None. Now you have to prove the "consistent and sustained overeating" as it relates to SNAP users compared to the rest......

Gosh you couldn't prove the "overeating" part..... you sure you want to complicate that?

I already have, both via their MUCH higher obesity rate than the poor who DON'T receive food stamps, and this...

The USDA OIG states that 59% of food stamp families are getting duplicate benefits for the exact same meals by simultaneously participating in 2 or more public assistance free food programs:

"...FNS commissioned a study that detailed the extent of multiple participation in four major FNS programs—SNAP, WIC, SBP, and NSLP—for a 4-month period in 2006. The study reported that among the families that participated in at least one of the four major programs, about 41 percent participated in only one, and 59 participated in two or more programs."

59% of families participating in a major FNS public assistance food program participate in 2 or more programs simultaneously, stacking the duplication of free (for them) public assistance food benefits.

Why do they need 2 or more of the exact same meals each day?
