This is a good idea. We are paying for their health care. Why should we be buying them Coke and Twinkies?
There are fruit juices that have sugar in them. And what about the ones with fructose? Will those count? It says nothing about Twinkies.
I agree. Half my grocery bill is drinks. Much of them sugary crap my husband and kids drink. If I had to cut corners, they’d go. (the drinks, that is, not the husband and kids). If you are collecting food stamps, that qualifies as hard times, IMO. They should have to make the same sacrifices I would have to make in the same situation.
I agree with you. They should be buying food with FOOD stamps. What the heck, I didn’t know they could buy soda with them anyway. They should be feeding their family.
I agree with you. It’s amazing what can be done through computer programming. Food stamps is yet another government program that has been put together in patchwork manner and fixes made in shotgun fashion to accommodate a politician’s current idea. IMO, the whole program should be scrapped and a new one developed that has controls and monitoring built in.
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.
And THIS boys and girls is why the big push for commie health care. Folks need to look at the BIG picture. Commie care has little to do with health and EVERYTHING to do with control!
