Heaven forbid someone enjoys their life. I’d rather pay for this than billionaire tax cuts and the bloated military budget.
Truly the land of the free, lads.
It’s like painting over murals at detention centers where kids are housed… with gray paint. It definitely sends a message.
ITT: “You don’t deserve candy if you’re poor”
sorry that was mean
Like, yeah, its bad for me. I was hooked on it as a kid and I’m trying to cut back except so many people in my life eats shit-tons of sugar. I’m working on it, but I do not need the government telling me what I can and can’t eat just because I’m poor. I dunno, that seems mean. Maybe RFK should work on just banning them all together (unless you’re rich ofc). If its bad for me, its bad for you, too.
Let’s have a writing contest, you guys. Now that a Trump appointee is against it, let’s all think up reasons for why subsidized high-fructose corn syrup sold as food is not only a good thing but actually a basic human right.
I’m not saying we should ban these things, I’m just saying we shouldn’t be subsidizing them and purchasing them with public funds. If poor people want to buy this stuff with their own money that’s their right.
It’s a nanny state. Sure, candy and soda is bad for you, and america has an obesity problem, but I’m against this.
Just give people money and let them buy what they want / need.
I’m tired of pedophiles and gay homophobes shaming poor people for having a soda and a candy bar. (Edit: not my intention to associate lgbtq with pedophiles, but it seems a lot of homophobes are into it. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being gay, but republifuckers need to mind their own business in general and stop judging others for the behaviors they are ashamed to participate in themselves.)
It’s a nanny state.
I mean yea, but so is giving you money for food. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that the food you get with it to be nutritious.
Just give them money, I don’t care if they want hookers and blow
It’s none of your business what poor people spend their money on.
