That’s right your snacks and all your favorite junk foods and sodas are in jeopardy. There a some lawmaker that want to restrict the use of food stamps when purchasing “junk food”. SNAP, which stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, will ban the purchases of junk food , snacks and soda that are considered unhealthy. I know what you’re think, “How are they gonna tell me what I can and can’t buy to eat?” Here’s the short answer, they’re the “GOVERNMENT”, enough said.
I understand they are concerned and want to help those of us receiving assistance via the Food Stamp Program, but come on. I actually read those nutritional labels and it surprises me to see how much sugar, sodium, trans and saturated fat is in junk food and soda, but check the labels on your kids favorite cereals, fruit juices and frozen meals. Maybe they could have considered limiting the amount of “junk/snack foods and soda you can purchase with food stamps.
Wait, could all this mean the the government only cares about the health of those of us receiving welfare? What about those of us who don’t receive it? Hey here’s another thought, what about putting PE classes back in schools that might help kids get health too. OK, I’m off my soap box. Get ready Indy because this program could be coming to a supermarket near you.
