Today, the court ordered the November SNAP benefits released. My EBT card finally has money. I went straight to the store. What did I buy? Fresh vegetables? Milk? Chicken? Nope. I bought every can of Spaghetti-O's, every bag of chips, all the instant ramen, and all the soda I could fit in my cart. All the high-calorie, long-shelf-life, zero-nutrition junk. Why? Because this month taught me one thing: the government can, and will, turn off your food supply at any time. I don't care about the "food pyramid." I care that when the politicians start fighting again next month, my kids have calories to eat. I'm fighting their stupid policy with my own. #SNAPLife #Hoarding #PolicyFailure
