Is someone going to tell her that fruit is loaded with sugar??
On Monday, Florida changed its state welfare policy to exclude junk food from being purchased with SNAP funds.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is meant to help needy people buy food by using tax money to give them supplemental nutrition.
The state of Florida is not telling residents that they can't buy soda and ice cream with their own money. It's telling them they can't use money taken from other Floridians to buy those items. You are free to be morbidly obese on your own dime.

Why these restrictions haven’t been in place nationwide since the inception of food stamps is beyond my comprehension.
He who pays the piper calls the tune.
STFU.
Be raciss doncha know!?
I make my own ice cream. Better than anything you will get in a store with food stamps. Doesn’t take too long either. It’s a skill better than learning how to code!
I’m guessing that she doesn’t need more ice cream and soda.
I believe they were initially but someone thought those welfare recipients were being punished by not being able to have the same things as actual American workers.
all free government food should only be provided by government pantries and only give basic food so that people wont starve.
Yeah fatso. The Americans who work hard for a living to take care of their families should buy you all the garbage you can eat. Pig out hoggy!
Colleges. Let the government pay for STEM courses. Make the universities and students spar over how much the gender and ethnic studies courses are worth. Gotta have that sheepskin.
no one receiving government assistance should be allowed to vote.
I think they used to be, then the Snack Food industry started donating to their local Congresscritters.................
HOOK HOOK HONKYS
You think THAT ghettopotemus is gonna go to the trouble of making her own ice cream?
I bet she sends one of her 10 fatherless kids to the mailbox every day.
Exactly.
That figures.
What we see here is the result of generations of conditioning that “the gubmint should take care of me my whole life”.
Fat cows have been eating steaks, lobster all kinds of expensive foods for decades while all of us paying for it are getting by on cabbage. Revolution time.
Who knew that generational poverty would become such a huge thing in this country?
Just think of the crap she’d be eating if she went home to live in her beloved Africa.
