Yes. Your kind of meddling is very much the way "we already do things". It's why they're so fucked up.Well then preventing the purchase of candy and soda with EBT would fit right into how we already do things.

Think that has happened in many states.Don't get me going on government lotteries...they prey on the poor's desperation and should be OUTLAWED! And it used to be illegal in Oregon before greedy government hacks LIED and tricked people into amending the state Constitution. Government promised to give every dollar of lotto revenue to schools. Which they did...wait for it...then they reduced existing school funding from the general fund by the same amount and had a spending party with the lotto revenue.
So I have a question.
WIC only allows the purchase of a few different items. I forget what all it is, but it's basically just milk, bread, eggs and cheese. Is that the government being authoritarian? Those moms can't buy a bag of candy with that money. Is that wrong? Should they be able to spend that on whatever "food" they want?
What about not allowing EBT to buy hot food items? Is that authoritarian?
There should be no food stamps, EBT, or WIC.
Problem solved.
You live in one of the best countries on Earth. You're likely one of the most comfortable people that has ever lived when comparing your life to everybody else around the world and to those that came before you. Show a little gratitude. It's really not that bad here.Yes. Your kind of meddling is very much the way "we already do things". It's why they're so fucked up.
I'm aware of the difference. The difference was the foundation of the point I made.First learn the difference
SNAP, WIC, EBT — What’s the Difference? | DCentric

WIC: The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children helps prevent or decrease premature births by supplementing the diets of pregnant women. It is also available to mothers of infants and children up to age five. WIC pays for essential items like milk, eggs and baby formula.
Households CAN use food stamp benefits to buy:
• all food intended to be eaten at home. This includes the
four staple food categories mentioned earlier as well as
nonalcoholic beverages, snack foods, soft drinks, candy,
and ice.
The "haves" say that. The "have nots" are told to stop complaining.You live in one of the best countries on Earth. You're likely one of the most comfortable people that has ever lived when comparing your life to everybody else around the world and to those that came before you. Show a little gratitude.

Oh there’s been a well known “playbook” out for a few decades now, for women during pregnancy and beyond covering first years of development. I found it helpful for information relative to pregnancy. I’ve lost the name but it’s out there in most libraries and still sold at various bookstands.We don't teach "parental playbooks", and often the next generation is on their own to learn from square one. We don't have extended families where grandma can pass on parental skills.
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.
I support universal healthcare. I also think we should be desperately fighting to lower the cost of education for young people. Oh, and I'm pro-choice. Am I still a right wing clown, or are you just a partisan moron?I thought you right wing clowns were opposed to having other people tell you how to live your life.

Oh spare us the liberaoidal "they'll be starving in the streets" pablum, faux lolbertarian.then you have to clean up all those bodies in the streets. such a hassle
