Food Stamps, EBT Card for Fast Food - Yes or No?

People spend a ton of money going out to eat. This is teaching poor people bad financial habits. Teach them to cook. This causes them to save money and be healthier.

Aid should = rice, beans, milk, water, eggs

Whether I eat out or at the house, my food spending is about the same. So if the argument is about expense I don’t see it.

I'll accept a tax increase if we can offer a lifetime supply of EBT in exchange for sterilization.

The fast food industry has some good lobbyists in Arizona.

There needs to be major reform in the EBT program on whats allowed to be bought with welfare and food stamps. Should be bread, milk, eggs, rice, fruit, veggies and non-delicacy raw meats such as pork, chicken, ground beef, turkey and ham. No steaks, boiled seafood, junk food, soda, TV dinners, or fast food.

ETA: I’m fine with people who need help getting it, but I’m tired of seeing taxpayer funded baskets full of expensive items, junk food, and frozen meals paid for with SNAP

It should be that way but it will never happen. The screaming liberals will cry that's racist for some ungodly reason like always.

They buy boiled creawfish with it

They should be forced to buy the grind meat in the tube!
