Do you think food stamps should only cover healthy foods?

Question

In my opinion, all sugary foods like soda and junk foods shouldn’t be covered by food stamps. I believe they should only cover healthy foods.

Answer

No. Kids in poverty deserve treats every now and then too...

Answer

The hatred America has for poor people is unreal. Jesus, let families enjoy a bag of cheetos.

Answer

No. People buy junk food because it stretches further. If you wanna do that then get ready to pay more money for it. And btw people with food stamps have to be working 20 hours or more a week or have a child under 5 in my state to receive it. So they are also paying for it just like you are. Oh and on top of that, it’s none of your business 😊

Answer

No.  The problem isn't that people only buy junk on food stamps.  It's because healthy food is much more expensive.  The other day, I spent almost $6 on grapes that I'll get three snacks out off.  But some stores run a 10 for $10 special on personal pizza which will feed someone for several days.  There's meat our family doesn't buy anymore, not because we don't want it, but because it's just so expensive.  Some fruits are now considered a luxury for me, yet I can get a large pack of cookies for $1.50 and eat off of it for two weeks.  
I don't deny that people with food stamps buy a lot of food that's considered 'junk'.  I was a cashier for 5 years and saw it all the time.  But unless you've been on food stamps yourself and had that be the only way you were going to eat, there's no room for judgement on what people buy with it.

Answer

Mind ur business.. so only well off ppl deserve chips & candy ? WTH it's weird tht ppl care about that kind of thing. Just bc ur poor doesn't mean you don't deserve a little "luxury" once in a while. Like someone said the hatred for poor ppl is sickening.

Answer

I do believe there needs to be a little more restriction on certain items. Just my opinion.

Answer

No 
Cause everyone deserves some snacks
