Letting poor people go hungry would solve all of this.
>tfw your city opened up a grocery outlet store
Not to mention a good portion of them use about 5% of it on food then sell the rest at 25-50% value so they can blow through drugs for a day or two
Or you could just get rid of black and Hispanic people and the issue will solve itself as well as 80% of the rest of the problems in America.
Cerial is such a scam food. Shit is marketed as so healthy when it's among the worst shit you can feed your kids for breakfast.
all

>tfw I'm on food stamps and don't even need it, but I spend it all on healthy food
Gotta use the gibs, y'all could learn a lot from spics, they have way more kids and know how to use the system
America's best change is to send that scum to Canada. Canada is willing to accept every form of degeneracy. In fact, Trudeau would proactively be sending trucks to this scum to Canada.
I grew up in a household that abused the food stamp system. I want it abolished. My mother would routinely lie about her income to milk it for more gibs, and every time she went shopping, she'd come home with crackers, chocolate, cookies, etc. When I hit around 16 and I started to do the shopping, I'd bring home chicken breast, asparagus, etc. (With the food stamp card) She eventually got pissed enough about me not buying enough shit that she didn't let me do the shopping anymore. The most 'unnecessary' items I bought were ribeye steaks and coffee. And even then I was ashamed to go up to the counter. I'd try and hide the food stamp card I was swiping because I hated the fact that I was spending other people's money. I've seen first hand how badly the system is abused, and now that I'm on my own and paying for her terrible shopping with my taxes, I want it gone. Fucking hated it then, hate it now.
>Be spic
>6 kids
>Spend your gibs on three chips ahoy

>All of it
>Implying
>Just fed your kid their daily calorie requirement
>They got fucking morbidly obese because all they ate was chips ahoy
That's not how physics or human biology works. Are you dumb?
You're better off subsidizing soup kitchen kind of thing where poor people can eat their meals. Food stamps are always gonna be abused.
In the Netherlands we have food banks where people can get pre-selected food items. What happens is that normal people come to these food banks to get food, and just throw away the food items they don't like.
People will always abuse these good intention systems.
It is a scam created to make people more dependent on the government, with the premise that there would be little to no abuse of it. Coincidentally, food stamps started around the time heavily processed foods were pushed on the average American consumer. Prior to this the community had a food bank or the church would hand out donations.
Because junk foods items are eligible and people are fucking stupid a conundrum is created. In the United States, our poor and supposedly "poverty stricken" are obese. That is the reality we live in. Thanks to Obama, our health care is subsidised by the tax payer. So not only do you pay for the poor to get fat, you pay for their inevitable health crises that come with being obese and eating processed foods for most of their existence.
Yes, the system is fucked. I am convinced only two things can save us. Meteor, or full 1488 levels of purging of our government.
There was a plan to introduce top-up cards for people on benefits and the idea was to use the card system so you could block the buying cigarettes, alcohol and junk food.
People went ballistic and it was scrapped. I thought it was a fucking great idea.
It's also a massive ripoff and milk is just a waste of dairy calories when cheese exists.
Fuck cheese.
Welfare should be abolished anyway and all social workers and socialists turned into fertilizer. This was a mistake.

most poor people wouldn't be poor if they knew how to spend money well
And yet they don't spend MY money well, which is what pisses me off.
“Junk Food” & Luxury Items
The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (the Act) defines eligible food as any food or food product for home consumption and also includes seeds and plants which produce food for consumption by SNAP households. The Act precludes the following items from being purchased with SNAP benefits: alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, hot food and any food sold for on-premises consumption. Nonfood items such as pet foods, soaps, paper products, medicines and vitamins, household supplies, grooming items, and cosmetics, also are ineligible for purchase with SNAP benefits.
Soft drinks, candy, cookies, snack crackers, and ice cream are food items and are therefore eligible items
Seafood, steak, and bakery cakes are also food items and are therefore eligible items
Since the current definition of food is a specific part of the Act, any change to this definition would require action by a member of Congress. Several times in the history of SNAP, Congress had considered placing limits on the types of food that could be purchased with program benefits. However, they concluded that designating foods as luxury or non-nutritious would be administratively costly and burdensome. Further detailed information about the challenges of restricting the use of SNAP benefits can be found here:
Live Animals
Generally live animals and birds are not eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits. Live seafood such as lobsters, fish and shellfish may be purchased with SNAP benefits
>want to buy soda and oreos?
We acknowledge it's junk, but the government will pay
>want to buy lobster or steak?
We realize it's a luxury item, but the government will pay
>want to buy a cost-effective chicken for breeding, meat, and eggs?
Get the fuck out of here.
You realize that the taxes for tese programs is about 30 cents a month right?
Here's a fun fact. Nutritionists recommend eating nothing for breakfast over than cereal now. The whole "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was never grounded in fact, and was just a ploy to shove sugar down kids' throats.
Here's the redpill:
1. The best thing you can do is eat protein/fat like an egg. The protein will make you satiated and the fat will keep your energy up until lunchtime. I eat protein bars for breakfast because I'm lazy. Not perfect by any means, but way better than cereal.
2. Fasting for breakfast will make you live longer. It's a little tough to have that kind of willpower and also be able to focus until lunch, but it has amazing health benefits.
3. With cereal sugars, you will crash an hour or two later and it will make you fat. Surprisingly, it's not fat that makes you fat. It's sugar. You can consume a lot of sugar easily, but not so much fat, and sugar gets converted to fat very easily.
You realize healthcare is making the government go broke and the poor using emergency rooms then skipping the bill raises your health insurance bill astronomically right?
You realize I'd rather buy myself a piece of gum than pay for some nigger's obesity having t, who will then cost me god knows how much money in Medicaid bills that were fully preventable?
Calm down there storm cuck. Our constitution requires that we pay for these things. You should take your issues up with our first president John Hanson, a black man. That's right, George Washington was NOT the first president.
This.
I've been intermittent fasting for 2 years to keep weight off and it gets easy after a few weeks. Sometimes I go 20-24 hrs without eating if I have a busy day. Best thing for it: Its the lazy mans diet. Just skip breakfast.
>it has amazing health benefits.
Care to expand on that?
Here's something, hot foods are not allowed with bridge card, but cold food is. At my local supermarket, you cannot buy a hot chicken, but the same cooked item chilled to fridge temp is elegible.

He can't because it's just another meme.
In California you can get restaurant privilege if you're old, disabled or homeless. 194 a month for jack in the box and dennys
>live in poorer sections of city
>use public transit because you're too poor to own a car
>local store goes out of business because of rising prices and lower wages
>need to either take 2-3 multiple hour long trips to actual closest grocery store each week or walk down block to gas station that sells premade shit and takes your stamps too
