Are they planning on banning Twinkies as well? I thought it was just sugar drinks. I am surprised you are all for the government controlling another aspect of citizens’ lives. And I have known quite a few skinny people who live on junk food. You paint with a broad brush.
When they are buying food with my money, I absolutely get to have a say over what they can and cannot buy. They made the choice to go on food stamps, they can live with the consequences of that choice. If they don't like it, don't go on food stamps.
Not everybody is for the government controlling citizens' lives. I'd cut the food stamps off completely. Okay, maybe I'd allow low fat milk, potatoes and brussel sprouts.
Last Valentine's Day the stores were advertising that they'd take food stamps for boxes of Russel Stover candy. That is wrong.
