Of course, just limiting EBT purchases to only ‘healthy’ foods would be far too simple.

EBT card holders know how to ‘manage’ their card to buy cigs. Maybe barter with ‘good’ food, or at store who doesn’t care.

Fruits, vegetables and basic cooking ingredients would be the way for EBT to go. Will never happen though ....

I was behind a person not long ago whose cart contained only MEAT. Mostly steaks, chops, and roasts. Paid for by EBT of course.

Or, you could get rid of EBT cards and give these people a sack of groceries in exchange for some work each day...now that is radical thinking!
