After eighteen Republican states barred SNAP recipients from buying “unhealthy” foods, we better not find any of those MAGA farmers buying candy bars with those Trump welfare checks.

Personally, I'd let the people buy anything in the store.
I got into an argument with a Lady I know about the above.
I told her "So, the Tax-Free institutions and churches and such certainly have more money (From not paying taxes)"
"With that extra money..are THEY allowed to buy candy and treats?"
She didn't say anything
