Stop EBT from being abused.

Created by L.C. on February 17, 2013

I propose that EBT no longer pays for items such as Chips, Snacks, Snack cakes, Sodas, Ice Cream, Candy, anything that isn't real food. There is NO reason tax payers should pay for these for others. EBT is supposed to get you food you can't afford, not your snack fix.

I am quite tired of being grouped with the people that buy a cart full of these things and not real food, then they complain they don't get enough. I have seen people get $200+ and just fill their cart with snacks and nothing else.

EBT should ONLY be used for real foods especially if you are using EBT for kids. They do not need all these treats. It should help put food on the table only.
