Seems like im posting about SNAP/EBT a lot this month.
More data showing that this program should probably be completely rebuilt and all of the changes to allow buying things like junk food/soda/candy..etc. should be reversed immediately.
Got to love that clickbait title though. No one you would tell this to would be shocked. I bet if you did a man-on-the-street and asked 200 people maybe 10 would be shocked.

From the post:
>An alarming study has spotlighted how 42 million food stamp recipients spend their welfare handouts on ultra-processed junk food.
Coca-Cola, Sprite and other soft drinks are the most commonly-bought items via the $135 billion-a-year Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a new study says.
Candy, potato chips, frozen pizza, ice cream, cookies, and other ultra-processed food dominates the top 20 items, says a report from the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC).
