Good. I was once on food stamps and the backhole bumfuck town I lived in had a shitty family owned super market.

One of the ways they made money was allowing food stamps to buy booze, it just rang up as different items.

I can't say I'm a fan of using the government for this kind of social intervention, but this does resolve a logical inconsistency in our current welfare system. If you're assuming these people are incapable of taking care of themselves, which our system assumes they are or else they wouldn't need the government's help indefinitely, then you really shouldn't let them make all their own choices because they will make bad choices.

>>12265164
Welfare is supposed to keep people from dying. It only makes sense that you would prevent people from buying shit that will make them fat as fuck.

I think this is a great idea. I used to work for WIC and this is what people don't understand
These programs are NOT THERE for people to LIVE off of. They are "supplemental", it's literally to ensure that you don't simply die of starvation.
On the WIC you CAN'T get these foods already. You can only get whole grains, 100% juice, even beans and tofu and shit its crazy now all the shit they give out. But it's all HEALTHY and follows a nutritional daily value.
But I also used to work at a grocery store and the shit these people would get with SNAP is retarded. Like, not even livable. You get free access to nearly ANY food item and you get garbage bullshit that you could spend your measly slavewage on, instead of buying meats and fresh items and bulk rice and pasta and shit I simply DO not understand these people.
SNAP eligibility worker positions are a revolving door position too. They must hate working there because it's always available as a job posting...

>>12265163
>cigarette juice
do americans really do this

>>12265471
I live in a gentrifying area, on one side of the tracks there's projects, on the other craft bitters and vintage stainless steel espresso shot contests.

At my local store there's a fucking wall of instructions next to the register for food stamp people. Any time a food stamp lady comes in to buy a week's worth of groceries (btw what is up with food stamp people buying ALL THE GROCERIES FOR THE YEAR AT ONCE instead of just shopping every day like normal people?), there's a huge ass pileup while the shop clerk autistically checks every god damm item.

I swear to god it's a full time job for poor people just to buy food and then it's ANOTHER full time job for the store people to comply with the regulations.

Just hand out the cash, yeah some people are going to misuse it, there will be people buying tobacco, whatever. I don't give a shit. People will find a way to scam any system, if you try to DRM the living shit out of every single program, subsidy, tax break, and benefit, all you do is fuck over the honest and the scammers will find a workaround either way. India is already doing literal cash handouts and it's cut government corruption by billions of dollars.

Lastly, I'd like to point out how fucked up it is that you can't buy fresh parsley on food stamps, but you can buy a box of dehydrated potato flakes. Whoever designs these systems is sick in the head. Theology-based, reward-and-punishment evangelical nonsense. Why are conservatives so obsessed with punishing the poor and reminding them that they were evil and wicked and God wants them to repent?

>>12265465
This.

>>12265497
Just look at this insanity, this is just one page out of a humungous binder. OMG 11.79 oz container, BZZT dishonest poor detected, go to purgatory and read Revalations 16:29 before attempting to eat again. You over there 12.1 oz container, that's fine, it's the exact same shit inside but Jeebus said this is American USA Patriot™ approved and not STRAPPING YOUNG BUCK SUPERPREDATOR FUEL.

The whole program should just be cancelled at this point, it's the mental illness of control freak conservatives, manifested as a social safety net.

It will never happen. We don't really tolerate being told what we can and can't do in Texas.

Junk food has plenty of calories so it's not like they're gonna starve.
Why should I care how "healthy" someones diet is.

4chan(nel) is a strange mix of NEETs on welfare and people who hate NEETs on welfare

>>12265163
As a cashier this would fucking suck.
Seems like WIC but with 100x the amount of people.

>>12265512
Fuck you. If it were up to me, food assistance would consist purely of surplus crops. You’d get a fucking sack of corn, beans, potatoes, onions, and whatever the fuck else is cheap and you can live off of. I’m not enabling the stupid shit poor people do by paying for their food on day one and paying for their obesity-related healthcare on day two. I as a taxpayer have every god damn right to dictate what they eat.

I disapprove, poor people should die early.
why would you want them to eat healthy?

>>12265552
>make it illegal to give out anything other than a specific list of fresh seasonal vegetables with a limited shelf life that require temperature controlled storage
I mean yeah, that sounds very nice and noble of you, but I don't think you've really thought this through.

Why do you think all this processed infinite shelf life obesity crap is so cheap? Do you know how crops work?

