My suggestion would be good for the public. It would promote healthier eating.You pay taxes because the Constitution says it's okay. Candy can be made from products bought from stores using EBT yet you would allow that because it is basic necessities.
This is maybe the shittiest thing about the welfare state (and there are many). Liberals use state policy to create dependency, and then conservatives use it to bully people.If I'm going to be buying dinner for the poor I think I should have a say in what's acceptable to buy and what's not. I'm not saying they shouldn't be able to buy steak or anything nice, but I do think they shouldn't be able to buy a bunch of chips, soda and candy. There's an obesity epidemic in the country, particularly among the poor, and I don't want my money to make it worse. With my taxed income I want people to be buying healthy foods that help facilitate healthy lifestyles. If people are really in such rough shape that they need that kind of help they should be more than happy to just buy the things they actually need with it.

The former first lady Oblama done did try that and people refuse to eat healthy in the USA.My suggestion would be good for the public. It would promote healthier eating.
An even shitter thing about it is the naive "reformers", like the OP, who accept the underlying premise that it's totally acceptable to use the machinations of The State take from the productive -at gunpoint if necessary- in order to feather the nests of the unproductive.This is maybe the shittiest thing about the welfare state (and there are many).

so why dont you invest in one and sell them the good stuff?...sounds like you can make a few bucks and be a hero to those people....The food police is a noble concept but who will enforce this? Additionally, many poor people live in neighborhoods where they don't have access to fresh fruit and veggies. They have a corner mini-mart that sells junk and fast food joints.
54 million Americans don’t have access to healthy food. That’s a design problem
Urban planning has exacerbated food disparities in U.S. cities—but it could now be part of the solution.www.fastcompany.com
That is why I have grown my own and canned it for over thirty years plus I know that there is no pesticides or herbicides polluting the ground or the plants.This is maybe the shittiest thing about the welfare state (and there are many).

Maybe you should concern yourself with yourself and stop trying to tell everyone else how to live?
I can tell you are easily upset that all humans do not bow to yer will...Sorry to hear life is so frustrating.Neat. Then who is going to pay for the food stamps since we're not telling others how to live, such as paying for EBT from working class taxes?
I've seen people buy gum with EBT, PATHETIC.
The hell you say?!?...You're expecting that a liberoidal actually get up off his ass and do something for the people that he professes to care about?so why dont you invest in one and sell them the good stuff?...sounds like you can make a few bucks and be a hero to those people....

It's easy. They already can't buy hot food, which I think is retarded by the way. That means they can't go to Publix and buy some healthy prepared food, but they can roll down the candy aisle and buy enough chocolate to kill an elephant. What the fuck? It's not hard to create restrictions on their EBT cards, which is how all of them do it now.The food police is a noble concept but who will enforce this?
dr love is a liberal?.....The hell you say?!?...You're expecting that a liberoidal actually get up off his ass and do something for the people that he professes to care about?
What do you think he pays his taxed for? (/sarc)
Well poor people wouldn't have a choice but to pick healthier options with EBT if we did it the way I think it should be done. I think that would be good for them even if it pisses them off and feels patronizing.The former first lady Oblama done did try that and people refuse to eat healthy in the USA.

Not a classical one....But he is a moonbat among moonbats for sure.dr love is a liberal?.....
