you should not survive on a fast food diet it should be an occasional treat and by letting people buy it with EBT cards it allows them to make it a staple of their diet and thanks to various bullshit government subsidies to the corn and meat industries it's not only convenient but also VERY CHEAP

this isn't being mean to the poor this is something that would help the poor by encouraging them to acquire the skills associated with picking out their own ingredients and cooking their own meals vs. buying a double cheeseburger at mcdonalds for dinner everyday
