[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One good thing that came out of this was increased visibility of the SNAP program.

Not many people were aware that over 40 million people were on it or that soft drinks was the number one item purchased.[/quote]

Soft drinks are primarily high-fructose corn syrup and water.

Corn syrup supports our corn farmers; why shouldn’t most of the SNAP money ultimately end up going to American corn farmers? [/quote]

Really?  This is really your response??

Maybe they should be buying other products produced by farmers like ACTUAL corn and other vegetables. [/quote]

Maybe our farmers should produce less corn (most of it is animal feed corn and corn for high fructose corn syrup) and more actual food if they want subsidies, which SNAP is.

No one complains about farmers having their hands out, but you begrudge the working poor a soda? Why? And don't give me crap about caring about their health. We waste money on tons of things in this country. Feeding the poor is not one of them. [/quote]

Yes, I totally begrudge the working poor a soda.  They can have juice, milk, water, or they can pay for it themselves.[/quote]

Who do you think you are?  not a good look pp[/quote]
