT so they feel comfortable spending money on charity.
Then starts the game of trying to lobby for it to apply to as absolutely much as possible to complete for a users EBT dollars.

Also, a lot of people are ignoring that many areas of poverty are food deserts
Food deserts are a made up crock of shite to try to push for more welfare.
It’s literally defined as being more than 1 mile away from a supermarket.
They are literally saying that if you can’t reach a supermarket on foot within 20 minutes, or by car in 2 minutes, then you have zero access to quality food and it is why you make poor dietary choices.
And I’m sure they’ll point out it needs to be that restrictive in case they don’t have a car.....except where are the statistics of households who have no car and no access to public transit?
It has to be an exceedingly low figure.
So all this bullshite shifting off of personal accountability for ones own choices gets side stepped for the sake of 1-2% of the population (number of people who both have no means of conveyance and are within a “food desert”
And this is what is the current hot topic use to justify things like the obesity and health issues from eating fried food incessantly.
Complete.
Utter.
bullshite.
