Does Amazon participate? This sounds like the sort of project Jeff Bezos would support through the Washington Post.
Easy enough to game the system as it is. Once it gets online it will be a nightmare.
Lobster and caviar delivered!
Something tells me that it won’t be used to order quinoa and arugula online.
The Poor can play video games all day on their computers and take a break to order their free SNAP cards. America...what a country! Until the money runs out and the USA can’t make the payments on its insane debt.
Food Stamps is a program that is crying out to be abolished by the Trump Administration.
Oh, good, I was so concerned that EBT users were wasting too much of their precious time driving to the grocery store to spend my tax dollars.
Can’t wait to see the first grocery-laden drone land in the ‘hood.
Another reason why conservatives should promote and push for the bankruptcy of Fed.gov
The notion of “food desert” is (like “poor”) problematic.
A major definition includes living more than one mile from a grocery store. Really? If you can’t walk 20 minutes with your own cheap grocery cart, distance & food isn’t your problem. My mother & I did more than that regularly when I was under age 9.
Most people don’t live in a desert because there’s insufficient food there. MOVE. Yes it can be done - if being in a “food desert”is a problem, then act like your life depends on it and get out!
Good idea. You know it is hard for large overfed rear ends to get off the couch. Plus not going out won’t cut into TV time.
Hey why not? We let them have a cash stipend that goes to lottery tickets, weed and weaves, so why not this too?
Want to be able to spot a heroin dealer? He is the really “healthy” looking guy who is buying steaks and shrimp on other peoples EBT card, traded for heroin.
We know where this is going. EBT cards to be used for online gambling and porn in 5...4...3...2....
And then the Libs will discover that Children are going hungry again.
Efforts to pare back EBT and SNAP are strongly opposed by the crony business-political systen to keep billions in consumer demand injected into our sick economy
I was in Smart and Final yesterday when a single lady had four 24 count cases of soft drinks in her basket. They were on sale. I was shocked to find her paying for it with an EBT Food Stamp debit card. She was not going to use that for food, she was going to sell it on the street, at minimum doubling her money and game the system. I suspect she was also an illegal alien. Like anything free, people will find a way to take advantage of it.
MAKE Americans work again. No assigned community service, no eatie.
More like online Food Desserts....

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that the states have never delated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for food stamp purposes.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So the unconstitutional, post-17th Amendment ratification, vote-winning federal food stamp program needs to be shut down until the Constitution’s Article V state supermajority should decide to amend the Constitution to authorize the feds to tax and spend for such a purpose.
In the meanwhile, note that the states have always had the 10th Amendment-protected state power to tax and spend for their own food programs.
In fact, consider that the states would probably easily find the funding to run their own food programs, along with many other things on their to-do list, if they put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes which Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional inteference in state affairs as evidenced by the unconstitutional federal food stamp program.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
Why do we Even Need Food Stamps, Hillary says she will put a Taco Truck on every corner.
Who is going to pay for delivery of said food items?
Companies like Peapod charge for delivery service.
Hooray another way to cheat the government.
Another way to cheat your EBT card and let your kids go hungry. Relax another plea to feed the hungry (obese)kids, is around the corner.
