If Michelle Obama want to end America's obesity problem, she could call for the total end of the food stamp program.

If Americans do not fight the demonic food stamp program, the food stamp recipients could rise from the current 46 million to 160 million, as corrupt Agribusiness corporations seek to raise eligibility to higher income levels. Most Americans will end up on food stamps, despite the fact that they do not need them.

A country in which the poor people are fatter than the rich is not a normal country. A country that gives poor people free food, so that they can sit at home all day and watch day-time TV, is not a normal country. It is a country that is run by lunatics.

Another thing. The Food Stamp program does not transfer wealth from the rich to the poor. Instead, it transfers wealth from the middle-class to the rich people who own the corrupt agribusiness corporations. This policy also harms small independent farmers.

The big Agribusiness corporations are some of the most corrupt corporations in America.

The largest and most corrupt corporation in this country is the federal government.

Wonder how much Walmart takes in from EBT?

Press one for English is pushed by corporatists as well.

Not to be confused with patriotic capitalists

People used to have gardens,, harvest wild berries,, can their own goodies..

The Obammys werent even born yet.

We have price supports to prop up the prices of agricultural commodities. That makes them to expensive for "the poor." To offset that, we have EBT and SNAP. The whole rotten scheme is simply an income transfer from the taxpayer to the agribusiness industry, including the farmers.

To paraphrase Mao, “We have created Communism with American characteristics.”

Welcome to the XXIst Century.

Been saying for some time now that is she wanted to end obesity then end what food stamps recipients can buy.
It should be only veggies , fruit, cereal, and potatoes .

No lobsters, shrimp, chips, soda’s, and cookies.

I wonder to what degree the food inflation we’ve seen in the past six years is due to the expansion of SNAP.

When I first said to my friends 5 years ago that "Food Stamps" was a product of food corporations lobbying Wash. I got little agreement.

When people DO NOT have money to BUY your product you simply GIVE them MONEY in the form of "Food Stamps-EBT" offered by the Government.

There food corps plan is to make sure they have profits, even at the expense of the taxpayers.

[SkyPilot]

You are exactly correct. Food Stamps ARE Corporate Welfare. WalMart, Yum Foods, and every single grocery chain lobbies for EBT transfers to the tune of Billions.

Well, the American people may not be lunatics, but they surely know how to act like them.
