If the Babylon Bee were to write a parody of a food stamp recipient and create this lady out of thin air it would be the most racist, sexist, and offensive thing imaginable.

But this is real life, so don't be offended:

It's not even cool. Why they do that? ... What's the point of food stamps if it's just for real food? ... I don't know what Trump is doing, I don't know what's going on.

She said this, out loud, on the news.

This woman is under the impression that the point of food stamps is to buy processed junk food for overweight people, and not to buy real food for people who can't afford to eat.

She even calls the food she's allowed to buy now "real food"! She knows she was using it for ultraprocessed junk!

Really, you can't make it up.
