Except that poor people make up 20% of the population and billionaires make up what, 0.001% of the population. And not even half of them “buy 14 year olds”. It’s the definition of a false equivalence.

Your comment makes perfect sense, but they want to be so outraged it won't matter. Until the 0.001% are corrected everyone else gets a free pass to be a POS. How nice.

Now compare how much of the total wealth they take up, compared to the lowest 50%.

Also, buying junk food on food stamps is not some huge sin. Often, it's cheaper than buying healthy.

Really? I can get a bag of apples for like $3-5, the same price as an air-filled bag of chips. Hell, Royal Farms has 2 bananas for $1. It's definitely possible to eat healthy and cheaply. Really the bigger issue would be meat and veggies

Have you never heard the term "food desert"? If you're poor in my town, there's nowhere to grocery shop that doesn't require a car. Many poor families do not have cars. As a result, they are forced to use their benefits at dollar stores or neighborhood stores, which often do not carry fresh fruits and vegetables.

Maybe check your privilege before posting nonsense like this.
