Point out where I said anyone on SNAP was entitled to luxury/expensive food. I didn't. I said *WE* don't have any business telling others what to do with their food stamp benefits.

Show me a person that's "living high on the hog" with foodstamps. Do you know how poor you have to be to even get an acceptance letter? And even if you do get accepted, do you know how poor you have to be to get a decent monthly amount?

People on food stamps struggle to even buy food that's nutritious. Unhealthy processed food is cheaper and requires less upkeep for those that don't even have somewhere to cook a meal.

You seem incredibly unaware about just how much someone has to go through just to get enrolled in the SNAP program and keep their benefits as long as they need them. You seem incredibly unaware that the requirements to be given foodstamps include having a job unless you have a baby (then they give you WIC instead) or you're legally disabled (which is a whole other process itself).

My piece isn't an arguement for restricting SNAP purchases. I've repeatedly stated that its none of my business or concern. I rather have people buying more expensive food than starve.
