Oh good, you have demonstrated how money is somewhat fungible and therefore any moralizing about what welfare is spent on is a little odd

>SNAP's stated purpose is nutrition

SNAPS purpose is dual, and it was always also about ensuring american farmers had more demand, including for corn syrup. Horrifically, EBT being spent on soda is intentional.

If that bothers you, we can reduce corn subsidies without taking candy from literal children, or keeping poor parents from buying chips.
