How is it moral for 'Muricans to feed the poorest, often minorities, the shittiest of foods?

Should EBT be allowed to pay for shit food?

people that are money poor are often time poor as well.

in a huge city they are working long hours, combining multiple incomes to barely pay for their housing, transportation and childrens necessities.

they are just trying to give them flexibility besides cooking chicken breast and rice pilaf for an hour every day

This is a really complicated question, which I'd love to tackle but I won't.

why does ebt redeem hot food?
i thought it didnt

[Anonymous No.17110092]

They already spend their ebt on shit garbage at grocery stores. So it literally makes no difference.
How fucking retarded are you that you’d think that people are otherwise spending ebt on healthy stuff?

[Anonymous No.17110093]

They shouldn't be given the choice if they don't know any better. It's for their own good. If we can mandate vaccines, why can't we enforce people to be healthier?

Used to be you couldn't buy fast food, or even certain foods from a grocery store, with EBT. But, all the people using EBT complained, and all the liberals listened. Now you can buy just about anything, including snacks from a gas station, with EBT in most states. Evidently it's racist if you can't.

It's state by state, I know in Virgina 7 elevens we're advertising like crazy when they started allowing EBT for their shitty pizzas and shit, storefronts were plastered all over with hand written "We take EBT" signs and shit.

Have you been to cities? The places are littered with all kinds of grocery places. They just are the type of places that don’t put prices on things, charge too much, and really exist for the check cashing service. But they always accept EBT, and prices aren’t high enough that fast food becomes genuinely cheaper.

[Anonymous No.17110375]

No. Real food is cheaper.

Yes you can. The gas stations sell rice, beans, and raw bacon. Not the gas stations you find in richer, commercial districts, but the gas stations in the poor and shitty parts of town.

[Anonymous No.17110449]

Deli meats. Bread. Deli cheese. Fruits. Vegetables. There’s plenty of ready-to-eat real foods, even in the gas-station “grocery stores”. Food deserts are a white liberal lie, and everyone with a brain knows it.

I get my groceries from Walmart. Definitely a poor and disgusting place. But it has more than enough foods to eat. But I’m not a retard who doesn’t know how to use a stove or hold a job, so I buy raw ingredients to cook.

[Anonymous No.17110535]

>>17110517
i just felt like i had to speak up and pour one out for the homies in actual food deserts with no car. i've lived in one and it's not fun IMO and i think you're making it out to be a walk-in-the-park when it's not.

those bodegas are way overpriced and have crappy selections. it feels like you're getting doubly punished for living in a shitty area.

but fuck me cause i don't want to eat cold cuts and the like i guess.

How Machiavellian - a ploy to speed up the demise and docility of the poor dumb masses who enjoy their fast food like a pacifier as they get fatter, acquire more co-morbidities, and die sooner thus ridding society of them that much quicker!

Two gallons milk for $4, not a quart for 1.49. Oil that costs a whopping 55 cents somehow, 4 potatoes for $3. Basically whoever made this went for lazy and unoptimized and yet it STILL massively out ratios fast food

[Anonymous No.17110564]

>>17110535
I didn’t say it was fun. But pretty much all poor people get to Walmarts to shop anyway. I brought up the Bodegas as examples that shit exists everywhere (though even the dollar store beats them in selection). I brought up the cold cuts and bread as like a literal homeless situation. And I think more meals would be better than less for them, and probably should’ve said peanut butter and bread in that case. Again, I’m trying to beat restaurants in price, and that isn’t hard. I’d also rather eat cold cuts every meal than McDonald’s, but I just hate McDonald’s tier and below fast food.

fair enough. you've succeeded in that. but i still thank god for not having to live in a food desert anymore. i believe they exist and we may never agree about that.

Then you shouldn't be given money to go spend on overpriced trash food that will make you an even bigger burden on taxpayers, if someone doesn't have shelter and the means to cook for themselves then giving them a McDonald's card is the worst possible solution.

[Anonymous No.17110854]

would assume it has to do with those companies being able to lobby the state to be the only ones who are eligible. Not from cali but would assume the local fried chicken place isnt on there but kfc is, basically subsidizing big business instead of the small local ones

That would also mean using police force dragging them to work even if it's just preparing snacks for the actual workers or picking up after them. And the forced labour would be paid almost as much as the real one so they wouldn't be that poor anymore.

>a massive resource drain on the healthcare industry
Only in commie land, here people actually make a fortune with selling insuline and other medication/treatments. You're only fucked as a consumer of healthcare, not as a higher up in the industry.

They do exist. But the reason why is what people so adamantly avoid at all costs. It's because these neighborhoods and communities won't stop stealing massive amounts of product from the stores.

Couldn't you still make a huge shopping trip out of the deser once in a while? Even if just for Rice, pasta and one or two veggies of your choice if you have a freezer. Freezers are the best poorfag investment.

if you define healthy as whole grains fruits and veg this has been tried and it doesnt work. the Faith DM trial tried to give unhealthy impoverished people who had food insecurity "healthy foods" and saw no improvement. make of that what you will.
