So you aren’t for government getting out of not only the food stamp “business” but also the food production business?

Government involvement in food production is part of the Ten Planks of Communism listed in the Manifesto.

8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
   
   
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country. ...

Enough is enough at some point. A century of this creating more and more poverty ought to have woken people up, right?

I'd rather the government get out of the food stamp business entirely. But if they're in it, they should not allow government money to be used for low or no nutrition foods.

As far as food inspection goes, I'd really love to be able to trust big food. Without government inspection and labeling, there would be no way to trust our food sources, except for the fortunate few who can get all locally sourced and high integrity choices.
