@@NorthlandSLC Thanks for reminding about that common sense nostalgia. Seems I remember a little something about special distribution places of real foods (ex cheese) in black & white labels you reference for the needy. Families were given a certain amt of these items according to family size. No junk food was distributed. Back then, extra effort to acquire a job as soon as possible to avoid needing black & white label handouts was a motivation among people we knew. The quality of the free items were as good as in the store with more colorful packaging.

When my children were little, I was a part of the W.I.C. Program… they had specific requirements for purchasing milk, cereal, eggs and cheese. You couldn’t purchase processed foods like Kraft cheese slices, the cheese had to come from the deli or block real cheese. Why do the people who use SNAP think that they should be able to purchase junk food with their benefits?? Rules apply for everyone??!

[@TrueSighted]

Why do those who are well off think the poor deserve less rights and freedoms than they have and take for granted? They should have the same freedom to use the funds given to them to buy the foods that they need, and that work for them, as you do! Even if that means the occasional treat. What your suggesting isn't help, its control and manipulation! And there's more than enough of that in this system already! Leave the poor alone! Focus on getting rid of all the crappy additives in our food if you want to help make people healthier again. You can't force it on people. Only give them better options to choose from, by making sure real non tainted foods are available! And accessible by those most in need. If you have ever been stuck living below the poverty level, You'd know the choices of affordable food without all the crap additives in it is almost nonexistent! People going through difficult times likely need comfort food far more than you do, and should every right to use their freedom, and get a little when they need it. Especially when the funds were given to them to use as needed! You don't get to micromanage their lives just because they are hurt or sick!

Take the toxic chemicals food additives out of the snacks. Make American food standards meet the European standards for safety. People can make their own decisions

[@r.r.r.918]

I agree that chemical food additives should be removed and that people, specifically consumers, can make their own decisions; however, people receiving SNAP are not consumers, rather they are government beneficiaries of aid and as such the government can and should restrict what those people buy with other people's tax dollars. SNAP recipients should not be able to buy anything but unprocessed food, dairy, and produce.

[@lisaroriguez4196]

@r.r.r.918 I comprehend what you're saying but it seems a bit unconstitutional? Perhaps if there was some sort of incentive program if you use $50 of your benefit towards fresh fruit a.nd produce then you get an additional $50 for more fresh fruits and produce. If you choose to buy processed snacks you are limited to the amount that you are given. Incentivize people to make better choices. When you have government intervening and telling people what they can and can not do we end up in the trouble that we have found ourselves in the last 5 years.

[@r.r.r.918]

@@lisaroriguez4196 As a practical matter, your suggestion might be better in that it would cause less pushback (though I do worry about the waste and fraud that might arise because of it). Constitutionally, I think there is nothing stopping the government from restricting funds in the manner I suggested. Constitutional Considerations: Government Spending and Regulation: The federal government has broad discretion under the Spending Clause (Article I, Section 8) to impose conditions on how funds are used. This includes restricting SNAP benefits to certain types of food. Courts have generally upheld such conditions as long as they are reasonable and serve a legitimate public purpose. Equal Protection Clause (14th Amendment): If SNAP restrictions or incentives disproportionately affect specific groups (e.g., racial, socioeconomic, or regional demographics), there could be an Equal Protection challenge. However, courts usually apply rational basis review for economic and social welfare policies, requiring only that the policy be rationally related to a legitimate government interest (e.g., promoting public health). Due Process and Autonomy: While I understand your concern about government intervention infringing on personal choices, SNAP benefits are not considered an individual’s property or entitlement in the same way as private funds. Recipients agree to terms of use upon acceptance. As such, restrictions on the use of public funds do not typically violate due process rights.

Return the food stamp program to what is was. Only for generic labels and real food. No name brands equals no lobbyists. They had lists of things you couldn’t buy back then, and lists for things you got a better deal for. The cashier had to ask if it was food stamps and there were different price lists used. Make a new price list for healthy food at a lower price for snap. Instead of giving extra money to the snap user give it to the healthy product to make it more affordable to the snap user.

Bulletin: It is possible not to eat junk food. Vote with your feet and don't buy it. You'll be amazed how quickly these corporations change their tune once their sales drop.

[@geosdev]

Thank you for this comment.. I had almost assumed all sanity had left the planet.

[@Soulreactions]

They are clearly getting paid to poison us they would just get subsidized just like movies and games have been over the years. The agenda is king

[@justme1205]

Ban the bad stuff..but you can't regulate what people eat..people have freedom of choice.

[@anitamccormick3184]

People will still be allowed to buy junk food if they want it. They just can't buy it with Snap benefit money.

[@geosdev]

@@anitamccormick3184 If you aren't controlling what your neighbor eats.. you aren't really living!! You go girl!

