NO. I don't want the govt dictating what people eat. If my money is being taken from me in the name of feeding poor people, then I want the say as to what poor people eat. No gum, no soda.

Then vote for the right people, or run for office yourself and change the system. It's your right. Write letters to your local newspaper, get involved and exercise your blood-bought, Constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms. This is what conservatism is all about.
But understand this: You - as a private citizen - will NEVER have the say as to what poor people eat. Grousing is your only option.
But if you get involved in your political system, you might have the opportunity to change things down the road.
