Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Should SNAP recipients be able to use their benefits to buy hot rotisserie chicken? Michael revisits the debate over food assistance rules as a bipartisan group of senators pushes to carve out a narrow exception to the long-standing ban on hot foods. The issue highlights a quirky regulatory gap—where a cold rotisserie chicken is allowed, but a hot one is not—raising questions about practicality, dignity, and intent. Supporters argue it’s a common-sense fix for families, seniors, and those without cooking access, while critics warn it could open the door to broader changes. Is this smart reform or the start of a slippery slope? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
