[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the adults on stamps are overweight or obese and probably need to starve to get a little healthier if we are being honest. Of course this excludes the babies, children, and elderly  [/quote]

Is “honest” what we’re now calling ignorance?  Being food insecure in America also correlates with eating cheaper, processed foods. Some may “starve”. Others who are obese, or who have hypertension, or who have diabetes, will likely become sicker — either from eating poorer diets or from not eating at all. Yes, this is a crisis the Republicans are deliberately creating— just as they’re trying to force the Democrats to give up their push for extending healthcare benefits.

People ok snap aren’t buying heathy foods.  They are just buying even more junk food.  It is literally driving the obesity epidemic higher than ever. If you are on snap because it has been deemed you cannot afford to feed yourself, yet you are able to consume so much extra food/calories that you are now weigh twice what you should; then there is a giant problem with snap- in how much is allocated and what it is used to purchase.
