Coca-Cola makes $10 billion per year from Food Stamps

[Marener]

Think whatever you want to about motives. Unlike you I am honest about my positions.

You’ve proven your motives and you’re one of the most dishonest people around.

You’re so dishonest, you don’t even know when you’re lying.

What is the cash option on SNAP?

Unlike SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), which only covers food purchases, EBT Cash gives users the ability to withdraw money and spend it on a wider range of items and services.


I suppose this EBT is Welfare money seperate from FOOD cards? Wow. A full free living. Add in SECT8, utilities help. Free school lunches. Food pantries. Medicaid. Bus passes…..it never ends.

You can not withdraw snap funds via EBT cards

i actually thought Soda was already banned for decades?

If it was not, it should be. Same with shit like cookies and candy

 

[ColonelAngus]

Why is it that federal welfare should be spent on candy and cake and soda?

Because it’s not about them, it’s about satisfying your own indignation. Whether they’re actually helped by any of this isn’t the point. You’re helped. That’s the point.

It isn’t about motives, the motive for all of us should be to look out for the health and welfare of everyone. It is the government’s money, using taxpayer dollars and they have a right to protect their interests and the taxpayers interest. When you are awarded WIC money, from the government, it can only use it on foods with verified nutritional value. When the government gives out housing vouchers, you can’t use them to get into a luxury apartment, when you get a student loan, you can’t go buy a car with it, it is restricted.

The government has a responsibility to protect their citizens. The negative health effects of just one can of soda can lead to the government spending millions later on for healthcare.

This shouldn’t be a political battle and both sides making it one is moronic, it is about what is right for those receiving the funding.

This is the effect of one soda a day:

1. Type 2 Diabetes: One 12-ounce can of soda daily increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by about 26%.
Why? The high sugar content spikes insulin levels, leading over time to insulin resistance.

2. Heart Disease: Daily consumption is linked to a 20% higher risk of heart attack or death from heart disease. Soda contributes to inflammation, high triglycerides, obesity, and high blood pressure.

3. Obesity: Just one can of soda a day can add up to 15 pounds of weight gain per year if calories aren’t offset elsewhere. Liquid sugar doesn’t make you feel full, so you eat more overall.

4. Fatty Liver Disease: Soda contains fructose, which is metabolized in the liver and converted to fat. Daily intake can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

5. Gout: High levels of fructose can raise uric acid, increasing the risk of gout—an extremely painful joint condition.

6. Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer’s Risk: Emerging research links daily sugary drink intake to smaller brain volume, poorer memory, and a higher risk of dementia, especially when paired with metabolic syndrome.

7. Tooth Decay and Cavities: Soda is acidic and full of sugar, creating the perfect storm for enamel erosion and cavities, even with decent dental hygiene.

You assholes don’t give a shit about anyone’s health.

Jesus. Just stop

Being p one believes you

 

[leftwinger]

Why is it that federal welfare should be spent on candy and cake and soda?

What should it buy?
Produce, rice, beans, eggs and milk only?

Kids will tear the house apart. Whars' my Cookies, chips and soda!
Like getting junkies off the needle. No fun for anyone for months.

What a great well thought out emotional dribble, contributed nothing as always, thanks. Now the adults can speak.

 

[leftwinger]

probably should not bring it up but President Trump has a Diet Coke machine in the WH? HE is still going strong at old age. Leon musk said 15 Diet Cokes per day and he is doing OK? for now. lol!

I know. That's' what it said. That is supposed to be the rule for SNAP money w/o fraud.
But they mentioned EBT Cash? huh what is that? Welfare EBT money?

There should be a list.

Certainly not booze. Should not be for sweets and soda. If you want to buy cookies, pay for them. Other people should not pay for your cookies. I don’t mind helping you out with veggies and meat and whatnot while you are down on your luck.Ayuttaya Thai Cuisine

 

[ColonelAngus]

If sweets are essential, how about sex? Welfare should be allowed to used on whores.

It’s easy to exclude booze and cigarettes. It gets much more complicated trying to itemize good and bad allowable foods

 

[leftwinger]

Amazon in on the SNAP EBT setup. Red Bull? WTH?

Of course free Ukraine flags using welfare.

 

[justoffal]

That’s simply not true. The money goes into an account and you use the card

Huh? Yes I know that they sell the card by giving the person the pin number. The person then buys the card for 50 cents on the dollar... Goes into the market that probably doesn't ask for ID and should... By $300, $400 or $500 worth of groceries or whatever is on the card and then when they come back out they give the card back to the original owner.

Criminals also Card-skim on the swipers. They get account number and PIN and make duplicate cards to use. Many are shocked to find Balance = zero when they go to Piggly-Wiggly. GOVT says "we are working on it". Until then, we suggest you login and montior your account weekly. Change your PIN monthly.

Food companies don’t give a shit about the food pyramid. They care about selling food and making profit.

I can see you don't know the first thing about running a business. Having your products over rated by a govt entity in charge of dietary recommendations is a massive boost to your bottom line.

The food pyramid was replaced with the my plate in 2011.

My plate and the food pyramid is essentially the same thing, using colors instead of a pyramid.

The fact that you don’t know this demonstrates how meaningless it is anyway. Almost no one pays attention to this and almost no one follows the guidelines.

What do you think institutions base their menus on? Schools, hospitals, colleges, prisons????? Think for a change.
