I Wish SNAP Let Me Buy “Real Food,” Not Just Survival Food

I can’t imagine being fortunate enough to have access to free food and complaining about restrictions on what you can and cannot buy. You have a job and get free groceries. You can’t scrape together enough cash to buy your own $9.00 sushi box?

what do you mean "real food" since when is milk, bread, cheese, meat, fish and vegetables not real food.

I can't imagine what you consider real food! SNAP allows you to buy the same nutritious food everybody else can buy. Meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, bread, etc. Most people are grateful.

If you're on SNAP, why is Sushi deemed ideal. SNAP isn't for designer or junk food. Spend your money wisely, like non-recipients must do.

learn to cook then . your grandparents never had the luxury of eating junk food or going to a fast food restaurant to eat

Kill the EBT. Make SNAP recipients go to a food bank each week and get a box of essentials. Thats it.

So buy one with your Mcds money. Is this for real?

I m sure some people will give you that look for buying luxury items on snap. Taxpayers fund all govt programs. I understand you would enjoy some luxury items, most everyone would I'm sure. I m on Social Security. I ve lived most of my life being thankful for what I have, not worrying about what I don't have. Making sure your children have decent meals is what the programs are all about. Search your heart and mind ,,, are those items really worth being upset over?? Being happy with what you have will bring inner peace. PRAYERS

Oh, you wanna buy all the treats like sushi and stuff. Well you know the working class taxpayers and the working poor they don’t get to enjoy that because they’re too busy trying to put food on your ungrateful table and feed your kids you chose to have.

Oh no, I can't buy sushi on SNAP the world's coming to an end. Learn to cook.
