[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is this regressive, cruel, right wing nonsense?

"SNAP is good for local economies – each dollar in federally funded SNAP benefits generates $1.79 in economic activity."

“children in families receiving SNAP were significantly more likely to be classified as ‘well’ than young children whose families were eligible but did not receive SNAP.”

"There is strong evidence of SNAP’s effectiveness in alleviating food insecurity. Two studies included in the recent “Long-Term Benefits of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program” White House Report demonstrate this point. Mabli and Ohls (2015) compared households’ state of food security before and after receiving SNAP benefits and found that “SNAP participation reduced the overall fraction of households that were food insecure and the fraction that were very low food secure by around 17 percent and 19 percent, respectively. "

SNAP is a fantastic program that has significantly improved access to food and childhood nutrition. Poor people should be allowed small edible luxuries like chips and soda just like you and I are. To suggest otherwise is heartless and inhuman. Shame on everyone spouting this horrible anti-poor filth in this thread.[/quote]

SNAP is great. But can you show us something that proves the link is incorrect?

Soda has no nutritional value whatsoever. None. Zero. [/quote]