>>12265164
The bill is just designed to get black men more attractive so that they can have more white bitches, I see nothing wrong with this

>>12265559
Since when do any of the ingredients I mentioned have a limited shelf life? Besides corn which can keep for a week at room temp, all of those ingredients can keep for months in a pantry. The only reason we let SNAP users go hog wild is because our friends at PepsiCo and our friends in Congress joined hands and said let the leeches of society eat whatever they want regardless of how little self-control they demonstrate on a daily basis.

Just under 15% of Texans are on EBT, about 5% of that is illegal population and 33% of Texas is overweight. Lets stop blaming poor Texans for our rising taxes, healthcare, and cost of living. It's got more to do with the ancient fuckers in office, and the fact that we are being over run by illegals and their "American" children.

>>12265564
>Since when do any of the ingredients I mentioned have a limited shelf life, other than all of them
Indeed, since when. Love how you think a week is "infinite shelf life". How long do you think that shit takes to get from field to retail shelve? Give you a hint: a bit more than a week.
>The only reason we let SNAP users go hog wild
Did you even look at that list? Making someone go through a clusterfuck manual that requires a masters degree in machine learning and 2 years experience in TensorFlow and NumPy to grok is "going hog wild"?
>is because our friends at PepsiCo and our friends in Congress joined hands and said let the leeches of society eat whatever they want regardless of how little self-control they demonstrate on a daily basis.
Kinda, but you got the boogyman wrong, it's a bit higher up the supply chain with Cargill and Dow and associated agro interests insisting on massive subsidies on infinite shelf life crops - corn types that are inedible without heavy processing. Not your favorite summer sweet corn, spaghetti squash, kale, onions, and spring peas. Fresh produce for direct consumption ALWAYS gets market price. There is no political will to provide that kind of food for poors, the system is designed to push off the trashfood on them, the stuff that couldn't be thrown into a USAID shipping container or turned into biofuel or fed to cattle. In short you're living in a fantasy world.

>>12265663
Potatoes and onions keep for well over a week at room temp if you dont cut into them. Carrots keep forever in the fridge. Cheeses and cured meats keep for quite a while. Dry ceareals keep for pretty long in a sealed container. Eggs keep. Most fruit that isn't berries should keep for well over a week on your counter as long as you don't buy it overripe.

There are things that don't keep very well, like raw meat and spinach, but it's not hard to keep the bulk of your cupboard and fridge filled with stuff that doesn't rot after two days.

>>12265667

>>12265163
Wouldn't bother me, when I was on food stamps my cart consisted of meat, eggs, cheese, butter, sour cream, milk and water.
But I'm sure Cuckifornia will eventually pass their own rules banning all but vegan items from being purchased with government assistance.

Honestly I don't care about this. I didn't know that snap paid for energy drinks. Kool aid dry packs will see a spike in sales tho. Ohhhh Yeaaahhh

>>12265791
>But I'm sure Cuckifornia will eventually pass their own rules banning all but vegan items from being purchased with government assistance
Quite the opposite, California leads the way with allowing hot food on stamps

>>12265791
That would be smart move by Cali. People on food stamps should be encouraged to get off them. I can't think of a better way than to force veganism on the recipients.

I honestly don't see a problem with this. When I worked as a cashier back then, everyone who paid with the EBT bought nothing but the store brand junk food. Carts almost overflowing with crap on a daily basis.

Sadly though this will get shut down by the big grocery chains. They make some serious bank off of this shit.

>>12265163
It will get shut down because it doesn't solve anything. Just throwing the baby out with the bath water.

>>12266010
So you just don’t eat fish then?

What's the big deal with poor people buying junk food? Who cares? I'm very poor but I refuse to get on food stamps because I'm embarrassed, and honestly, most of my diet is arguably unhealthy. I'd wager to say that most people in the US don't have very healthy diets to begin with and eat more junk food than they should. Does the anger come from not wanting welfare leeches to have tasty food?

>>12265174
yep gonna be a yikes from me too bruh

>>12266058

I think the anger comes from not wanting welfare leeches to get even fatter and more useless, thus becoming even bigger welfare leeches.

>implying corporations will allow a bill like this to be passed

They keep trying to push bills like this and each time they do companies get together and promptly bitch slap every person that even thinks of voting in favor of it.

And for all the people going "hurr I'm a taxpayer" so are a lot of people that get foodstamps. Unless you're sick, old, or feeble, having a job is part of the requirements of having foodstamps. The majority of Walmart workers alone are also on foodstamps. The main company that goes up against bills like this also happens to be Walmart. Why? Because their foodstamp receiving workers have a tendency to shop at Walmart buying the kind of garbage that bills like this want to ban.

