Trump made it so that people receiving food stamps cant use it to buy junk food. Do you support that policy why or why not

Some states don’t have this rule. I’m 50/50 on it

Depends what’s classified as “junk food”. Is there a link?

EBT usage should mean that grocery stores should have to introduce price controls to make EBT go further

no because that means that some children won’t get birthday cakes and they can’t hand out candy for halloween. junk food is often the center of social gatherings: cookies, brownies, bringing soda for everyone, chips. poor people deserve to be able to buy these things, too. sure you can bring a fruit or veggie tray to a party, but that’s not really the top choice lol

Also, considering hot food isn’t covered by SNAP (literally if you get a sub toasted it can’t be covered), this list is probably getting very small

It can’t be prepared food not hot foods.

Oh that makes more sense I guess. I just assumed it was hot food based on a sign I saw in Wawa that said you can’t use EBT if you get your food toasted or warmed

Anything you order at Wawa you can’t use ebt it’s the same thing with sheetz if you order anything from the screen none of it works

Yeah I don’t think I recall seeing the same sign in other states so maybe NJ is just weird. Wawa > Sheetz though 😤

When you consider that part of the original goal of SNAP was to alleviate food surpluses (aside from helping the needy of course) I don’t really see that happening
