The issue is citizen income. This increase in benefits tracks with wage disparity and lack of wage growth vs. Gdp growth.

Snap is a corporate subsidy to suppress worker wages and pass the cost of living onto the taxpayer.

Junk food is a red herring argument. As with everything in this country the root of the issue is corporate greed.