Good Idea. I remember Vince Staples talking about how he got stomach ulcers because his poor ass family would just take the stamps or whatever change they had and hit McDonalds dollar member and just eat like a double cheeseburger with a soda for the whole day. Shit its cancer stop the practise. At the very least stop people using them to buy soda. Up to me I'd ban all soda and remove the lower the drinking age to 15.

not miserable enough if they're not even trying to get off of welfare

For probably the first time in over 30 years, I don't vehemently disagree with the Texas legislature. I have no problems with this. Food stamps should covered any whole foods; meats, veg, fruit, grains, dairy, etc, and goods like cereals, canned food, frozen food, bottled fruit juices, tea and coffee.
Junk food and sodas should never have been acceptable under food stamps. They are empty of nutrition and that's the whole point of food stamps, to give people nourishing food to eat. If I had to get on food stamps, I'd be using mine to make awesome stuff like braised meats, seafood, vegetable dishes, and fruit dishes, not spending it on Coke and Doritos.

>Sweetened beverages — meaning alcoholic drinks added with natural or artificial sweeteners such as coke, fruits and cigarette juice and other flavored beverages — would also be included in the banana.

Lobbyists who make the cost of growing corn a negative value. They’re actually paid to grow it, and that’s before they even sell it. Basically companies negotiate a paycheck with the government and you have no say in it.

I think it's stupid. I'm on food stamps in Cali, I'm a university student. It helps a lot but it would be dumb to remove any kind of food item that contains sweetener. I feel like that's going a bit too far in regulating what people can and can't eat. Plus, what's wrong with people buying a sweet every now and then? Are we just supposed to live bland ass lives where we eat nothing but potatoes, rice, and eggs? I am definitely biased here as a recipient doe

How is not being able to buy candy with food stamps racist?

that's a red hot opinion you have there Cletus, let me guess you think taxation is the devil

>>12266592
You can make anything sound retarded if you remove the context. “How is the term welfare queen racist, most people on welfare are white”. Well yes, but the classic anti-welfare memes are based on the misconception that welfare is for black people. And that the blacks don’t know what’s in their own interest and need to be told what to eat. Unlike the whites.

Cue 100 edgelords saying “nuh uh ur the racist I don’t even SEE race”

t. Asian who watches blacks and whites squabbling over identity politics. And yes whites are the worst offenders by FAR when it comes to identity politics, hence why they are so quick to anger when they think someone else is playing “their” special game

Not really. That's pretty much for handguns only. You can carry a gun with you pretty much anywhere in Texas unless you are trying to go shopping at a business that has their sign up.

Texas has no laws regarding the carrying of long guns (rifles or shotguns) in motor vehicles. Texas does not require a person to have a valid handgun license in order to carry a loaded handgun in a motor vehicle or watercraft if the vehicle is owned by the person or under the person's control.

The “armed” population that supposed to be in the National interest is simply not a concept contained in the Second Amendment. No real definition of a Well Regulated Militia is synonymous with an “armed” population. A bunch of people with guns aren’t a Militia, and they’re certainly not well regulated, they’re just a bunch of people with guns. This is actually an obvious fact.

>>12265497
>Why are conservatives so obsessed...
Because it's my money that pays for their grape drank, cigarettes, and Doritos. My fucking money. That I worked to earn.

They should get a box of fruits, vegetables, and bulk foodstuffs and a packet of easy to follow recipes (that don't require the user to be able to read English or perform basic arithmetic). If they want Funyons and Cheetos, they can get their lazy asses off welfare, turn some tricks, sell plasma, rat out their cousin Ray-Ray for selling dope and collect some of that sweet confidential informant payola, whatever. And no fucking charcoal for "they cookouts", either.

>>12267241
based and transcendentpilled

>>12267257
>is simply not a concept contained in the Second Amendment

We're in complete concordance, it concerns the right of the individual person to keep and to bear arms, and how the government is not permitted to infringe upon this right.

>>12267259
But its not your money. Its taxes. If you ever bought anything that tasted good but wasn't packed with nutrients than you are hypocrite.

Studies show that poor people buying groceries for the home are actually really good about stretching their budget. There is absolutely no fucking need to try to constantly punish them and nanny them for being poor. Nobody wants to be poor so stop trying to take away any little pleasure they have.

OP here, you're a bunch of fucking faggots and are completely off-topic. Discussing the second amendment and black crime rates, go back to your containment board. Literally no one even attempted to answer the question poised.

