the restrictions on SNAP are very weird. the wife worked at 7-11 which accepted it for just about everything in the store except everything that was hot. red bull? ok. coffee? nope. if you bought one of those prepackaged sandwiches, yes. if you wanted them to put it in the grill press? no. SNAP customers weren't even allowed to use the microwave.

the distinction between prepared foods and non-prepared foods was whether it was hot or not.

and the thing that drives me really crazy is that SNAP is probably the biggest subsidy you could possibly give to the agriculture industry and the GOP would prefer to mainline the money directly to them instead of feeding the hungry in the process. they are just driven by spite and seem to have forgotten the guillotine.
