[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, this will never happen because the corporations who make these products will threaten to pull donation dollars from anyone supporting the idea.

Second, you all need to educate yourselves about the concept of food deserts. Many folks who use food stamps live in crappy areas where there aren't stores or markets that sell fresh foods. Or sometimes they do sell them, but they are incredibly expensive. So who is going to draw the line over what is fresh enough and what is too processed, and how will they ensure that everyone has access to a market selling affordable products? Also, many people on food stamps struggle with maintaining appliances/utilities that can be used to store and cook fresh food. How will that be addressed?

I mean, just say that you are mad that poor people are being given  money for food. At least that would be honest.[/quote]

Here we go with the “food deserts” myth again…

And nobody here has said anything against “poor people being money for food,” standard internet straw man.

People here are arguing that the money they receive for food should actually be used for food, not nutritionless carbonated sugar water.[/quote]

Food deserts are largely made up. They exist because people in these locations are not interested in buying healthy food. [/quote]