>>12267278
They aren't infringing upon it. You can buy a handgun, but if you want that handgun strapped In a holster on your waist while
You eat at the public whataburger surrounded by other people then yeah you "need" a permit. That's it. What's the problem.

You can leave your long rifle in your truck while your eating. But let's be honest here.. you walk into a place in Texas with a handgun in a holster and mind your own business no one is really gonna say anything to you about it or ask you for your license. We grow up with guns in Texas. It's part of the culture. No one is going to say anything to you except maybe the liberal single mom with tattoos and nose piercings eating salad with her kids that's scared of everything or the random dick state trooper. We only pay attention to the blacks and browns with guns.

>>12267327
>What's the problem
The problem would be that the 2nd amendment says that I don't need a permit, and that it is an unlawful infringement of my constitutional rights to require one.

Literally everyone answered your question and opinions dipshit

>>12267290
>But its not your money. Its taxes.
This is why our country is doomed. Morons like you honestly don't understand that producers like me are what pays for everything... TAXES ARE OUR MONEY YOU STUPID SHIT.
>If you ever bought anything that tasted good but wasn't packed with nutrients than you are hypocrite.
Why? It's my fucking money. I earned it, I can buy whatever I want with it. D'Andre, LaMarcus, Quanisha, Jose, and Juanita didn't earn the money that's paying for the food that is meant to keep them alive, so they shouldn't be allowed to squander the funds by purchasing crap.

>>12267340
No. It doesn't. It speaks of well regulated militias in 1789

The United States never had any law that required all able bodied citizens to be “armed”. Nor has any law ever existed that would require all such armed citizens to report for duty in defend the nation. If our government wants to compel military service it has to institute a Draft. Citizens who own guns have never been required to engage an enemy in combat. Again, the US constitution explicitly created a standing Army and Navy to defend the nation. They never passed a law, or amendment, or Article that in any way could require citizens to be “armed”, and to report for military service with those “arms”.

That's private property, the owner of it can dictate whatever rules they please for entry.

>>12267443

Decent food is expensive and the people that rely on food subsidies likely won’t be able to make 2000 calories per day if they’re restricted to non processed, healthy shit.
It looks good on the surface, force the poor to eat right or starve, but in reality it’s just another way to save money and fuck over a big segment of the population.

wait until you find out all your food is subsidized with tax dollars. without those subsidies ground beef would be $20 a lb and you wouldn't have about 2 varieties of vegetables to choose from at the store. Good thing you're okay with the government telling you what to eat. I think they should ban sodas and junk food for everyone. Don't fight back though, because you just said you were okay with it.

What is new is I have to do community service, job search, meet with staff at two rivers about employment training regularly, shit like that.
I live in a small town, so job search and finding employment that isn't through family or friends is nearly impossible. Hopefully this employment training person will help me get a job I didn't know was available.

I also don't like using my link card, but I'm kinda fucking stuck having too since it's been a year since I moved back to my home town, and I've only gotten one job interview at mcdonalds, they never called back.

Retard. Take advantage of clearance racks (EVERY grocery store has one) and learn how to ask the produce department for free "trimmings" (e.g. greens and veg not durable for the produce table). Git gud. I make damn good money but know how to cut corners when it comes to food.

The bureaucracy needed to put in place to enforce these requirements will cost more than just letting Shaniqua buy her 3 liter coke and Cletus his pack of Slim Jims, so fuck it.

>>12271076
>free trimmings
I'm pretty sure most grocery stores have a policy to throw away most left over food that isn't suitable for consumption
That's what happened at my old job until we petitioned to work on some sort of system to donate leftovers

So if you've found a grocery store that does that for literally anyone that asks, give me the locations

>>12271049
It really is. I'm a houstonfag...i can't buy booze before noon on sunday.

>>12271082

It's mostly an automatic process
Less bureaucracy and more data entry
Just remove all of the codes that link to items that are considered junk from the list of items that food stamps can be applied to
Most of the time, when you swipe a food stamps card, it automatically deducts the items that are applicable
It might take a month at most to roll out

But will any of this actually save the tax-payer money? I doubt the types of people who use their stamps to buy shit will improve much even if they are forced to not buy shit.