[@Celestial-City]

​@@anitamccormick3184 What you going to do with that attitude is force people into voting Democrat and now not will you not control what goes into poor people refrigerators, but you won't control who comes across the border

[@tinawalker9138]

No, this is the right way to do this. Saying that because you are poor (on snap benefits) you can't have snacks... no no no. Ban it to all not just a group.

[@danielgant2214]

All those unhealthy ingredients need to be removed and banned forever.

[@CynymonGirl]

Make food healthy again!

[@geosdev]

Eat the bugs!

[@user-ox9pn4uh2k]

Standing in line at a fast serve market and people are buying their energy drinks, donuts and jerky sticks with ebt. Such a slap in the face!

[@THECOMMUNIONOFLUCIFER-zl6kx]

[@geosdev]

NEIN! DAS WILST NOT EAST THEE FRUITLOOPS!!!! DEY ARST BANNINUMEN IN EUROPE SINCE THE END OF DER GLORIOUS RIKENHOMEN! DUST KNOWEN SAS MAKIN DU CRAZY?

[@rachelalexander5239]

We need to go by what the UK has in their food.

[@geosdev]

Yes all food must be completely tasteless and bland! Reminds me of the Jolly channel and UK people crying and moaning how lucky Americans are for their food.. lol

[@Dodeedo980]

That's impossible considering there's thousands of neighborhoods that are barely accessible to even a small market ... And that is all that's on the shelves! Junk food is better than no food! What good is snap if the consumer isn't able to utilize it!?

[@hollybishop484]

It's a no brainer. I remember arguing with a lady that was on food stamps about how she should be able to use her card to pay for her daughters birthday party because she deserved it. Even though those of us who weren't on food stamps couldn't afford to do the same. She didn't care.

[@AWAKE_PA]

All for it. Unfortunately, most American's do not know they are killing themselves because of ingredients in foods that taste good, while they can cook the same foods 100% healthy.

[@victorp8120]

Ban liquor and cigarettes while u at ....what happened to you have a choice what u put in your body RFK

[@iano.3780]

This is ridiculous! Rich people oppressing the poor. What about people on fixed incomes this is so messed up.

[@purplestareye]

Take THE POISON OUT OF THE FOOD NOT FOOD POLICE ONLY THE POOR!

[@jerrywilliams9105]

RFK, JR. WILL COURSE CORRECT VERY SOON. CONSCIOUS AMERICANS SUPPORT RFK FULLY!!! !!!!!

[@ShiloStigen]

100% agree! When I was a Schawn's man I used to process ice cream sales with EBT! It makes no sense to use govt funding for sweets and junk food.

[@ErayMehmet-z8h]

There is no project like XAI330w...it is literally owned by Elon Musk

[@willmcgee4969]

Scam

[@GMaxVerd]

GREAT HOST, THANK YOU

[@salvatorerusso5452]

Ban seed oils!!!

[@Hancock-r2v]

I 100% agree I'm a cashier at a store and I see the majority of SNAP benefits spent on sodas candy and b******* and I sit there and go what the hell are these people doing cuz I've been on snap and I only use it for real food this needs to be happening I've been thinking about this this whole last 2 weeks how SNAP benefits are completely taken advantage of there's way too many people on this s***

[@ugk26]

I’ve been saying this for years if you’re getting money from the government, you shouldn’t be allowed to buy booze and tobacco. Yeah that’s a real thing.

[@austin6800]

the child tax credit doesn't need to be increased its fine where its at if u cant afford kids don't have them use protection until u can afford too. how about decreasing taxes for single people or married people who doesn't get big tax refunds back at the end of the year unlike people with kids getting 8k 10k plus back at tax time.

[@BillieFitzgerald-gr5tj]

Amen

[@MisterEae]

Poor people are currently being poisoned. If this change occurs you will rapidly see the neighborhood tiny grocery stores, convenience stores and bodegas stock health foods that are covered by snap.

[@giacomopace5118]

No more junk food, no more poison in our food

[@Dave-rz5wl]

Good good great idea. We’ve been saying it forever.

[@brandenforrer2603]

💯 %

[@ItsSquallyWally]

Oh heck no, these people have never had to survive while having a job & still needing help to pay for food. They have no room to talk without ever having food insecurities. Some people can only afford processed food & pre made packs of stuff, some homeless people that receive ebt dont have a kitchen to cook fresh food in, these takes are so out of touch.

[@donnakreye8339]

You make some excellent points about cost and ability to prepare. Thank you!

[@haplessgolem805]

Tread lightly. Someone needs to define "junk food"... and there are plenty of lobbyists prepared to pay for said definitions. Keep your eyes and ears open.

[@geosdev]

Easy.. anything that isn't a bug.. How can 'YOU' be healthy if your environment isn't healthy!

[@wanderingnature114]

No way this dudes kids are ACTUALLY in a day care. Smh...
