re: Supreme Court rules full Snap food benefits can be temporarily halted

"Boiled shrimp" and other prepared foods are not eligible items for SNAP payment.

hot boiled shrimp no, but if it’s cold, then yes. Just like those ready to go sandwiches and sushi are eligible

I don’t think any prepared food should be allowed.

It would weigh heavy on my conscience if big Pharma and big industrial food didn’t profit immensely off of the addictive and unhealthy habits of the poor and obese.

Have you been to a food pantry lately? They also have top notch stuff. I know because i have worked at the food pantry out here a few times. Top notch food dispersed. Having that and snap cards food would be dam good. Way too many people getting free stuff while the rest of the working class is busting arse just to keep up.

this is so true - my church’s food pantry is awesome

A woman called the church the other day crying and acting a fool telling me she has ‘six kids’ and it’s ’hard to make ends meet’ and I said ‘I totally sympathize, I, too, have 6 kids which is why I work at the church part time.’

She said I was racist because I was telling her to get a job

This is ridiculous. Let snap cover minimal basics, like beans and rice and watch that number drop like a rock.

Sure. It’s statistically impossible that illegal immigrants on SNAP outnumber native-born Americans.

But if you look at it by percentage of country of origin, there absolutely are immigrant groups that use SNAP at higher rates than native-born Americans.

And in those cases, immigration from those countries should be stopped immediately. We are a sovereign nation, not a charity.

i haven't been to a walmart during this, anyone been? how is it?

For years my office was across the street from a nice city park....About once every couple of months a Hugh semi truck would pull into the park....and some folks in a van got out....set up tables with a umbrella and started checking in folks that lined up in cars to get the free food stuff....It was unreal how many folks came to get that free shite....Nice vehicles mostly and even some in pickups with trailers...They would put several boxes on those trailers...

After watching that bull several months...I went over there and went to the table that was dishing out this stuff....I said, why are folks loading up personal trailers with several boxes? They said...they are taking it to folks that can't come to the giveaway....I said are you sure they are taking it to folks or are they selling it for profit? Are you following these people to make sure they are getting it to needy folks...or are y'all just taking their words for it....And how many folks on your giveaway list is and has been dead?? The free giveaway folks got hot at me asking these questions.....Then I said...I want my free box....They said you don't qualify....I said, I'm a tax paying citizen and my money pays for that free stuff and I should be able to get a box. They had steam coming from their collars because I'd made them so mad....Lol

Wrong. The hot boiled seafood is sold from an ice chest, therefore seafood is considered cold.

One thing I like is how Trump is clearing the air legally on a lot of issues.
