    What fuck you talking about, I am on Snap no I can’t buy McDonald’s with it, and fucking No you shouldn’t be allowed to. McDonald’s is horrible for you and snap should be used for healthy food.

      Ok, so we agree. I don’t know what you are angry about. Do you realize that this story is about THIS state, that DOES allow people to buy Mcdonald with snap? And the lawmaker is trying to change it.

      So why are you angry? The lawmaker is introducing a bill that agrees with your sentiments. Did you read the article? Or even the title, “Republican seeks to ban food stamps at McDonald’s”

          Nah, I am agreeing with you that people should NOT be able to buy McDonalds with snap benefits. And the lawmaker is trying to keep people from doing that as well.

          The other people in this thread are trying to say it’s ok to buy Mcd with snap. But I don’t think it should be allowed. And most states don’t allow it.

            Right Texas just made it so you can’t buy soda pop with food stamps and I am okay with this too.

              Me too. Not only is it unhealthy, but a lot of money could be saved by the families by buying basics. So it’s healthier for them, and helps them stretch meal out further. We def need to bring a variation of home ec back to schools so that boys and girls can learn to cook and budget. We’re beginning to have a whole generation of people who just don’t know how to save money and be healthy.
