Oh, I'm not sure about that. I mean, there definitely are those, but there is a SEA of obese white women on said benefits. Most of them are still relaxing after the last "No Kings" (after arriving to it on their riding machines because they're too big to walk but still able to swing a "FASCISM!" sign). But apparently statistically it's mostly men on SNAP who are the mostly obese ones. But they apparently aren't as motivated to get out to the protests as the women. So we mostly think of the women. I don't really doubt that disparity, honestly.

Again, not that simple. Despite whoever is in your ear or pundit. There IS money "Around." But it's not clear if that can legally be allocated for something like food stamps vs. things like if there's a hurricane or earthquake and OMG, 10 million people need to be taken care of like NOW. Because if we put that to SNAP now then that money goes away. Two federal judges say it must (which kind of is equivalent to you can sue anything for anything, anytime), but there are other legal voices who are saying that's illegal to dip into these particular funds.
