It’s sadly not a matter of healthy vs. unhealthy. It’s the legal difference between groceries and prepared food. Groceries are tax free. “Hot prepared food” and “supplements” aren’t. Cold/room temp cookies would be tax free and EBT-accepted, but hot fresh cookies wouldn’t be. For healthy food, you can get salmon, broccoli, and rice with EBT at a supermarket, but if it’s hot then you cannot, even if it’s at a supermarket.

The legislation literally started out as a tax exemption on groceries while paying taxes at a restaurant, and now people have multi-million dollar legal careers built on arguing if a food is legally a fucking grocery. You could get a McDonalds milkshake with EBT but not a Big Mac (even though you could probably make an argument that they’re always fucking cold and should be tax free).

I think the legislation started as a way to prop up the ag sector too 😭 and then they were like “oh yeah we can help the poor too”
