I've seen food stamps used at farmer's markets, SNAP doesn't dictate who or how people grow food, that's a different issue. But hey I guess the situation will improve now that SNAP is being halted, right? /s
It doesn't dictate how they grow the food but the number one recipient of those dollars are the owners of retail food sellers and the biggest of these are companies like Walmart.
Walmart and many other companies underpay workers enough that they have to rely on food stamps. They use food stamps to subsidize their labor costs to avoid paying their workers enough to buy food.
Which should be solved by passing a living wage not by cutting food stamps....
