    Obtuse?

    I asked you what sort of foods they should have. You said only their basic needs should be met in terms of food.

    Me:

    Ok, which foods should people with no money not be allowed to have?

    You:

    Anything that is outside of basic needs?

    Again, the current food stamps program allows impoverished people to buy any food they want to buy as long as they have enough in their EBT account.

    Your solution would make a two-tiered system where some people can only get very basic survival food and others can get any food they want. That is worse than now.

    So in what way am I being obtuse? You are saying rich people deserve better food than poor people.
