A lingerie store in Louisiana applied for and was approved to accept
EBT cards as a form of payment. The store, Kiss My Lingerie, is
located in Gonzales, LA, and sells lingerie and sex toys. EBT cards,
which in Louisiana are referred to as "Louisiana Purchase Cards",
carry both food and cash benefits.

To paraphrase a line from The Hangover, while it isn't illegal for
Kiss My Lingerie to accept EBT cards as payment for its line of
corsets and bustiers, it's certainly being frowned upon.

From WAFB News (emphasis added):

A woman who works near the store and asked not to be identified
said in the last few weeks, she's noticed more people going inside the
adult shop. She added that's when she saw the message on the front
door of the store that the EBT card is listed as an acceptable form of
payment.

"We were told anything could be purchased there, with the food
stamp card," she said. "No child I know eats edible underwear."

[...]

Although this case skirts the line, state officials stated there's
no violation of the law with the store accepting the card for lingerie
and other adult items. They added because the cash benefits are part
of a federal program, Louisiana does not dictate how families spend
the money of those cards, which could be less than $200 a month or up
to $400 a month.

"It's still the taxpayers dollars that are being used in a store
like that and that really upsets me," the unidentified woman said.

Under the SNAP (food stamp) program, any non-prepared item that is
edible that does not contain alcohol or medicine is considered to be
"food," and can be purchased with SNAP funds at eligible retailers.
This umbrella apparently includes edible underwear and candy shaped
like pieces of the male anatomy.

I'd say "ridiculous," but honestly, it's hard to even faze me any
more. How else are the poor going to purchase bustiers without
taxpayer dollars?

Right: "Food stamps" are loaded on the card, as is your welfare check
amount. It is a brave new carded world.

People can cash a check and buy what they like with the proceeds. The
EBT card is a preloaded debit card.

She doesn't understand the EBT card is actually a cash card.

Now we must dictate to the poor what sorts of undergarments they may
wear? That seems a bit over the top.

Wait, how did we get from lingerie to edible phalluses?

Sorry, hon, only cotton camisoles for you.

this must be an affiliate of FOX as they offered "exactly" no proof that
people with EBT cards are going in the store, much less purchasing
anything

Damn straight! At least when the liberal press publishes a story, they
rigorously research every aspect of it and publish their citations and
references right there on the air for everyone to see!

damn, who would have thought the foxtails would get this wrong

However nice panties might smell, they're like flowers, and you're not supposed to eat them.

Oh, that reminds me, the long sex scene in Blue is the Warmest Color is seriously the hottest, in spite of neither woman having a particularly pretty face.

Panties: Not the best thing in the world but the closest thing to it.

Folks need to realize that panties are not to be eaten. They're like
flowers. However yummy they might smell, you're not supposed to eat them.

Yep.

I am sorry but this is just crazy. You should not get to use your food stamps for edible underwear and such. Food stamps should be for things that you truly need!

But they are made from food quality ingredients. Sure, it seems wrong
in the shape of panties, but in the shape of a candy bar they qualify.
Government rules and logic don't go together.
