This might not apply to most blog readers. However I want to write about it because who knows–maybe a reader falls into this category.

In New York City those of us who collect SNAP benefits are eligible to obtain Health Bucks at our Greenmarkets.

For every $5 spent in SNAP benefits, a person will get a $2 Health Bucks coupon.

Thus enabling you to get more fruits and vegetables.

To do so:

Bring your EBT card to the market manager tent at the farmer’s market.

Swipe your EBT card and in exchange get tokens and Health Bucks to spend at the market.

I don’t take kindly to people who resent others for buying organic food with their SNAP benefits.

Individuals living on a low income deserve to be healthy and eat nutritiously just like those of us who are well-off.

This is what I say:

Cut it out with the comments about people using SNAP to buy juicy heirloom tomatoes.

Regardless of your income there’s no shame in wanting to be healthy.
