Re: Welfare in America

[anonymouslyyours]

I don't know how accurate this is but currently I've been coached to tell irate customers that SNAP doesn't pay for the tax on hot food items that can be eaten in-store. Previously we were told to state it was an FDA regulation.

But SNAP pays for redbull, gum, and stuffed teddy bears with candy canes attached so I'm not all that sure they've completely locked down the definition of food over there. Not to mention those items also incur taxes that somehow don't show up once foodstamps are run.

*I'm not saying SNAP should go all WIC style and restrict foods (dear god am I not saying that, as someone who works a lot as a cashier that sounds like a fucking nightmare) just that if they're going to let people buy gum and teddy bears they can let them have a bbq chicken sandwich.

You know, I don't care what people buy with food stamps, or what the program allows, but I kind of always wonder who the hell decided that gum counts as food.

Red Bull is a beverage, you could argue that the bear is part of the packaging on the candy cane, but... Gum? You don't even eat it! You spit it! Well, okay, you can eat it, but I don't think many people do. If you're going to cover gum, why not toilet paper? Or soap? Especially since you can already buy baking soda, the bulk of which seems to get used for non-food purposes.

Oh, and the bear thing made me curious... Can you buy a Pez dispenser with SNAP?

Re: Welfare in America

The Red Bull mostly confuses me because food stamps doesn't cover at least one other energy drink brand (I can't recall which) and none of those energy shots. And I mean, technically beer is a beverage... Better lobbyists?

My store doesn't carry any pez dispensers so I don't know. I do know they cover those little candy fans so probably.

The closest thing I have to explaining the gum is that you can pick up two or three calories from a piece of gum but none from toilet paper. Of course you can say that and more about multivitamins which aren't covered?

OT cool fact that basically saved my family when we were on food stamps - you can buy food producing plants and seeds!

Re: Welfare in America

...That explains a lot! I once watched my boyfriend's sister and her friend get in to an argument about whether energy drinks are covered, and they came to a conclusion that fell somewhere between "depends on the store" and "dunno lol." I always just put it down to them not being the sharpest knives, so it's interesting to know that it's on a brand-by-brand basis!

Beer and vitamins are both more like food than gum will ever be! And I knew about the seeds. I think that's really nifty. :)

The .gov page explains energy drinks this way:

When considering the eligibility of energy drinks, and other branded products, the primary determinant is the type of product label chosen by the manufacturer to conform to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines:

Energy drinks that have a nutrition facts label are eligible foods

Energy drinks that have a supplement facts label are classified by the FDA as supplements, and are therefore not eligible
