Another idiot
...just give people rice, beans, veggies, chicken (or some cheap meat) and make them cook their own damn meals
They need to make all processed food ineligible for SNAP. Red Meat and Cheese are A-OK. LFHC is the way to get healthy, lose weight and drastically reduce diabetes as well.
Some folks need a word tax.
No taxes but I do agree food stamps etc should not be used for pop, beer, candy, cigarettes, fast food. PERIOD. Like another poster I would rather we give out food instead of food stamps.
Granted, mathematically NO GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ARE SUSTAINABLE.
That said, remember how much we HATED Mooch 0bama telling us and our kids what or what NOT to eat?
I would like to see more strings attached to food choices for those getting SNAP, though. Government programs are NEVER going to go away, so we may as well make them as undesirable as we possibly can - make SNAP more like WIC where you’re limited on the things OTHERS PAY FOR so your offspring won’t starve.
And, FWIW, the Little Libertarian in me is jumping up and down and having a tantrum right now. She wants NONE of this. NONE OF IT! ;)

That would reduce the size of the herd in more than one way.
It would also reduce profits for the pharmasurance syndicate, and associated "investors".

I rent to the “poor.” They smoke, drink, and do drugs. They are not interested or concerned about their health. They would turn down a healthy meal for the convenience of sitting on the couch and munching comfort food. They weren’t raised with healthy food and don’t care what food costs. They are completely different in their attitudes from what we in the middle class think. None of the taxes achieve the ends the do-gooders plan. The plans just bring more misery.
I used to think that, but I’m becoming more inclined to let them be allowed to purchase anything that will shorten their lives. I’m sick of supporting them.
One hundred percent of the idiots who spew the no read meat line need to go teach in Japan for several and see their level of anemia in person.
That isn’t genetic.
I'm also in favor of disallowing red meat for SNAP, after watching EBT users buying $14/lb steaks that I haven't been able to afford in years. If they must have it, then cap allowable meat prices @ $5/lb. That's still a high enough ceiling to get the mid-grade leaner ground beef.
See his Freeper page? Yowser
Only registered and inspected vegan food stores should be eligible for SNAP.
It will be labeled as a “racist law”.
Yer just a regular ole government supremacist aren’t ya?
Of course they go too far.
Just eliminate highly sugared products from SNAP.
If the kids want sweets the parents can make them. It’s not like they’re too busy doing anything productive.
the screwball forgot to tax the air we breath. . . .
My feeling is that Americans who think they might live long enough to get Alzheimer’s or have had colon cancer might wish to avoid eating red meat after reaching about 50 years of age. “

Absolute nonsense.

“Some folks need a word tax”
I believe it is important to express ideas in full detail.
Health care payment reform has failed so far simply because the politicians hadn’t thought it out fully and discussed reform in detail.
