Do u believe people on food stamps should buy junk food 🍔

There is a huge uproar on Tik Tok about this current issue today. States are now putting limitations on what you can purchase with EBT cards.
No more chips and soda and sweets can be bought anymore through the SNAP program. And
that you can only buy fruits, vegetables, bread, dairy and meats. Hmmmmm.
Do you believe that this is fair ? Do you believe the government should be telling US what to eat.
The floor is yours SW. Best answer wins.☺🍊

@AthrillatheHunt wrong. People who are enroled in RMP get benefits ton use at restaurants and those who are enrolled are extremely limited. You have to be homeless, severly disabled, or elderly without a care provider. It's a specialized program some states have developed to assisg people unable to prepare food themselves or with extreme difficulty.

@MethDozer I have no idea what you’re talking about Meth

@AthrillatheHunt you have no idea what are talking about. Read what I saud You're clutching your pearls over people on food stamps "eating McDonald's andbat restaurants " they are not, thats not a thing. 6 states have a special program for the severally disablef, elderly, and homeless called the RMP program. The restaurant meals program and it is for very specific cases for people who dont have a kitchen to prepare food in ( the homeless) or have physical limitations that make it very difficult for them ( the severaly disabled and elderly). Thats not crazy thats compassion
Zonuss · 46-50, M
@MethDozer Yes it's a special program you have to be part of.
Kind of like UnitedHealth.
MethDozer · M
@Zonuss yeah.

People complaining about desperate folks on staps esting low quality food are missing the point. When you're poor you're in survival mode. That means looking for enough calories to keep younalive today, not necessarily quality food that will keep you healthy long term. Yes healthy food is ideal fornljng term health, but if youre starving today your main goal is gettkng enough calories to get to tomorrow. If you give the option of enough healthy food for two weeks or enough cheeseburgers for a month. Taking tbe cheeswburgers is the better option in your rock and hard place position. Healthy food is useless if you cant obtain enough calories from it.
