We shouldn’t be buying Coca Cola for welfare recipients.[/quote]

These poor people have very little so why deny them Coca-Cola?  How the hell can this affect you? [/quote]

I’ve been poor, third World country type of poor. So I’m not saying this to be heartless or because I haven’t been there.

Government funded food stamps and food programs should only be used for providing nutritious foods and not junk food.

For the same amount of food that you can buy a 12 pack of soda, $14 on sale right now at Safeway, you can buy the ingredients to make at least two nights worth of meals. When you have so very little, you need to use your benefits to the max. And that certainly does not include buying Coca-Cola.

If you want to use your own money for that by all means, nobody can tell you what to do with your own money. But even now I don’t buy soda because I think it’s a waste of money.

As to how this affects us, the comment up thread about subsidizing junk food now and then subsidizing medical bills for obesity later is right. This affects all of us. [/quote]
