Rice is very cheap, a chicken thigh is maybe $1, and as noted, some fruits and veggies are also quite cheap. Heck, at $9 or less per day, a single person could spend under $270 in the month and have $130+ left to sell off their EBT card at 50 cents on the dollar, leaving them an $65 in cash.
I must say, that your typical stereotyped and systemic canned response, and with all due respect to the memories of Rob Reiner, but your Archie Bunker take on SNAP recipients coupled with your justification of a clueless Agriculture Secretary's sheer ignorance, was done so with the utmost kindness, love and with sheer and utter politeness!
As they say, its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice! Right?
