it’s not labeled because almost all produce is automatically EBT eligible.

no, i want to hate you because you’re demonizing poor people for eating food that YOU deem unhealthy without any sort of care for what that actually means. if i had “the same common enemy” with you, id shoot myself bruv.

It’s because the foods covered by EBT are up for interpretation and the same food can be EBT-accepted OR ineligible. EBT pretty much exactly follows the tax exemption for groceries which covers just about everything except “hot prepared food” and things with a “supplement facts” label instead of a nutrition facts label.

Because of that, any single cold ingredient is universally known by recipients to be EBT-accepted. However, there’s a grey area. A tray of cookies at a supermarket is EBT-accepted while a tray from Insomnia is not since it’s hot. Energy drinks are a beverage and EBT-accepted and Five Hour Energy is a supplement so it’s not. Cold pizza is EBT-accepted while hot pizza isn’t. Milkshakes are EBT accepted even though they’re prepared because they’re cold

So the reason these are labeled EBT isn’t really a predatory thing. It helps people receiving SNAP benefits know which goods they can get. Why cookies? You may be attending a party and want to bring a small dish as a courtesy. It’s a fault of specifically written tax laws which were intended to make groceries tax-free while taxing restaurant food, aka a tax-free necessity vs. a taxed luxury. Companies abuse the fuck out of loopholes and have insane legal teams to make sure they can.

Party doesn’t just mean keg stands, freebasing crack, and cookies. It could be Thanksgiving or Christmas with family. It’s customary to bring dessert. As for EBT, the limitations are fine as is. If you can buy butter, eggs, sugar, chocolate chips, flour, vanilla, baking soda, salt, and nuts with EBT, just let ppl buy the damn cookies at that point. If one loophole ends, another will gain prominence unless there’s no exemptions at all.
