Coca-Cola makes $10 billion per year from Food Stamps

So now you guys want a nanny state. Gotcha.

So now you’re afraid your Welfare will be cut, too bad.

 

[Marener]

You really are either stupid or not literate. It is not denigrating the poor to point out facts. All Americans are getting fatter and sicker, including the poor. But we can change this by refusing to pay for the addictive, destructive products causing this. Notice the poorest women are the fattest among US.

It seems you prefer the poor to be filling up on sugared drinks, processed foods and junk that provides no nutrition while causing obesity. You really are a true blue democrat.

If everyone is getting sicker and fatter, why do you only want to tell the poor what they can and can’t eat?

Because I help pay for their shitty food that is killing them by causing chronic disease. Then I have to pay for their treatments for their chronic disease. None of that makes sense.

Why do you want them to keep killing themselves?

I also would love to see the stupid food pyramid turned inside out, which in effect is telling EVERYONE what they should be eating.

Why do you want non-poor people to keep killing themselves wirh poor quality food?

We have a small problem, that's why we have to rely on billion-dollar technology to continue our military bullying. 77% of young Americans too fat, mentally ill, on drugs and more to join military, Pentagon study finds

I don't. I just said turn the food pyramid inside out.

Why don't you know how to read?

Who gives a shit about “the food pyramid”? We are talking about using government to force people to eat healthy.

(The food pyramid hasn’t existed for decades, by the way)

(Also, you don’t need to be so angry)

Outside almost every supermarket you can see groups of people waiting to sell their food stamp cards for cash. That's something else that needs to be ended.

Pardon me, but that is a myth you heard about and decided to repeat with no evidence. You can't sell EBT cards, because the money is deposited each month. You would be selling a card for the balance of the benefits over months and possibly years.

My daughter was on "food stamps" when my grandkids were younger. She also worked every day while she received them.

The program is not perfect in any way, but it is not as bad as you claim.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Do you actually think people including children are voluntarily going to do what's good for them?
Even if you limit what the food stamps can buy they will stand outside the supermarkets and sell their cards for cash so that they can still buy what they want. Often times that includes selling it for 50 cents on the dollar.

Still repeating a bullshit myth? You should be ashamed of yourself for lying. That doesn't happen because it can't!

Ultra processed foods probably have a lot to do with it.

And corn syrup.

 

[Marener]

And corn syrup.

Probably not. Corn syrup isn’t really any different than cane sugar.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Edibles should be eligible for EBT.

If you disagree, you are racist.

That’s simply not true. The money goes into an account and you use the card

 

[Lesh]

Probably not. Corn syrup isn’t really any different than cane sugar.

Actually it is.

That most kids didn't want to eat. Every special interest got their say, and the ones the dems liked got paid for more got a bigger one.

Fixed it for ya. lol

Because we are the ones paying for their sustinence and thus it's easier?

Also since it's clear they can't help themselves why should we just continue to allow them to make bad choices?

I stay away from high fructose sugar. Try to limit all added sugars. I also avoid all diet sugar replacements.

When in doubt drink water

It’s just my choice.

It’s super easy to help everyone else. Just tax sugary drinks at like 100-200%.
