Topic	Trump administration wants to dictate what kind of food poor people eat

The package was described in the budget as consisting of "shelf-stable milk, ready to eat cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned fruit and vegetables." The boxes would not include fresh fruits or vegetables. Great. None of that is healthy besides the veggies. You might aswell let people buy mcdonalds. Cereal is healthy as long as you fortified low sugar stuff like cheerios or corn flakes. Peanut butter is healthy in moderation. Gives you a bit of fiber, protein, vitamin E etc. I do think there should be some way to limit or nudge people on food stamps towards healthier choices especially if the government wants to pay for health care. Perhaps they could track what you buy with SNAP and if a certain percent of your purchases are healthy you get a "bonus" --- I'm Mary Poppins y'all. http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/665/328/d75.gif <cite>pikachupwnage posted [p:896002588] in Trump admi...
