Do u believe people on food stamps should buy junk food 🍔

There is a huge uproar on Tik Tok about this current issue today. States are now putting limitations on what you can purchase with EBT cards.
No more chips and soda and sweets can be bought anymore through the SNAP program. And
that you can only buy fruits, vegetables, bread, dairy and meats. Hmmmmm.
Do you believe that this is fair ? Do you believe the government should be telling US what to eat.
The floor is yours SW. Best answer wins.☺🍊

I don't believe the "snack food industry," or it's largest producers like Frito Lay, or Coca Cola, are going to like that. The entire industry will lose billions.
Not to mention this is a "right wing" idea and I find it very interesting how the right keeps calling for smaller government yet endors policies that require a larger and larger government.

@calicuz how does this equate to larger government?

@calicuz I don't think those corporations will like this either. But I don't think it's going to necessarily hurt them given how much money they do make annually outside of food stamps customers. People are going to eat. 😂

The oversight and added inspections will require more government employees.

@calicuz I don't see that as a reasonable outcome at all. I think you're stretching for something that just isn't there.

Not really, but it is more likely that Corporate America would have a larger influence to reverse this action.
