Here’s the scam:
Alot of the soft drinks are resold to two bit gas stations in the hood. Converts SNAP to cash, and the gas station owners pay less to stock their shelves....and ghost inventory probably helps at the end of the month when they shield cash transactions from the tax man.
“Refugees” receive food stamps too, right? Gotta get your Halal meats!!!
Last year’s news recycled by mom and posted already here.
How things have changed since I was a kid. We grew up poor, and a soft drink was a treat, like maybe once a month. But we ate good and had clothing and other necessities. Real poor people were skinny with ragged clothes.
Today? Poor are fat, good clothes, toys, drugs, booze, etc. These jackals need to be made to work for their welfare goodies.
There’s footage of arabs loading up on drinks to resell at their store.
A good percentage of food stamps are sold for cash to buy drugs.
So easy to fix, hope Trump does.
Clearly food stamps should be limited to nourishing food. Sodas, bottled teas, candy, cakes, cookies, and other desserts should be ineligible. Anything with 0 calories, such as bottled water, coffee, and tea should be ineligible.
Most chips and dips have at least some nourishment, but are generally a very poor value for the money spent, so they could be dropped too.
Instructional guides should be given to food stampers that teach them how to get the best caloric and nutritional value from their funds. This would include how to use the nutritional labels required on food and evaluate food by calories and grams of protein per dollar. There should plenty of recipes with rice, beans, and bacon.
In fact, there should be a required nutritional test that people need to pass to be eligible for food stamps.
Regarding soda sales, I've read of convenience store owners getting sodas with food stamps and then reselling them, but this surely can't be widespread enough to make a small portion of overall soda sales.
People on food assistance should have their food delivered. Mostly k-rations and prison loaf.
And that’s just the soda.
That doesn’t include the rest of the junk food they buy with the food stamps.
Welfare needs to be ABOLISHED, completely and totally.
The church should be taking care of those in need, which is NOT the same as supporting those who are too lazy to get off their fat behinds and work for a living.
There needs to be accountability for those who are accepting help from others and having local organizations like churches do it, does that.
And hunger is a great motivation to work. Nobody is guaranteed food on their table and a roof over their heads to be provided to them free of charge simply for the fact of existing.
What happened to commodities?
Not good enough for them?
Nope. They expect me to work my ass off to give them better than I can afford for my own family.
