Healthy food is expensive. Unhealthy, preservative-laden foods are cheaper. Plus poor people often lack access to good grocery stores, along with often suffering from stress, lack of sleep, lack of access to healthcare and many other issues that contribute to poor health which can also lead to obesity.

Basic heathy food is not expensive, nor is it elusive. Next excuse?

The only way to become obese is to consume an excess of calories, continuously, over a long period of time. Hard to buy the narrative we have so many starving people that are 50+ lbs overweight

The reality is a horror show.

Matt Walsh is an @$$ drifter and you are being kept occupied from what is being stolen from you.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t live in a food desert.

Hoping on the bus or train to Trader Joe’s isn’t an option for someone who is already working long days and has a family to care for, so where does one turn? To their local food market or corner store. Not sure if you’ve taken a look at what the family dollar/dollar general is selling, but it’s virtually all processed, but it’s what is available close to home.

In the DC metropolitan area Trader Joe's are plentiful while family dollar/dollar general are only in farther out suburbs. Ironically the three dollar stores that I know of are all in strip malls that also have a TJ's.

EBT is not simply for Dollar General or Trader Joe’s, although the latter has a decidedly greater selection of organic foods, as well as sustainably-sourced and fair-trade foods and products.

EBT is accepted at a wider variety of retail establishments every year.

True. If your Walmart, Safeway, Giant, or Target has its own Starbucks, then:

- you can even use EBT at those Starbucks locations.

I doubt it. Even within a grocery store, EBT does not cover prepared foods. It doesn’t cover everything. And Starbucks would be separate checkout.

wow you sheltered and dumb AF

You are aware that the ballroom was privately funded, right? Private funds means no taxpayer money. You cannot expect them to divert funds donated to the ballroom, and redistribute the money to random Americans.
