If you want junk food. Get off of government assistance and get up and go to work everyday!
It's ridiculous how many self righteous and judgmental people are in these comments. While you guys are cheering about people not being allowed to get junk food, try thinking about something first.. there are people on SNAP that work every day but just don't make a lot of money, some of these people have children. Imagine it's your child's birthday and you want to get him or her a cake, but you can't because cake is now considered junk food. This is going to a scenario that happens to many. I get it.. the pro life party doesn't give a damn about any of these kids. They are only pro-birth. As for the mindless maggots that think this is great, just remember life can happen to any of us. Job losses, death, divorce and illness are real things. Karma has a way of coming to those who don't show empathy or compassion.
you want me to eat healthy,,raise my SNAP to 500$
Hopefully this will drive down obesity rates which are very high in the US. I can only assume that comes from junk food being consumed by so many.
then they better raise the snap payment.. two steaks 50$.. junk food 4.99$
but who's going to give the rules on what's junk food and what's not junk food. now candy yeah Candy's junk food. a lot of people think chips is junk food. yet in the summertime lots of people down south Texas Florida Louisiana here in New Mexico or it's a California of course we make burgers or something and we eat chips. he's going to say what's junk food a bunch of politicians.
this is coming from Trump whom eats strictly McDonalds🤦♂️
So only the upper class are allowed to eat junk foods now?
well if they do that the should allow herbal tea....food stamps don't cover kumbacha or dandelion root tea....remember the total population is not receiving food stamps....so everybody else get to eat unhealthy ....so how does this help the total population with obesity if 90 percent is still eating unhealthy....WAKE UP PEOPLE...another form of control....so now they tell us what to do with our body's it's going to far to much control. also why are they assuming all people receiving benefits eat unhealthy.
punish the poor....punish the kids...makes no sense....
I want to know why people suddenly think they have the right to regulate the diets of anyone on assistance. They get a set amount of grocery money every month - wtf do you get to dictate what groceries they spend it on? It doesn't decrease the tax dollars provided, so who tf are you to have a say in what they eat? Get over yourselves. You think those kids don't deserve to have some chips with their damn pb&j sandwich while you're munching down on some Jersey Mikes/ Firehouse Sub/ where ever expensive ass unhealthy subs and chips? Mind your own business. You won't pay a dollar more or a dollar less in taxes, no matter what they choose.
JFK has a lot of nerve he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth had all the snacks he wanted and wasted while others were going without give me a break
Good forces the ignorant irresponsible parents to feed their kids healthy foods instead of junk foods.🌸
just another way for the government to dictate what you do and all the ass clowns that go along with it no one should be able to be told regard to how they purchased it that's what they can eat and what they can't eat I don't care how you think that's my personal opinion.
I weigh 125, and am 65. I think I'm old enough to choose what I eat. Bunch of idiots
only problem I see with this is the cost of healthy foods. healthy food is far more expensive for some odd reason. therefore they'll get less food as a whole
SNAP benefits should be for commodities only. Not junk food, fast food or frozen foods. Premade frozen foods are convenient but expensive and usually full of additives and preservatives. If you can’t afford convenience, learn to cook. I can feed 8 people for less than 10.00 with leftovers for the week.
This is the most ridiculous thing ever. SNAP food should not be pleasant. People need to be motivated to get off SNAP. It’s to convenient and nice. Needs to cover, milk, eggs, bread, and canned goods (canned meat and canned veggies). That’s it !!! That’s all you get. And limited quantities so you can’t resell to buy cigarettes.
so stupid. this is what our tax paying dollars is going to regulate. how about cheaper food like trump promised!!!
40% of the food sold in the U.S. is banned in Europe. Shouldn't the FDA fulfill its regulatory role and restrict carcinogenic food byproducts from entering our supermarkets in the first place.
☝🏿🤡
Good! If you want junk, pay cash! I believe we need to make more Healthy choices for meals!! ❤️
In California there are fast food restaurants that accepts SNAP. Ridiculous
First they decided what people eat and next where they go
make healthy groceries affordable then!! thats why people goes to not so healthy items like ramen, and such.
