Isn't an EBT card not for food? Wasn't it called "Food Stamps" before it was an EBT? What part of a "Big Mac" is not food?
Doesn't Cap‘t D‘s, Burger King, Wendy's, etc. serve food?
I like "Big Macs". My little kids like a "Happy Meal" every once in a while.
Who decided that "Big Macs" aren't food? Some "Government Official"? Yeah, we all know what great decision makers the Government is in out personal lives.
What is wrong with getting a meal that is already cooked? A good, hot, “Big Mac”, large fries, and maybe an apple pie?
Doesn’t it just make economic sense?
I don’t have to take it home and cook it. Cooking food requires electricity. Since I have used McDonalds electricity to cook my meal, I have saved on my utility bill. By saving on my utility bill, that is less money I will need for my “Utility Assistance”.
Then, there are the people who work at fast food joints. Haven’t I contributed to their continued employment by purchasing my “hot meal”? Employed people pay taxes. Taxes go for such things as keeping roads in good shape. School supplies. Defense. Politicians “Retreats”.
Is it for my health that I can’t have a fast food meal on my EBT?
Let’s see here. I can purchase all of the “cold” cholesterol bombs I want to at the Supermarket. Processed liquid cheese that squirts out of a can. Those frozen “cardboard” pizzas with enough “fat” content to warm an Eskimo for a month. Little “White Sugar” donuts. Lard. Frozen “Mexican” dinners, yet I can’t get one of those tasty looking “Bucket-O-Fried Chicken” from the deli...because it is hot? That’s nothing but a difference in “temperature”???
Nope. Can’t be I’m not allowed to get a “Big Mac” for health reasons.
Is it “punishment”? Am I a “sub-citizen”? A “blight”?
If so, why? And to whom? Since when did Americans become so class conscious and so uncaring and unfeeling about their fellow man?
We’ve already hit “hard times”. It’s hard enough not having a job. Seeing the look in your little kids eyes when they get a cold “Lunchable” instead of a good, hot “Happy Meal”. And you can even pull the “toy” out of the “Happy Meal” and save it until Christmas...THUS having to ask for less from “Toys for Tots”.
To all those whining about paying taxes to feed other people, you are going to pay taxes...no matter what. The money either goes to feed people or it will go to something stupid like a projects that never get finished. Padding some politicians pocket. Sending a billion dollars worth of powdered milk to “Gonzmania” for some corrupt dictator to sell and fund his Swiss bank account. Alcohol and “entertainment” for Government parties. Just look at what’s spent on the “Presidential Inauguration Party”.
Would you be silent about this, and yet deny me a “Big Mac”?
I want a “Big Mac”!!!
I'd like to add that regardless if fast food restaurants take EBT or not, people are still gonna get the same amount of money on their foodstamps.
Most of the homeless are not obese so the food choices the Government declares of being bad choices are irrelevant, also why should it be another man's business for another man's food cravings, being homeless and out of work is hard enough in this short life. At least let them enjoy their something without hatred bickering complaining folks . How are they suppose to have hot meals? Throw out a raw steak on the ground and let it sun cook? Have some Mercy on these people, they don't need you standing around trying to make things harder than they already are. Give to them by paying taxes from your heart, at least you will be blessed and rewarded one day by God if you believe in him.
That’s about all I have to say on this issue...I have to prepare my potted meat and catsup omelet , and check out a “Dominos Pizza” box someone tossed in my yard last night. Maybe there’s a piece left...hope it’s pepperoni!
