I didn’t say shrimp was steak and lobster.

I said shrimp was shrimp.

What I did say I often see people buying steak and lobster tails with EBT.

I used shrimp as another example of what the welfare trash shouldn’t be buying on someone else’s dime.

You’re problem is you try and put words in peoples mouths to make your point because you can’t make your point without distorting what other people say.

I didn’t say welfare trash was living on steak and lobster only as you imply. They also buy nice big pork roast, ground sirloin, center cut pork chops, and anything else they want with their EBT.

People eating on someone else’s dime don’t need to be eating high on the hog.

It’s not going to hurt them in the least little bit to learn how to eat cheaper cuts of meat.

You can make a hell of a lot of chicken stew for the price of one steak.

Well I just think you have not given any statistics that show any percentage of EBT people buy steak and lobster. You just want to blame the high price of steak and lobster on EBT people because some loony legislator is saying it.

If you have a study or govt statistics that show 25% of EBT people are gorging on steak and lobster then put it up for all of us to see. My understanding is that the legislator has no proof to show either. Its a myth. Just speculating about things doesn’t make it true.

The actual real studies that are in existence that I know about say that poor people eat cheap food that is high in carbs and fat and sugar which is why you see so much obesity.

I’m not putting words in your mouth. I’m just challenging the words that are coming out of your mouth with zero statistics to back it up. That’s all. I personally have seen no evidence that any significant amount of EBT card users are gorging on steak and lobster. None at all.
