Reply to comment by bhath01 in Trader Joe's take SNAP? by Equivalent_Alps_8321

Agreed. Honestly, man food is fucking food. Hot, cold, warm, etc. Humans need to eat. The obvious argument most folks have is how the money is spent, which makes zero sense because again food is food. As long as the money is being used towards food, it shouldn't matter how it's prepared.The money is also being put back into the local economy.

I feel the same way when I hear(normally a boomer) bitch and moan about food stamps being used on steaks.....like they think poor people should only get block cheese and 80/20 burger 24/7 as punishment for being poor.

"Can you belive they let these people get shrimp with our tax dollars...."

Food is food, it shouldn't be anyone's business how the snap is used so long as it's used on food

Poor people aren't allowed food. If you can't afford gas or electricity too bad.

Should've decided to get a third job or be born sooner.

I've definitely eaten some things marketed as food that were not, in retrospect, actually food.

(Just making fun of my poor life choices and some of the stuff out there, not about how it can be purchased)
