It's going to get people killed. SNAP already doesn't cover glucose tabs. If someone has a hypoglycemic crash, a soda or a pack of Starburst may be what keeps them alive.

They want the poorest dead. Or to get another job to try and 'live' better.
They want us sick, dying, & tired.

trying to get rid of SNAP at all is EVIL

not to mention just cause they need help paying for stuff doesn’t mean they don’t deserve any treats or food that might bring joy. fuck.

That and people on snap deserve to have treats, too. Poor people deserve to not have to live every moment in misery

If I had my way, SNAP would be expanded and increased. Start allowing hot deli food; poor people deserve a hot lunch too. And start allowing stuff that helps people eat, like paper plates and toothpaste.

Some states with larger homeless populations, like California, let you pay for hot food with the SNAP card. It should be like that in every state, though. You should also be able to pay for pet food with SNAP benefits, especially if you have a real, actual service dog.

I loved Colorado Snap program offered additional funds (coupons) at farmers markets and some markets if you got fresh produce. Made it so much easier to up my weekly amount of fruits and veggies.
