when people are forced to choose starvation or shoplifting, there’s not a great deal of choice there

it’s not self hate: it’s an acknowledgment that SNAP is survival, and people will find a way to survive with or without it… without it, it’s just far less fair and measurable

    Shoplifting, especially food, is only a "crime" to those who hoard it (vs feeding people, etc) until they get their ransom —and even then, it's still not enough.
