It strikes me as odd that I can buy candy and pop with food stamps. That's not food.
Agree with the rest... but ^^^ is, too, when you’re starving. If you can only eat one thing today? Or this week? Better a candy bar than an apple. Far more calories, and fats/protein in addition to brain saving sugar. Starving folk end up in low blood sugar seizures and comas. Candy has kept me alive more times than I care to think on. That and $1 whoppers. Bless fast food when you’re broke & starving. Super high calorie, so highly processed its absorbs almost instantly (very little energy wasted in digestion), honest to god protein, and dirt cheap.
When you’re not starving? It’s an insult to think that just because people can treat themselves or their kids to something sweet that all poor people are so ignorant as to only eat sweets & rich food.
