In reply to the discussion: Trump wants to decide which food SNAP recipients get [View all]Akoto
(4,266 posts)19. Yeah, no. I receive SNAP because I'm physically disabled. There's no reason I can't choose my food.
Not to mention, what if people are allergic to the packages they select for us? What if we have reasons that we can't eat these foods? Peanut butter is out for me (allergy), milk is out (lactose intolerant), can only eat certain fruits and vegetables.
This one would see me to my Congressperson, even if I have to hobble over there in person.

We have to stop pretending we are surprised when they purposely try to kill us.
