Was in line at a local grocery store when I witnessed the lady in front of me get denied because she tried to by 4 twelve packs of soda with her EBT card and the cashier said she couldn't purchase soda with her EBT card. She marched out and I wanted to say hell yeah but I restrained myself. I guess I missed it but I wasn't aware LA was one of the states that stopped allowing the purchase of junk food and sodas with SNAP benefits. That is definitely what I voted for!

Shite is $50 for that now. Unreal.

Oh well. She can pay for it like everyone else if she wants all that soda or do without.

Last night I was at Consecos and saw someone buy $120 worth of filet and use EBT

Is that any better or worse than buying Coke?

If you can’t afford $120 of filet you should work harder


Like a person on snap does. Statistics show that the average person on snap has multiple jobs

I've been seeing signs for a while now posted at the entry of a lot of grocery and convenience stores advising that those types of items were no longer SNAP eligible

Not chips. She can still buy 7 party sized bags of Frito Lay junk if she wants to.

that's an okay start....

but now, implement a nationwide limit to EBT purchases. The only remaining eligible products should be: nutritious foods such as fruits and vegetables; ground beef, pork, poultry, fish, and eggs; milk, cheese, yogurt, and infant formula; rice, beans, pasta, oats, flour, bread, and potatoes; nuts, seeds, peanut butter, basic cooking ingredients, reasonably healthy cereals and frozen meals, and seeds or plants used to grow food. that's it. plenty to survive on.

we'll give you a reasonable 5-10% discuount on steak and seafood. But soda, energy drinks, candy, and gum; chips, snack cakes, cookies, and similar junk food; Restaurant meals and most hot prepared foods
Alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets, supplements, and nonfood products ridiculously expensive “luxury” versions of otherwise eligible products should be completely removed from EBT.

EBT should prevent hunger and promote nutrition, not subsidize your lifestyle.

One of the things I appreciated about Calandro’s was their no EBT policy. Such a nice experience.
