Like I've said, EBT needs to be changed into a system where all recipients can purchase is raw ingredients. Flour, sugar, yeast, chicken thighs, chicken drumsticks, chicken breasts, 80% lean hamburger meat, milk, eggs, corn meal, etc. This would also reduce the ability to trade food for drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. How many drug dealers would take 50 lbs of flour or 10 lbs of cheap hamburger meat in exchange for meth?
Don't know how to cook? You better learn. Not only will you be fed but you'll learn a marketable skill so you can get a job.
Being poor is supposed to suck. At least with this system they're fed but not comfortable so there's some incentive to get off EBT.
