Not everyone who is on Foodshare or using State aided programs are lazy. In my opnion these programs were created to help families in need. Yes there are individuals who misuse and abuse the system. Does this make it right to make children and individuals who do not abuse the system to be punished? How is cutting way back on WIC and Foodshare going to help those who justly need it? In my life I have had the need to use such programs. I have always worked, but that does not mean life does not throw curve balls at unexpected times. It entirely depends upon the intergity of the individual who is on these programs whether or not they will use the assistance wisely or not. As a country we need to wise up and train up our children with honesty and intergity.
So you force the poor to eat more unhealthy. they end up going to doctor for intervention, pharmaceuticals. Who Pays? you the community! Healthy eating returns money to pockets of citizens.
I don't know where you people shop, but a lot all-natural and organic items really aren't all that much more expensive than the non-organic stuff nowadays, dues to the rise in popularity and availability of organic choices.
And shell color of an egg has no difference in nutritional value of the egg. It's based on the breed of chicken that laid it. I think a dozen brown eggs at my locally owned grocery is about thirty cents more than a dozen white shelled eggs. And the price jump comes just because brown shell layer breeds typically don't lay as prolifically as a white shell Leghorn-type breed. Is that really that big of a deal that it needs to be exempted?
Hmmm... maybe if you were eating organic milk and free range eggs your view of the world wouldn't be so unhealthy. I would rather poor people eat these healthier things than need massive medical care brought about by eating unhealthier GMO/processed foods. It is actually cheaper in the long run to eat healithier food. Most of the people eating this food are CHILDREN and child labor is banned here.
