They could eat for much less than that. Again, why should the taxpayer be subsidizing luxury spending? Junk food is a luxury.

Whataboutism. Two things can be true at once.
It's not worth my time.
That reflects on you, not me.
Like I legitimately just want the system to be more efficient lol. It must be hard for you to talk to people?
Junk food is popular for many reasons. Beyond “tasing good”, most of it is readily accessible, requires no prep, and is calorie dense. It certainly lacks nutrients, but it does keep people going.
I know any people take this for granted, but knowing how to prepare food from scratch is a skill. It takesa time, it takes effort, it takes knowledge that some people simply don’t feel they have.
The whole point of EBT is to keep people fed. If they are eating junk food and not maximizing their nutritional value to your satisfaction that’s fine because they’re still eating.
All prepared food is banned in ND for EBT. Meaning you can’t order Taco Bell through door dash.

The poors aren’t the ones screwing you.
