I hope these important EBT farming operations are not affected. It would be terrible if folks on the dole were not able to get free-range organic chicken at $20/lb, or they/them chia seeds from fair-trade Peruvian shamans, etc.

I'm confused. Should people on SNAP only be able to buy 3/$1 ramen and tinned Vienna sausages?
What someone chooses to buy to eat shouldn't matter...their SNAP money is just going to go less far based on their choices.
Also, one of the helpful side benefits of SNAP is "Da Bux" program, where certain local produce is half price using EBT. That can really help get fresh local produce into folk's diets.
