What is next?

Farmers markets also sell non food items. I guess EBT pays for those too.

Great. Poor people now have greater access to fresh produce.


Please tell me WHO is being HURT by the Farmers Market accepting food stamps? Certainly not the people selling PRODUCE, as they are still getting PAID.

My thoughts too... And I am sure that the rules of what one can or cannot buy with an EBT card will remain the same also. What's the harm?

Don't agree with the principle of it . It's like ..what's next? Business owners should be able to decide what forms of payment they accept, not for be forced to do it.

There is nothing wrong with accepting EBT cards.. The business still gets paid whatever price their product is. I personally think this is great because it offers more accessibility of healthy foods to food stamp recipients. Businesses would make more revenue actually.

Business will get more revenue and ultimately have more customers. More people will have better foods. With people eating better, it means they are less likely to have strokes or heart attacks and end up on SSI.
