If we'd move to just sending the basics, no one would want to be on ebt. Create the motivation.

After they do this they should cut EBT use at Sam’s, Amazon and Costco. It’s a sick feeling to work 40 hours a week making $42.60 an hour and have to check out at Sam’s with your bare essentials while the obese family ahead of you checks out 3 buggies of steaks, pork roast, ribs, sausage, and everything else needed for a 20 person bar b q and pays with their EBT cards.

I knew people that traveled the world on unemployment benefits. If you're just backpacking, $400 or so a week for 18 weeks can get you pretty far.

There are a lot of nutritionists that work for the USDA - they can come up with menus for families and those ingredients is what can be bought with the EBT
Stores might revolt though

Exactly… it’s not middle class actually purchasing the groceries that buy up the expensive junk.

Makes sense to be able to use them nearby, like Poplarville or Natchez.
No it doesn’t. They live in LA, it should only be spent in LA. If you’re on government assistance, it shouldn’t be convenient. I actually wish we did away with the EBT and SNAP cards and went back to actual stamps.

I’m not gonna lie- I love, or used to love, junk food… I just can’t justify the exorbitant cost of it. Never fed my kids much junk but I used to be quite the trash panda for boxed and bagged goodies.
