The cards vary by state but are pretty distinctive. I notice them all the time. What disturbs me is what is allowed to be purchased.
The Shell station where I get my gas has a sign that says "We accept EBT" Now honestly, who needs to subside someone buying $3.50 slices of pizza or other overpriced junk food?
Or a bucket of overpriced prepared KFC chicken vs cheap chicken from the supermarket?
Food stamp use is on the rise, so are the square footage of supermarket freezers for frozen prepared food. Not a coincidence.
