Insult and injury on top: If you use EBT for food, you can't buy warm food. Despite deli counter food often being fairly cheap, you aren't allowed to enjoy a nice warm meal. You can't buy a $10 baked pizza, 24 pieces of chicken for $26, or the $5 rotisserie. No, you must always homecook, with all the extra effort and time that requires.

EBT is good, but the richies obviously think that poverty is inherently a sin. The carrot is also a stick, and will be used to paddle the backside of people who aren't "good" in the eyes of the wealthy.

$5 day old rotisserie chicken or $11 for an uncooked chicken and also prep and cooking costs.