Why are people acting like this is racist or something? If anything poor people will get swole, this is a good thing for low income niggers.

sounds like a great idea. people on welfare shouldn't be eating processed crap that degrade their health that they'll need more welfare to fix that other people pay for.

limit it to the basics, grains, beans, pasta, rice, unprocessed meats, fruits, veggies, spices and staples like bread eggs and milk.

since you won't read it:

I worked at Dollar General once and a LOT of people would buy fucktons of junk food, I'm talking almost a hundred bucks worth, on stamps, and that's sad, because it's a free ride to unhealthy living.

Also, OP, why did you post a bunch of made up nonsense that isn't in the article at all? Was that supposed to be some kind of bait?

That's not how this works. You sound like those people who throw a hissy fit and end up on YouTube because a business ran out of some loss leader item. "Waah muh munny, muh munny". I'm paying taxes too, most likely more than anyone in this thread, but I don't feel the need to constantly mention the fact because unless you are literally talking to a child, it's understood. Government programs are paid for by taxes. It is unnecessary to constantly mention YOUR tax money as if YOU have some special say in the matter over and above hundreds of millions of other taxpayers.

>>12265163
The bill doesn't address the real problem; juggling funding sources to stop what's purchased. People on welfare have a mix of cash and welfare to purchase food with. It's not just pure welfare. They have the option (albeit more limited) to buy the junk food with cash and the rest on welfare.
The solution would be to ban the purchase of junk food entirely if you are on the welfare system meaning if you buy any junk food you can't get such assistance. I can see people attempting to get around this by making "two-trips"; one to use welfare and the other to use cash. Always the cat-and-mouse.

>>12272877

Just admit this is a /pol/ thread and head elsewhere.

Food stamp programs are probably the least wasteful government spending program, and worrying about how to fix how the recipients spend the relief money they receive is absurd. The federal government pays for 100% of snap benefits, and state only has to pay a PART of administrative cost (those 3 people in welfare offices that don't answer their phones). Whine about some other federal spending?

>>12272744
When you count welfare only about 35% of the US pays any taxes at all, and its heavily skewed to the top. I'd be fine with a percent based system, I get to allocate what I pay in with my rules. It would be a lot easier to fix a the massive scam of a system though. The US budget would fixed within a year if there was a you don't pay in you can't vote on anything related to expenditure law, instead we get GIMMME MORE FREE SHIIIIT from the jobless who never do anything economically productive.

>>12272795
>he thinks hundreds of millions of people pay in more than they get in subsidies.

Listen to you assuming I object to the spending part. No, you presumptuous ultrafaggot.

I object to EBT allowing people who already struggle with impulse control to buy fucking bullshit food that will just make them even fatter and more unhealthy, therefore suffer more.

I object to public money being used to buy extremely unhealthy products made by the likes of Coca Cola who think it's their right to deceive children and parents about the danger of their products, and who mercilessly exploit poor people in this country and abuse loose marketing laws in 3rd world countries to make those poor people unhealthy too.

I object to public money going to corporations who praise MUH FREE MARKET while lobbying congress to be allowed to serve their dogshit in our country's schools, getting around parents who have at least started to wise up.

I have no issue with EBT being repurposed to permit only whole foods purchases. And I would support expansion of the program, perhaps offering tax credits to supermarkets selling fresh food in food deserts.

>>12272655
Yeah and most families receiving SNAP and EBT have at least one family member working. Maybe if the corporate oligarchy class emboldened by l'orange paid a reasonable salary since they pay no taxes anymore, your minuscule tax dollars wouldn't be required to subsidise workers, the people that actually produce goods and services.

>But the reality is, many people (44 percent) who rely on SNAP — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, as food stamps is now known — have at least one person in the family working, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

And when it comes to families on SNAP with kids, a majority — 55 percent — are bringing home wages, according to USDA. The problem is, those wages aren't enough to actually live on.

What the absolute fuck are you talking about? Do you live in 1962 or buttfuck nowhereville where there's no computers? I've been on food stamps you dumbfuck. They literally scan your items, you swipe your card/give it to them, MAYBE show ID very, very, very rarely (literally happened only once). It's definutely not a long process AT ALL. It's barely any different then paying with debit. The only time it gets hard is if big momma bertha/laquandisha are trying to pay with 4 different cards. Other than that, no one gives a fuck. The total of non-food items is calculated after you swipe your SNAP card. You are either talking out of your ass or talking about some shitty hippie coop grocer without a functioning system (aka cherry picking).
By the way, yes, you can buy fresh herbs with food stamps. Hell, you can buy potted herbs with them. You can buy almost ANY food item that isn't hot, even cooked shit that's not technically "hot". How the fuck is this punishing the poor, by the way? I literally never bought junk shit with it because I liked saving my money on real, good food. It's so nice having an extra 200 bucks just to spend on half-decent ingredients. This fucking bill wont even ban shit with artificial sweeteners. It's just stopping tyrone and family of 8 from getting beetus from their 6 2 liters of shasta that they buy every fucking week. You can still buy shit to make snacks, naturally sweet drinks for your kids, (i.e apple juice) and even flavored sparkling water if you fucking want a replacement for soda that you can spend your gibs on.

