[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thinking of this thread today as I eat my lunch, which is a baked sweet potato topped with some of my "batch cooked slop" (pumpkin chili). According to some posters this is a meal that isn't good enough for people on snap. Eye roll...

ALSO have you guys seen those "[b]ebt haul"[/b] videos? Most people on SNAP/EBT seem to have a working kitchen even if they don't use it. A refrigerator, an oven, and likely a microwave and a few other appliances. [/quote]

You seem a gullible sort

I don't watch any kind of "haul" videos, even the consumer ones

They are all clickbait, for those that want to waste time. Just because you have seen a haul video doesn't mean you have seen the reality of most people on SNAP.

Walk around your city. I'm sure you will meet real people who need SNAP to survive.

I knew a ton of people on ebt when I worked in restaurants. They all had functioning kitchens with ovens, freezers, microwaves, pots and pans etc. [/quote]

Do you think they were scamming the system, since they get SNAP?[/quote]

Well, PP?

All these people you knew

Were they scamming the system or did they really need a hand to feed themselves or their families.

You knew them. You should have a sense about this.

They needed help AND they also had access to full kitchens with ovens, refrigerator, freezer etc  Two things can be true. From what I saw they did use their kitchens to cook and did in fact avail themselves of smart use of freezer space, getting frozen veggies and stocking up on meat when it went out sale. [/quote]

People find it much easier to assume those on help are spendthrifts and incapable because it lets them think they could never find themselves in the same position.

The truth is that any of the SAHMs flexing on this forum could find themselves in the same position very quickly if their meal ticket dies or runs off. Poverty isn’t contagious. You don’t catch it by acknowledging it. [/quote]
