Who thinks junk food should be banned by users of food stamps?

Question

I'm not trying to offend people, and I do care if they are killing their kids and themselves because of obesity. It is troubling to see this happening all the time in convenience stores They are very expensive for junk food!

Answer 1

Food stamps as a handout should be to provide the essentials not the frills. If someone wants the frills they should have all of them that they can earn.

Answer 2

I don't think one can blame the poor for using food stamps to get junk food. Healthy produce is often much more expensive than junk food. I think the government should think of a better way to make sure the needy are fed properly, and not to ban users of food stamps to purchase specific foods.

Answer 3

I see your point to an extent. People should feed their children healthy food as well as be eating healthy themselves. But this is still a free country so people who receive the benefits of food stamps can buy whatever type of food they want.

Answer 4

Yes but I kinda don't blame the poor because the junk food is usually what they can get at the lowest prices.

Answer 5

They should be able to buy whatever food they like, healthy + junk.

Answer 6

I don't think that foodstamps should be used at convenience stores. That would stop a lot of it.

Answer 7

why do you care just let the people eat what they want!! kids need and will eventually want to get candy and the parents who can't afford it will feel bad evry kid should be able to get free candy !!!!!! ughhhh ur so greety

Answer 8