>>12265201
morally i'm inclined to agree with the proposed bill (because from personal experience i've seen a lot of people do nothing but spend it all on redbull and gas station candy), but to understand the drawbacks you have to analyze how poor people, especially those already on the system, shop.

They tend to buy in bulk. Not really "Costco" level bulk, but it's always one big day dedicated to shopping every few weeks or a month. part of which is thanks to time constraints, and partially because income only allows for grocery shopping (especially items that can't be bought with food stamps) to be done after all the major bills are taken care of earlier in the month. So to offset that these people tend to try and buy as much as they can at one single time and store it all until the next month when they get the next allotment and can afford to repeat it all again.

So what exactly are they buying in bulk then?
>Meats
usually pork or cheaper forms of beef. so long as you have enough room to freeze it it'll last for a good while which means it's usually safe to buy in bulk (presuming you'll be able to go through it fast enough)
>Side dishes
things like boxed pastas, potatoes, frozen veggies, etc... If you've been working all day the last thing you want is to come home and spend hours trying to make every part of your dinner from scratch, especially trying to feed a lot of people at once. So boxed/pre-made side dishes are incredibly popular.
>drinks
most common drinks are usually kool-aid drink mixes, tea mixes (or tea bags in the south) and "sports drinks" mixes like the Powerade powder. All of these are _perceived_ as better alternatives than soda (which is just blatantly false, they're all just as bad if not worse). The key factor is that just about all of these drinks can be stretched for longer than soda could

>which is just blatantly false, they're all just as bad if not worse
How are tea bags as bad as/worse than soda?

The ethical thing to do is just kill them in their sleep if they’re at breeding age. We don’t need them making more kids who will also be on welfare because of bad genetics and parenting.

Makes sense. Those guys hate science.

It's a little cattywumpus, but yes, it's in our collective lexicon.

Wait, you could have bought e-juice with food stamps? Why didn't anyone tell me this?

there's your problem, you're in the most retarded and corrupt part of the country and probably working at one of the nepotistic fuckin' Payless. stores.

I don't live in Guam, it was just a random screenshot of a rule list from a basically identical program.

If someone is poor and on foodstamps, they usually don't own a car. When they shop for anything that needs to be in the fridge or freezer it generally requires a favour from family or a friend, or they have to take a taxi home. That's not feasible more than once a month for most poor people

>>12283387
The grocery store I'm referring to is a 5 minute walk from the projects. Anyone who can afford a taxi to avoid a 5 minute walk definitely does not need public assistance.

>>12282745
wholeheartedly agree, the rich white Texans always spouting Jesus shit, but then shit on poor people white and non white.

>I also don't like using my link card, but I'm kinda fucking stuck having too since it's been a year since I moved back to my home town, and I've only gotten one job interview at mcdonalds, they never called back.
Illinois you say? My own clone. You are fucked if you move to rural IL, there is no job market.

>it's government provided food stamps! IT'S BASICALLY IDENTICAL at least when you ignore the fact that there's completely different rules, regulations, and is almost entirely independent from the government program we're ACTUALLY referring to. :)
Ok retard. Have you ever been on food stamps? The main rules they have are no non-food items and no hot food. For fuck's sake, you can even buy Papa Murphy's with it.

>>12283688
I've seen the rules and regulations. The exact words are different. It's still the same byzantine nonsense designed by a mentally ill control freak. The fact that I posted a screenshot of an essentially identical rule set from another part of the US is irrelevant and your getting hung up on minor technicalities like "it's a different UPC code" is a sign you have no argument.
>b-but you have to be on food stamps to understand
No, not that either. Also if I had been you'd be saying "well you can't talk about it because you have skin in the game".

>>12265512
Whole Wheat is poison, and will likely cause sickness rather than increasing health in a number of Food Stamp recipients.

>>12285400
nigga there's water enriched with electrolytes and the exact same shit gatorade has in it. I'm pretty sure there's 0 calorie sweetener gatorade too (allowed by the bill). if you're too dumb to know that you deserve your misfortune.
