If people are receiving a handout for food, then that’s what they should be purchasing his food. Not candy and soda and garbage. Nutritional food for a family to survive, not privileged sweets and treats.
charity should be handled by the private sector, but if it must be government subsidized, we should ensure it's actually benefiting the families receiving it, not churning out more disability checks int he future...
Us old people actually DO come from a different world than this one. In that world there were Food Stamps to mitigate hunger in America. You could buy food that had to be prepared, but not any food that was prepared and ready to eat, as in anything from a restaurant. Also prohibited was candy, alcoholic beverages, and soft drinks.
I don't know why this is so controversial. Health insurance doesn't cover cosmetic procedures. Only necessities. Sugar is not a food group and anything with high levels of it shouldn't be government funded.
President Trump paid for that Diet Coke with his own money. no one is telling them they can't buy soda, they just can't use someone else's money to do it.

Buy liquid diabetes with your own fucking money.
Cut off using the cards at McDonolds as well.
Results may very by state.

love the false equivalence between a ban on drive cup size and saying the government wont support your sugar addiction if you're on foodstamps...
That clownworld account already deleted their post. Pretty obvious they are getting paid.

if you want to buy soda, get a job.
SNAP for soda is a back door government subsidy for soda companies.
Ok, but why are the REALLY prohibiting diet soda?
Sugar free does not equal healthy. Quite the opposite when fake chemical sweeteners are used.
In a sane world because artificial sweeteners are far more dangerous than corn syrup, but I seriously doubt that is their motivation.
It’s not being prohibited. They are free to buy whatever they like - just not on government subsidies.
