my point here is people who get food stamps should be allowed to buy hot food.
anyone who gets food stamps has to buy cold food which is harmful with people who have no ability to cook food or no access to a stove.
please on your show advocate and promote this bill.
H.R.3519 — 118th Congress (2023-2024)
Hot Foods Act of 2023
This bill expands the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to permit the use of SNAP benefits to purchase hot foods or hot food products ready for immediate consumption.

Great point! The hot food limitation is weird. How and when did that become a thing anyway? At the very least, it’s outdated. People use warm foods, like a rotisserie chicken, all the time, to help make cooking faster. There’s judgement in it too, like you’re expected to live a certain kind of life. There’s inconsistency too. That’s why I mention the rotisserie chicken. Some say “yes”, others “no” but who decides? Why put that pressure on people? Why empower onlookers to judge? Government needs to help people meet their needs their way and stop the hoop-jumping.
