Wise judgment! Who thinks they'd stop at food stamp purchases? ;-)
When Pepsico spent untold millions of dollars changing their logo to resemble the Obama “Hope and Change” icon, somehow I can’t see where this is ever gonna happen.
OK, I'll include fruit and veggies too.
Amazing.
This is ironic. They want to remove choice when people select food products, but they want to allow choice when it comes to abortions.
If they're successful doing this, it seems to me a precedent would be established for reversing Roe v Wade.
I agree 100%.
The government should get out of the food business completely and all people’s food choices will once again reflect economic reality. People might actually learn how to cook rather than push a microwave button.
People on the government food dole should not be buying convenience anyhow. In reality, they have more time on hand to prepare meals from scratch than working people.
I believe the government under nobama has already begun the process of making us like North Korea. They have a plan to take care of the “peoples” excess and fat children. With the economy in eventual shambles we will be eating grass and tree bark. Problem solved. nobama is a genius. Pure genius.
I know legal immigrants from India who go to Sams Club and buy 25 lb. bags of rice. With that and a few vegetables and spices, they can live on it for half a year. (generally they save the rest of their money and end up buying a business within a couple of years)
Yeah, and we were also told Obama was the “post-partisan” president. Look where that got us. I’ll “cling bitterly to my guns and religion”, thanks all the same.
At the same time they wanted to put a federal tax on our soda to pay for Health Reform. Idiots #2
About 4x’s a year my wife and daughters drive to Pinehurst, NC to see their Granny. We pass the section 8 projects on the way in. Every time we go we place bets on whether or not these same 4 people are sitting on the front porch, not working. We always pass by on a Thursday or Friday about noon. 3 out of 4 times, there they are! In their 20’s and 30’s just sitting. It’s a great illustration to my kids on the “wonders” of hand outs! The complex is called “Optimist Apartments” too! Right next to “Optimist Field” which is always empty. Sitting on the porch wears a fellow out.
That isn’t the point. The point is the government will control what people eat. Are you really okay with that?
Then why not just ban them outright?
Good!
I have a friend who is a clerk in a food store. She said those with gub’ment food cards buy the expensive crackers, chocolates, etc. that she can’t afford to buy. So much for subsidies.
“except of course an angry mob of Pepsi or Mountain Dew-deprived welfare recipients rioting in the streets!”
Nothing to fear, they’d give out quick without all that sugar and caffeine.
No stamps for Nehi Grape Soda? None for Kools cigarettes? What’s next- none for Barbecue Potato Chips?
I totally agree, but all those corporations getting subsidies should face the same thing. Their CEO’s should eat nothing but raw veggies.
this has all the makings of a classic Democrat Pinch Bill (propose some draconian regulation and then milk the Soda, Snack Food and Fast Food industries for campaign cash in order to keep the Grim Reaper away from their door). Just like the deals Obama cut with GE and Big Pharma.
