I’d put a poor person’s ability to budget effectively up against a rich person’s ability to budget effectively any day.

Why can you buy food with food stamps?
TheBugDude on
They can, but they dont. But if they wanted to, they should be able to. If its subsidized by my tax dollars, fucking great.
People deserve to feel human, and if a bottle of liquor, a candy bar, or a fuckin lobster tail get you there in an otherwise shitty awful world, great.
Its time we start saying “Fuck you” to these people on the streets.

*gasp* a whole $10???? Jesus these people will complain about anything. That’s kinda cheap compared to meat these days.

How fucking dare anyone on government assistance enjoy anything that’s not the most basic level of poverty food. /s

And she has no problems with Cheetos and Twinkies being covered ?
If they can budget and save for a lobster meal, why not? It’s pretty healthy.

Manufactured consent.
If the fascists make everyone believe that all food stamps go to lobster, then they can cancel all food aid.
Of course, we won’t get any refunds or taxes back. Tax cuts only for the filthy rich, DOGE proved we will never see a penny.

In colonial days, lobster was considered to be garbage meat and only fed to the poor and prisoners

I don’t think the government should even waste time figuring out which foods are ineligible for SNAP. I’m pretty sure alcohol is exempt anyways. Lobster is a healthy protein. Why should a government worker waste time and money to decide which fish are OK and which aren’t

Poor Amy doesn’t realize that in the eyes of the billionaires, there’s minute difference between her and folks on SNAP and that the likelihood she one day joins them is far, far greater than that of her ending up a billionaire.

Also lobster tails for $9.99?! It’s cheaper than asparagus water!

4 lobster tails for $10 is a steal, I’d be stocking up

The average American pays 69 cents a week for SNAP (nice).

First off I don’t even think people who are EBT/SNAP are thinking about buying something like lobster. They are much more concerned with making sure their money last to afford food for an entire family of 3 plus. Second how desperate for confirmation bias must you be that you started looking out for any and all foods to try and find something that goes see, “ah look at what poor people on SNAP/EBT can buy but normal/rich don’t” Like leave them alone and let them enjoy. For a bunch of supposed christian folk yall sure do like trying to shit all over the less unforntuante.

10$ to feed a family of 4 is cheaper than a lot of stuff. Who gives a shit what they buy? They get an allotted amount to spend, I couldn’t care less what food they buy
What’s really dumb is they can’t buy prepared hot food like a rotisserie chicken. That’s a relatively cheap way to feed a family
These are same people who applaud Musk getting Billions in subsides. So richest man PLEASE take my money! But poor family, how DARE you spend 10$ on lobster to feed 4 people!

Do they think that particular lobster tail item is ONLY for SNAP?? Like she can just buy it for 10$ too…
Chimerain on
One thing all of these scumbags always gloss over (or maybe don’t understand because they’ve never been on food stamps themselves) is that the amount of money SNAP recipients receive is laughably small… Average per person is $200, PER MONTH; so, sure- expensive items *could* be bought with your benefits, but only if you’re really dumb enough to blow them all on one meal and then starve for the other 29 days before your benefits re-up.
So, of course no poor person is going to be stupid enough to make that mistake (or at least only make it once) and while these things are eligible (as all fresh produce is) I highly doubt very many people are buying expensive meat and seafood with food stamps in reality.

My ground beef cost almost as much as those lobster tails so wtf are they on about?
InputAnAnt on
Mad at the poor people. Not mad at the corporations that pay a lot of their full time employees so little they have to supplement their income with snap.
IamHal9000 on
Literally who cares. These people think poor people should only eat red beans and rice and all pleasure derived from food should be forbidden. Because they see poor people as less than human and joy from food is one of the best reasons to be alive

Thats such cheap lobster
Turdburp on
Our tax dollars are subsidizing companies like Wal-Mart. If they paid better wages, less people would rely on SNAP benefits.
mchngrliris on
how is spending 10 dollars of snap money on lobster any different than spending 10 dollars of snap money on rice? it’s food.
it’s also funny that the same people freaking out about snap being used to buy organic produce, seafood, or other higher end foods, are the same ones who think snap shouldn’t cover junk food either. like what are people supposed to eat?

She probably also thinks that children on food assistance shouldn’t have birthday cakes, snacks, or treats.
loosebootyjudy_ on
I did twice. Both times it was for my birthday because I don’t like cake like that. And they were on special for $7.99 a piece at my grocery store. I swear these people just want poor folk to suffer and live without any semblance of pleasure or dignity.
JoeSavinaBotero on
Honestly, there shouldn’t be any limit on what foods are SNAP eligible. It’s a waste of administration effort. Let the person buying the food decide. They’re already incentivized to make economical purchase because *of course they are, they’re on food stamps.* And you know what? If a stressed-out poor person decides they want a little treat and can afford it? Let them eat lobster, geez.
