Sodas, Gatorade, alcohol, wine, beer, potato chips (other empty calories: pretzels, cheese curls), ice cream, cakes, cookies, donuts, sweetened juices should not be covered. I don’t think alcohol is covered, but so that doesn’t change, I am listing it. Only meat, poultry, fish, beans and legumes, cheese, vegetables and fruits should be covered. The government should do infomercials on quick, nutritious meals: roasted chicken, cheaper roasts with vegetables cooked around, macaroni and cheese from scratch, tuna casserole, turkey tetrazzini, beef stew, homemade soup. It is far cheaper, more nutritious to fix from scratch and stretches further than frozen dinners.
