The decided to change the name to CalFresh to avoid negative stigma and begin allowing fast-food
I guess in California buying food at the grocery store is just not good enough.
Los Angeles and San Francisco also have a wide variety of restaurants that allow EBT.
I guess the state of California prefers people spend $10 on a 3/4 pound chesseburger and mega large french fry and onion ring combo as opposed to $10 of fresh produce at all the super cheap grocery stores they have scattered throughout the area.
So much super-cheap produce in California and places that have bulk-selection items that $10 of fast food could buy a basket of produce.
A California family of a husband and wife and 3 kids can get up to $9,200 a year in CalFresh to buy fast food if they want.

"The California Restaurant Meals Program allows eligiblehomeless, disabled, and/or elderly (ages 60 and above) CalFresh benefit recipients to use their CalFresh benefits to purchase hot, prepared food from participating restaurants."
And that's the problem right there. Pretty much anything qualifies you as disabled these days. Including obesity.
So true.

If its so great to be on welfare, do it. I'm so ****ing sick and tired of the lies and hate against the poor. Want to do something about welfare? Support education, job creation, innovation and health care progress!

The only thing I would do about welfare is end it.

Work or starve.
Way to emulate third world countries!
Intelligent people understand the multifaceted issues when it comes to eradicating poverty and the working poor. Go right ahead and end social safety net programs and see how that goes. JFC
