     With inflation going up so high since January, few people are
bothering with fast food. So the various fast food companies lobbied
to get EBT/SNAP benefits to get money.
     The page linked above only shows restaurants in California. But
there are other states that allow it.
     What I don't understand is why people would bother. You can spend
$6.00 on a combo at McDonald's, or get proper steak at Ralphs. And it
would be healthier.
     There will be a short term jump in EBT sales as people try it
out. But I hope those who get the benefits will come to realize how
it's NOT an economical plan. They'll spend their benefits in the early
part of the month, then have no money left and no food.

I'm surprised they allow fast food. But we're talking California, so
maybe I'm not surprised.



NOTICE TO JENNY: please try to post fast food reviews and comments in the future
instead of just repeating your lies over and over.

     Other states are allowing it as well. While I don't think we, the
people, should actually ban those on benefits from being able to get
fast food from time to time, I would like those people to be educated
on the matter. Teach them that fast food will eliminate their benefit
amounts quickly.
     But then the matter becomes how to pay for the teachers and such.
