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

You're the one saying that, not us. We're saying that we're not going to pay for your sugar water. Like we say we're not going to pay for your hotdogs at 7-11 or pay for your vodka.

Again, why is that 'denegrating?"

If you cut all the good stuff off, they sell EBT for cash (50%-75%). Then buy Newports & Ripple. The kids suffer more w/o Hot-Pockets.

How do you hate people you want to help?

The low expectations is in the left thinking it's OK for them to continue to live at a levels just enough to keep them alive and reasonably comfortable.

I don’t engage in your judgmental behavior. People live how they want to live. They make their own choices.

This has nothing to do with helping anyone. It’s all about your own emotional needs.

bullshit. You judge everything based on your pathetic SJW worldview.

So you worship the nanny state?

Don’t be dumb.

Panera bread donates old bread to our church to be distributed to a homeless shelter The shelter gets first dibs, and they only want the pastries and white bread. The healthier whole wheat and rye and gourmet breads are left over, and our given to our parishioners for a donation. Somebody asked why we get the good stuff, but that's why. The poor people don't want it.

Walmart Safeway all of them donate old bakery, produce. Even that is costly and difficult. I suspect most rots away or goes to hog farms? No one trusts expired bread. Wilted produce, soft potatoes?

 

[okfine]

Maybe you fn magatards should ban coca cola. That kinda shit makes you happy.

Pointing out that many are comfortable being on the dole isn't bigotry, it's reality.

And the reality is that they are obese and unhealthy becasue of their choices. SNAP is making them obese and unhealthy.

But Mare thinks it's denigrating if we don't want to facilitate their deaths.

Food Stamp Recipients More Likely To Be Obese, Study Finds


2021 USDA study found that adult men in SNAP had a higher obesity rate (37 percent) than low-income nonrecipient men (32 percent) and that adult women in SNAP had a higher obesity rate (52 percent) than low-income nonrecipient women (40 percent).

I don’t judge people for how they live their lives.

If you want to be a bible thumping, rifle loving, quiverful, be my guest. I don’t look down on people like that.

I just expect the same from everyone else.

Everyone, rich and poor, needs access to medical care, healthy foods and information in order to live healthy lives. But we can’t make decisions for them.

If this was actually about health, we wouldn’t be focusing on poor people.

How is SNAP making them obese and unhealthy?

 

[leftwinger]

Three big sets of problems. Single mothers & homeless & drug addicts. All require different solutions. Frankly from capture and hold, forced sterilization and or jail time is required to slow the problems. Soft headed Leftist wont allow and phony R run scared. Commee Courts make things impossible.

Again, bullshit.

We subsidize their ability to subsist at the lowest level possible. That is the true hatred.

All you’re doing is perpetuating hatred of poor people by assuming they’re too stupid and lazy to improve their lives.

Your house can only hold so much food and stuff. If you feed 7 kids it ain’t going to be pretty. You cant stock salad and oatmilk. Its going to be hot dogs, mac&cheese, bread and ham or baloney. The fat mom ends up eating it too if she has time after shopping, cooking, storing, diapers, school pickup, doctors whatever. You can bark….but it ain’t easy. I saw neighbors and grandma with big GOVT cans of peanut butter or boxes of cheese with kids crap all over ebery house every day growing up.

This is why we have millions of 30 yr old grandmothers living at home with grandkids. All on the pipe too perhaps?

“Because I say so”

All you’re doing is perpetuating hatred of poor people by assuming they’re too stupid and lazy to improve their lives.

The myth of the "suddenly poor" person is just that. There are systemic reasons for this, some perpetuated by the subsidizing them just enough so they don't starve and are comfortable enough they don't care to improve themselves.

How is SNAP making them obese and unhealthy?

JFC, you have literally devolved into arguing like a five your old. WTF is this thread about?

SNAP households spend about 10 percent of food dollars on sugary drinks, which is about three times more than the amount they spend on milk. In New York City alone, as we've reported, this translates into more than $75 million in sugary drink purchases each year that are subsidized by U.S. taxpayers. (this story was from 7 years ago, God knows what it is now)

https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2018/10/29/659634119/food-stamps-for-soda-time-to-end-billion-dollar-subsidy-for-sugary-drinks

The name of the program is literally Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. There is virtually zero nutrition in soda.

SNAP doesn’t MAKE them buy that. Now does it.

 

[odanny]

The low expectations are exemplified in this thread, that if poor people are allowed to choose what food to buy with SNAP, that they’ll choose badly and become fat.

The low expectations is that poor people who receive government benefits won’t seek to improve their lives.

That is the assumption because too many times it has shown to be correct.

 

[leftwinger]

Because you’re saying they’re too stupid to make choices for themselves.

They quickly run out of strength to fight the daily fight with kids at home. Trust me. The lil’ guys will get their way or else.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I suspect the figure is overblown for clicks

But it's on the Internet. It must be true.

 

[Rawley]

SNAP doesn’t MAKE them buy that. Now does it.

But it allows them to buy it. It shouldn't, like we don't allow participants to buy vodka or cigarettes with EBT cards.
