Moochelle has said that there is an obesity epidemic and kids don’t need sugar. So if you are buying candy for kids with EBT cards, moochelle is not gonna be happy wif you.
There are unhealthful snacks and, well, not-quite-so-unhealthful ones and even decent ones like fruits. Since I am from the Twinkee generation it is always a challenge to pass up the confectionary display (except as a rare treat). I really think it is the fructose in current snacks that is the real problem — the real sugar in the old days wasn’t any big deal (except maybe for the dentist).
