Brooke Rollins: "We're now requiring every retailer that accepts the EBT card, the food stamps, the SNAP program, they now have to double their stocking standards ... before you could say you were stocking protein, but it was beef jerky. So we're closing those loopholes."

What they are doing is making it impractical and costly for retailers to be able to accept SNAP so they will stop doing it to starve SNAP recipients. Thats what this is about. A good laugh for the sociopathic Brooke Rollins of the word at hunger and suffering.

Rollins: And for some reason, I just can't get this jerky out of my mind. I don't know if you understand how important this is, how much money has been wasted on jerky over the Obama and Biden administations. We have to stop this corruption.

MAMDANI: "I'm gonna open up a grocery store in the food desert even if the gov't has to run it." KKKRISTOFASCISTS: "Oh yeah? Well, we're going to rejigger the SNAP benefits rules to bankrupt every small grocery store and bodega we possibly can. to expand the food deserts."

The only stores that will provide what they want will be the ones owned by the pedophiles rich friends. People on limited income will be forced to shop at those stores. More cash for his crooked buddies. Small owner operated stores will lose business and risk bankruptcy.

Dietitian here. Jerky is indeed protein. Complete protein. Dried meat, salmon, venison, etc still protein. Prunes and raisins? Still fruit folks. 🤡 running the govt. 🤦‍♀️

Buried the lede a bit here - "Only 1 in 4 of every military aged individual can pass the military fitness exam". It's not about health, it's about maintaining the supply of cannon fodder for forever wars.

The problem 'they' see is 'poor people' your know, 'the people' taking 'tax payer money' away from corporations, billionaires.

I honestly think every person on this administration gets up in the morning and chooses between the following questions: What can I do/say today that shows I’m incompetent, cruel, and corrupt? OR What do I need to do to save my ass from getting fired?

Which will only result in those retailers dropping support. The government knows that most of those stores can't meet those requirements, either financially or physically, actual space for increased stock.

The president’s blowing billions of dollars with a B on a completely pointless war but yeah sure lets pretend people getting beef jerky is something resembling an issue

Demanding retailers to carry out changes overnight without providing logistical support is not a solution. It’s setting them up for failures, which for sure will be used as an excuse to further dismantle any programs that help regular working families.

Does she REALLY not know that beef jerky is made from? The willful ignorance, performative lying, gaslighting, and absolute lack of curiosity to learn their fucking job is a hallmark of the worst admin in maybe our country's history. We may never recover.

Just curious..how does the company that make these drinks feel about ole Brooky here taking money away from their shareholders capital..just 🤔 wondering Maybe instead of banning it put a limit on it!

I can say with a straight face that I’m okay with my tax dollars being used by poor folks to buy sugary drinks while our own President gets a billion dollars for a ballroom.

So home schooled kids take physical education? Love how she makes the ACA sound like national healthcare coverage. Like the government is footing the entire bill. So long as citizens pay a premium they should drink whatever sugary drink they want. And wash it down with a Slim Jim.

Nothing like rich people telling poor people to eat better. Tell the fat pig welfare queen in the oval to lead by example. McDonald’s for billionaires, but not for the poor.

It is evil to conspire to reduce the number of places that hungry people can find food. Prepared foods are not allowed because that is too good for hungry people, they should have the burden of having to pay for cooking materials. If you think poor hungry people have it too good, you are evil.

Isn't the stuff in convenience stores loaded with sodium though? Actual beef jerky is great. The stuff that poor people have access to, I'm not so sure. That being said, this isn't going to fix that. It's just going to make things worse.

This person is insane! Dried meat has been protein for thousands of years. The indigenous peoples of the Plains made pemmican, a mix of beef tallow, meat and berries. This traveled well and kept them nuorished

I think they just needed a new food to pick on and chose at random. The idea that some foods do not count as food and thus people who buy them with government assistance are being fraudulent is used to justify starving the poor but it's never been logical.

Side note, this is a huge propaganda win for the right btw. There was a hit country song ostensibly about evil elites that had a line bitching that fat people are legally allowed to eat snacks. The USA is a madhouse.

SNAP eligible food cannot be heated/cooked. This is not a health concern but a larger push by the right to eliminate any kind of prepared food for people who need this assistance to force them to buy raw foods that need preparation when they are likely working constantly to make ends meet.

It’s food for the poors and the blacks, so it’s bad. Literally that that’s it. Slaves used to be fed the parts of the animal that weren’t in high demand. African-Americans turned things like ribs and wings into delicacies. Dried is a human staple for at least 90,000 years. MAGA are idiots.

I have celiac so rarely risk eating in a restaurant I am not familiar with. Beef jerky and protein bars are always in my purse when I’m travelling. Although I understand it’s processed and high in sodium, it fills in perfectly when 100% gluten free is not available.

This is spin meant to conceal further limits on SNAP. In rural food deserts, convenience stores are the only food retailers for miles. They operate on thin margins. They won't participate in SNAP if it requires stocking more fresh food items, so the poor won't have anywhere to go even if they get it
