/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.12352057]

A proposed Texas bill would ban residents from using food stamps to purchase junk food, including energy drinks and some types of candy.

Republican state Rep. Brisk Icetea said the bill aims to limit the spread of diabetus and other health cumplications related to being obese. The bill would also prohibit buying potato and corn chips, sweetened and decaffeinated drinks, and cookies (brownies are unaffected for the moment) with food stamps.

Sweetened beverages account for 27.5% of purchases made with federal Supplemental Nutrition Ass Program, according to a U.S. Department of Agayculture report. Households that did not receive food stamps, by comparison, spent about 38.2% of their food budgets on sugary drinks.

it depends on what they mean.
if they're throwing fruit juice in with pop then i can easily see that happening. a case of pop is now around $9, and juice is somewhere between $4 and $6 a gallon. a family of four can run through 3 or 4 cases of pop a month easily, and 2 or 3 gallons of fruit juice. that's over $50 a month for 'sugary drinks'. it also doesn't even count the single serve 20oz bottles of pop or pints of juice that are sold at the checkout lanes of nearly every single grocery store. i can easily see all of that adding up to close to $100 per household if they don't keep a budget or watch what they spend.

The truth of the matter is that food stamps, more than pretty much any other assistance program, is heavily dependent on the whim of the people you're dealing with when applying. Usually if you go and talk with local charities that deal with food they'll usually have someone who can help you if you feel you're getting screwed over on food stamps. Also keep in mind that if you qualify for food stamps, even if you're only getting a tiny amount of money, you more than likely also qualify for other benefits like TANF and, if your kid is young enough, WIC.

It's not a "punishment ", like some people say, it's actually a help. I'm all for people getting help from social programs when they need it, but if you really need food stamps, then you need nutritionally rich, whole foods, not empty calorie sugar bombs.

You can pay for hot food through your card in some states by tapping into the same card because you're allowed to use the money to pay debts, hence it's a debit card. This is only a technicality, a glitch of sorts, available to women supporting children who once again have a different kind of account to pay debts. Most states will block it.
