[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Junk food is cheap. Healthy food is expensive. Work from there.[/quote]

Chips and soda are not cheap! Frozen pizzas are not cheap! What junk food do you think is cheap? [/quote]
Exactly. Growing up, we couldn’t afford that stuff.[/quote]

My parents were quite poor when I was a young kid and we never had any of this stuff in the house.

In the 90s they started having a little extra money and that is when they started drinking soda and eating Snackwells and getting fat.

There are plenty of cheap healthy foods. And does not take much time to peel and slice a couple of carrots or cook some oatmeal. People just don’t wanna and our society is getting weaker and less healthy. Time to cut off the supply, IMO.[/quote]

^^ all of this.

Why does the fed gov allow this to happen? It’s really not right at all. I am all for helping people (especially disabled people and families with kids) get food. It’s something we should do, no one should be hungry in our country. But this is a travesty. This program actually harms people. [/quote]

“Study: Foods like ice cream, chips and candy are just as addictive as cigarettes or heroin

An analysis of 281 studies in 36 countries, published in the British Medical Journal this month, found that your inability to put down the ice cream, chips and candy may have less to do with your self-control and more to do with the addictive quality of ultra-processed foods or UPFs.

“The combination of refined carbohydrates and fats often found in UPFs seems to have a supra-additive effect on brain reward systems, above either macronutrient alone, which may increase the addictive potential of these foods,” the study said.

Using the same guidelines for measuring substance abuse, the researchers found that 14% of adults and 12% of children were addicted to ultra-processed foods.“

So leftists think taking taxpayer money and trying to provide food for poor people and families but instead getting them addicted to food with zero nutritional value and making them fat and sick and eventually killing them is progressive?
