Born and raised in Brooklyn. Back in the 70's, when my cousins from Rochester, N.Y. stayed with us for a few days, they called soda "pop". My sisters and I were like, "Dafuq?"
 
Ain’t nothing changed…

Listen To The Americans On Welfare In 1970
It’s Only Gotten Worse

In 1970, the main welfare program in the United States was Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). Around 7.9 million people received AFDC benefits that year, representing about 2 million families. Public social welfare spending, including programs like food stamps and unemployment insurance, totaled roughly 143 billion dollars, about 15 percent of the nation’s output at the time. The system was smaller and simpler, with stricter eligibility rules and fewer overlapping programs.

By contrast, in recent years the social safety net has expanded dramatically. In 2019, about 99 million Americans—around 30 percent of the population—received assistance from at least one major welfare or social support program. In 2023, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which replaced the old food stamp program, served about 42 million people a month, roughly 12 percent of the country. Today, many more people qualify for or use overlapping benefits such as Medicaid, unemployment insurance, and housing assistance.

About 8 million people relied on direct welfare in 1970, while today roughly 100 million Americans receive some form of public assistance. Welfare itself has become a smaller part of a much broader safety net.

Dumbest shit ever… some diabetics need to have some form of candy or something sweet if their sugar is low.. they need it to jump that shit up.. now what if some of the recipients of these benefits fall under those cases .. now they can’t get candy
Buy glucose tablets..... end of story

Both glucose tablets and candy can be used for low blood sugar, but it's best to choose the right kind of candy and follow the "15-15 rule". Fast-acting carbohydrates like glucose tablets, hard candies, or juice are ideal because they raise blood sugar quickly. Foods with fat or protein, such as chocolate, should be avoided as they can slow down the absorption process.

Do they fall under snap benefits? Are these available in many areas within 50 states? Are there side effects? Can children consume them?
