How the hell can this affect you? [/quote] Ugh. How many fking times do we have to explain to you that their healthcare costs us money. If they drink cola and get obese. You and I pay for it. Not that complex.[/quote] We all pay for all sorts of things I'd rather not. And if the poor families want a little "luxury" by having a soda, let them. You've clearly never been poor (I have). Post your diet and lifestyle now so we can see what you're doing wrong? You cost people money too, after all. [/quote] It has nothing to do with “letting” poor people have a soda. The question is whether taxpayers should be buying them soda. [/quote] I don’t understand why or how this difference is so hard for some PPs to grasp. Nobody is forbidding anything. But we the American taxpayer give poor people nutrition assistance. It should be used for actual food. Imagine that we were giving them items directly rather than letting them buy them with a card. Do you really think the US government would have warehouses full of soda and candy to give to poor people to eat? Because that’s exactly what’s happening.[/quote] Have you ever heard of a food desert Miss Suburban Cul-de-sac? Try shopping where poor people live. They have very few shopping options. Many stores have closed in the inner cities. And, if you can even find an apple, it is likely to be brown.[/quote] False. “Food deserts” exist because that is what people WANT to buy. If gas stations and convenience stores stocked more heathy items and fresh food, it would rot and not sell. Unless of course those were the only eligible purchases with food stamps. Get it? [/quote]
