  you can't buy cigarettes or liquor with EBTs
  
  That's because you can only cold, unprepared food groceries with EBT (e.g. no rotisserie chickens). You can't even buy pet food with EBT.
  Funny enough, at Publix this means you can use EBT to buy a cold sub, but not a hot sub.
context: This concept is way overdue at schools. School meals need to nourish kids, not line the pockets of fructose companies. >
  
  But ketchup is a vegetable? >
  
  No, the vegetable was Reagan. >
  
  Yep. That tracks. >
  
  Those pizza slices in the thumbnail aren’t nearly rectangular enough. >
  
  Yes, also GWB started giving her candy at every opportunity. >
  
  Good. 
  Today for breakfast my preschoolers got a honey bun, a package of craisins, orange juice, and a carton of milk. 
  This isn't even the worst breakfast they've had. >
  
  Good grief. The orange juice alone is a sugar bomb. >
  
  It's all good. They'll get diagnosed with ADHD and the Adderall will take care of it. >
  
  I'm not fun at parties, and that's not even remotely close to how ADHD manifests. 
  But they will add onto the trend of insulin resistance in  children. >
  
  I think it is more of a comment on how kids eat a bunch of sugar then get hyper, teacher reports the kid as "disruptive", after a few rounds of this parents take kid to doc, tell the doc what the teachers say, doc writes an rx for Ritalin. >
  
  Yeah that was the idea but sugar doesn't cause hyperactivity. >
  
  Ketchup is a vegetable! 
  Go fight Ronald Reagan's grave if you doubt me. >

  Sugar is the worst part of the American diet. >
  
  Thank you! Tired of seeing sugar candies , Cheezeits, sugar syrup fruit packs and what not. What’s wrong in giving kids a simple banana or apple to eat! Why all this sugary garbage in public schools. >
  
  
  why
  
  Money >
  
  One of the easiest scams to spot and all of our addicted asses can't or won't see it. We love our sugar and salt enough to die for them. >
  
  Let me guess that the School Nutrition Association is gonna fight this tooth and nail. >
  
  Good. Stop trying to turn kids into fruit bats. >
  
  
  trying to turn kids into fruit bats
  
  Globalist Man-Bat conspiracy confirmed. >
  
  Wait a sec there are schools experimentally turning children into fruit bats? >
  
  Great.  
  Unpopular opinion, now, can we restrict EBT cards from being used to purchase goods that almost guarantee obesity, diabetes and heart disease? I'm looking at you, liter sodas, candy bars, etc.  I mean, you can't buy cigarettes or liquor with EBTs, but pure corn syrup, we're apparently okay with that?
  Edit: I should add the underappreciated impact of lobbying by industrial food (corn) producers like Archer- Daniels- Midland, Monsanto, etc can't be overstated in policies like allowing these foods to be subsidized.
