So what happens when the Federal government can’t issue Nov Food Stamps?

You should care. 24% of low income kids are obese, not just overweight, but obese. Compared to 10% obesity rate of kids not low income. It’s because they are and they are over consuming junk food, by a lot. Snap is given specifically to buy heathy foods and it’s being used to purchase junk.

This is an old article. Obesity rate has increased from 20% to 24% since 2015

Cool. Take it up with Congress if Speaker Johnson ever reopens the House. They make the laws. The answer is not “turn off SNAP benefits”. Change the law to stop subsidizing Big Food on the front end (ag subsidies that go mostly to big crops like corn for corn syrup) and on the back end (SNAP benefits).

Good luck with that MAGA. In the meantime, stop demonizing people for making rationale choices.

If snap got turned off, no one would starve, they would maybe consume fewer overall calories- which is needed. It’s either done by eating less of the food you normally eat or exchanging some (most) of the junk food for heathy foods with fewer calories. But something needs to change.

Spend some time in countries without the thin safety net we have. The choices for families are grim. I’ll take obese fed children in school any day over rampant child labor or worse, sex slavery.

Get Big Ag and Big Food off the government teat and make food healthier for everyone. But stop demonizing people for making rationale food choices.

What I want to know, MAGA, is why we gave 20 billion to Argentina and are letting Americans starve.

Anyway, volunteering at the food bank today and we shall see how long the lines are.

Social media is fake? Who figured?

But, conservatives are very gullible if you play into their natural prejudices

I guess because they are fat and need to lose weight…

Is there a /s?

Maybe the diet obsessed PP would be happier to know there are plenty of people on snap who are not only underweight but malnourished.

This thread is about SNAP being cut off. Can you stop? Do you think people should starve because they aren't buying food you approve?

You think people consuming 200% of the calories their body needs are at risk for starving?

Fat people still have to eat, and yes they can starve. What is wrong with you?

Of course, but less food. You think people receiving snap can buy zero food at all without snap?

And they be even more likely to buy crap food because it is cheap! They’re not going to buy ground beef or milk like they do now.

They’re going to buy ramen packs and other cheap crap.

There are kids at my child’s school who are not getting enough food to eat at home, and showing up to school hungry every single day. The fact that you are so blithely unaware of what poverty really looks like tells me that you are the greedy pig.

Then that is a major parenting fail.

And what are you, personally, doing to help that?

They are also terrified someone is getting more than them.

You would think this would make them abhor the Trump syndicate as they are the biggest grifters ever.

DP. I’ve contributed to groups serving the poor for years. Time when I did not have money and more money now that I have more of it than time.

The lines at my church are around the block on food pantry days. I also tutor low income kids on my lunch break once a week and volunteer on weekends with my own kids activities which creates a healthier outlet for low income kids who are on the teams/clubs.

There are many, many heathy options that are cheap, if not cheaper than junk. People buy the junk because of convenience and preference, not price.
