How about because a few people using food stamps to buy steak or lobster have zero effect on the price.
The price of beef is driven by things like the cost of feed and transportation to bring it to market. Lobster availability, shelf life and transportation.
If you don’t like the food stampers getting steak and lobster because you can’t afford it just say so. You don’t have to try to think up a reason. :-)
It’s not just a few that are buying steak and lobsters on other peoples dime it’s the vast majority.
With over 45 million getting some kind of food assistance even if it was just 25% it makes a difference in the price.
It’s called supply and demand.
It wouldn’t matter if I was the richest person on the face of the planet, people eating on someone else’s dime aren’t entitled to eat steak and lobster.
