  • The SNAP program provides a monthly stipend for low-income families to buy groceries, but it doesn’t pay for hot prepared foods. The exclusion, which dates back decades, was meant to promote home cooking. But critics say it’s outdated and penalizes families that are already struggling to make ends meet, excluding convenient and nutritious options.

    SNAP is a major piece of the U.S. social safety net used by nearly 42 million, or about 1 in 8, Americans to help buy groceries. On average, the monthly benefit per household is about $350, and the average benefit per person is about $190.

    It’s so short-sighted to exclude hot prepared foods from SNAP. So many people don’t have time and consistent access to kitchens where they can cook every meal. I hope this passes.





  • It’s not about the age range - it’s about the step-parent being a parent to a child and then deciding to have a sexual relationship with that person.

    Of course there’s circumstances where a step-parent was never actually in a position where they were parenting their partner’s children and it wouldn’t be as abusive to pursue them after a break up. But that’s the exception to the rule.
