Idiotic article. Le Page is 100% right to restrict these (and other) items from SNAP leeches.
Let your politician tell you you can’t buy beer, can’t drink big soda and you can’t salt your food.
I bet you wouldn’t like it. A politician is not my doctor and should stay the f*ck out of my life.
I don’t think all food stamp recipients are leeches...when my parents were divorced my mom applied for food stamps and she had a job that paid nothing (of course we were denied in part because we are white people)...
that said i 1000% agree with disallowing the purchase of soda, potato chips and junk food with food stamps and have said this for the longest time...they should only be allowed to purchase vegetables, milk, water, bread, meat,etc..
often times I see people paying with food stamps they are severely overweight and i would imagine in poor health (not all times)...hence taxpayers are not just paying for the food stamps but major medicals costs as well.
