The the solution is to get corn and corn sugar/high fructose corn syrup out of all of our food and eliminate all processed foods from our public schools and don't allow SNAP funds to purchase processed foods, soda or other junk foods.

And if you do this, watch the American farmers and the consuming public go bananas on the lawmakers who impose it.

"All processed foods"? That would include bread, low fat milk, nut butters, and precut veggies. Perhaps you mean ultraprocessed?

Also this is not happening without increasing taxes. So sure, as long as you agree to increase your local taxes to pay for it? I mean, I supported improving school lunches back when Michelle Obama took that initiative but Republicans somehow were adamantly opposed. What changed?

When we cut SNAP benefits, are we doing anything to change food deserts?

Food deserts are when people live in rural areas, and or in a culture that drives business away due to violent crime and theft.

Those are things that the government cannot control.

You mean ultra processed foods. There are plenty of healthy processed foods: peanut butter, yogurt, ground turkey to name three. All of those listed are processed.

I love that Michelle Obama did this and the Right went nuts.

It’s hard to define legally what’s junk food and what’s healthy. There’s a large grey zone between candy and granola/protein/breakfast bars. One pending bill tries to define candy as “flourless”, but under that definition, Twix and Kit Kat would be exempt. Cereal also gets blurry. Many cereals contain added sugar but also contain healthy ingredients. Do we ban Honey Nut Cheerios?

There isn’t much evidence to suggest SNAP recipients eat any less healthily than other low-income earners. It’s also hard to restrict foods without further stigmatizing that group. I’ve gone through periods where money was extremely tight, and being able to have an occasional treat or give my kids a birthday cake was so important psychologically. There’s a strain of Ayn Rand heartlessness in these policies - the attitude seems to be if you’re poor, you must live only on rice and beans until you’ve bootstrapped yourself into a strata of society that deserves ice cream.

That said, I do agree with reducing harmful food dyes amd additives, looking at alternative pest reduction methods, and encouraging Americans to eat more healthily. I’m old enough to remember when Michelle Obama wanted everyone to eat more fruits and veggies, and the right wing lost their mind. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

OP, you are welcome to consume all the Round Up that you want and continue eating ultra processed foods loaded with high fructose corn syrup. No one will starve to death because thay cannot purchase Coke and Doritos with SNAP benefits.

Can we get a tax break for quartzite?

Love me some round up ready corn on the cob.

It would also include every single oil/fat used for cooking. Our kids can eat foot cooked in beef tallow, soooo much healthier!

I think we all know the best way to get started is to soak our crystals in essential oils. The main health problem is that our crystals are vibrating at the incorrect frequency. You have to tune them, people!

Everyone knows glyphosate is safe. Science is real!

Everyone except these MAHA dum dums, that is.
