[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t the snap benefits be limited to vegetables, pasta or meat?[/quote] What would be super helpful is for the working parent with SNAP to be able to go into the grocery store and buy a hot, roast chicken out of the case - but that's not allowed. So healthy-ish prepared foods are a no-go, but the soda is a go (because the sugar industry, who DONATES TONS OF MONEY TO POLITICIANS, wants it). [/quote] That’s why stores have whole roasted chicken in their deli cases that can be bought with SNAP benefits and heated up at home. So SNAP recipients are unable to heat up some chicken? That’s your point? And instead of buying a chicken and heating it up for their kids, they buy a 12 pack of sugar soda and drink Coke for dinner? That’s your theory.[/quote]
