  Or if they pay rent for a regular place too.....

  If you get $50 in EBT, why would the .gov let you spend that money on 10oz of cheese for $7, rather than say, 3-4 lbs for the same price? Why would the .gov let you spend money meant for food on alcohol and tobacco?

  The Congress can place whatever limitations on it that it wants...that does not mean it is still not demeaning and condescending to treat teh p00rz like they can't make proper choices for themselves. It is what it is.

  Not necessarily. Landlords don't have to provide appliances in Ohio. Section 8 and Voucher landlords are required to provide appliances.

  Yeah but most people have an oven. Again, I don't have data but I'd be very surprised if a large percentage of people on EBT didn't have a stove/oven.

  what the fuck is "teh p00rz"?
  
  and it's not demeaning and condescending. It's merely the .gov maximizing the benefits they can provide.

  because ovens and cooking gear is expensive. It costs us more to buy a cold chicken and prepare it the way we like as opposed to purchasing a prepared one at the market, and that ignores the upfront cost of the gear. My guess is that most EBT recipients don't have viking ovens, le creuset (or however you spell it) roasting pans and the means to purchase olive oil and spices to properly cook a bird. And then you have to wash the pan. It isn't easy to roast a chicken - you don't just throw it in the oven - and that assumes the recipients own an oven that actually works. Plus with a prepared bird it comes with its own container that you can put in the fridge. If you cook your own you have to purchase another container for leftovers - and then have to clean the container.

  LOL, Or you could just throw a chicken breast on a pan on the standard stove available in your average low income apartment.

  The majority of people on EBT qualify for at least vouchers, so right, most probably do have said appliances.

  One if you count Wal-Mart. How many have you been to?
  
  Although, I've been to parts of Mexico that are definitely Third World-like. Also, the Red Light District in Aruba ranks right up there.

  Most apartments I've looked at have appliances anyway and none of them have been Section 8 or vouchers. I've never known anyone who didn't have a stove regardless of income level.

  Complexes are not designated by section 8 or vouchers. It's just a form of payment that the landlord accepts, and the housing authority has to inspect the place once per year to ensure that the guidelines are met. You have probably looked at plenty of complexes that accept it.
  
  I know a few guys with rentals (mainly duplexes or quads) that require the renter to provide their own appliances. They do not accept section 8 or vouchers.

  Ah maybe, I'm not really informed on Section 8 or vouchers. I know what they are vaguely but don't know details since I've never needed to look into them for myself.

  You quoted sleeper, saying the post was retarded is redundant.

  I looked at accepting vouchers at some of my properties, but the inspections are intrusive and you can only collect so much on damages. The housing authority is only bonded to like $2k per unit

  Either way whether it's because they live in Section 8/voucher accepting places or just because most people tend to have one I think we can agree that people on EBT likely have a stove/oven to cook on.

  I can totally see the reasoning behind buying a block of cheese instead of pre-sliced cheese. Cutting something up is a lot different than all of the work that goes into roasting a chicken. It really is a good amount of work. The pre-cooked ones are much easier and are really versatile. I don't understand the harm in them being allowed. If someone decides that an extra dollar or two are worth it because of the hassle, so be it.

  What a well thought out logical response. Tell me, how many poor people went to college, stayed out of jail, worked their whole life, and had children in wedlock? Very few.
  
  Now how many poor people pop out babies before 18, never go to college, spent time in jail, and never held a job? Many.
  
  Logic is not on your side. : thumbup:

  Walmart being third world is like claiming hot food like hamburger meat can't be bought on an EBT because it needs heated up to eat.

  So....logic equals generalizing an entire group of people as lazy, uneducated delinquents?
  
  They have access to good education, $15 hour entry level positions, and the financial aid necessary to achieve something better in life, but ALL choose not to do that?
  
  That's not even logical

  I said the long run; clearly a term you are unfamiliar with. If poor people were just unlucky across the board, you'd find almost no correlation between the factors I listed above with poverty. Sorry, but reality is, if you are chronically poor you're probably a dumbass who makes consistently poor choices. I don't feel bad for you and I hope your life is as miserable as can be.

  Also your article just proves my point. People with low income make a poor choice not to finish college as well as a poor choice in going to a poor school.
  
  Thanks!

  For all we know, that is the same building, as we can only see the inside of it in the top pic and only the outside in the bottom pic.
  
  Burden of proof is on you!