I would rather be able to get a pet food than junk food.
how can he do that? he done took snap out. the way this man,is going your elected president🥰🌸will get rid of everyone in America who doesn't have at least 10,000,000.
they think soda is the big reason why get over weight people, hahaha....
This is only the beginning, to the end of a lot.... But hey this is what y'all wanted now deal with it!!!!
I don’t want to pay for that as a taxpayer
So the Farmer's Market was there this time. It won't be anywhere again. Let's see Congress and the cabinet lead by example. They won't and can't.
Chill out people if they do this you’ll still be able to have tons of junk food you’ll just have to make homemade. Food stamps will still pay for just about all the ingredients you’ll need to make tons of junk food like homemade ice cream, pies, cookies, cakes, chips, donuts, etc when it comes to drinks I don’t know. 🤷♂️ I believe we should stop the purchase of junk food on snap benefits as I’m a strong believer of eating healthy and making homemade food.
Sounds like another control tactic aimed at the needy. 🤔
Yay now kids in Oklahoma are 50th in Education AND also don’t get birthday cakes now 👍🏼 You republicans really showed them kids huh!
What the should do is reduce the amount of help given from month to month to force them to get jobs.
In the 60s and 70s we did not allow anything with sugar and water in their drinks and canned food, to be bought with food stamps. This is not new 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Obama changed it.
well you company's that supported trump.with you're donations ready to go out of business 🤔
America needs to get back to cooking and doing healthy things for their kids Stop the steak and lobster crap that takes up your whole snap payment. .And get off the junk food.
Rethuglicans way EVERY DAY TAKE take nursing home closing SNACKS taking away people on SNAP work and pay taxes also
If you want people to eat healthier, you need to either increase their benefits for the price of healthier food or work on making healthier food more affordable. I have seen 80 year olds not be able to afford the trip to the grocery store, so they buy food at the local dollar store, there aren't healthy foods at Dollar Tree. They get $90 a month. The math doesn't work. Meet inflation on food with SNAP and people will eat better because they can.
Some people who receive snap paid their taxes for that
Regardless what yall say this world is becoming a communist country who are they to tell ppl what they eat ? Just my two cents it’s all about control people wake up
If you can afford fake nails eyelashes and eyebrows fancy designer purses and clothes, alcohol , cigarettes, marijuana, you can afford real healthy food. Cut back on non necessities and you can afford anything
Force them to eat home cooked healthy options.. ....like us Seniors WITHOUT government SNAP!!!
I work my butt off and my husband owns a small business. Every week I go to the grocery and I cannot afford soda or sweets, it’s just not in the budget. I cook 7 days a week. If I have a full time job and buy groceries out of my paycheck and cannot afford sweets then someone who receives food stamps should not be able to buy it either. If you receive food stamps you can’t afford it either!!!!!!
when obama did this why didn't people get upset?
I don't know of any black person still on / get snaps, so who are they talking about?
Their administration is all about punishing and taking things away from the poor. Let's work on improving:Better access to healthcare, reduce control from insurance companies. The amount of prior authorizations needed for medically necessary treatments is ridiculous. Also, replenish food deserts with health food. Rich areas always have healthy food options. Also, its ridiculous how much they charge.
so you guys are mad the government won't give you money to buy chips and chocolate funnel cakes anymore? 😭😭😭
about time
d on t ever think ur life r can't turn upside down at 65 my husband died family issues and my dog and I on the street, try cooking in the car ,or keeping nutritious food, social security checks don't cover rent in fl
They are to assist you in being able to get healthy foods to feed your body and keep you healthy.
another government power grab, they just want to control the American people, whatz next republican you guys suck
Awsom keep up the great work.
Folk will still buy j,food, with or without snaps
glad trump done that they don't need junk food trump needs to take people off of food stamps who abuse it go trump good job
I think they are banning the wrong things!! Nobody cares if somebody on Food Stamps is buying chips and candy & pop!! But what I DO care about are the ones who dont wanna work & are able to eat better then the ones who are busting our azzess! and gotta get up & go to work and still can't afford to buy certain foods! NOWAY should you be able to buy "luxury" type foods like steaks & shrimps & Lobster etc!!! THOSE ARE NOT NECESSARY FOODS!! And should be banned from using food stamps to purchase!!
Well, just get rid of the Junk Food period. If it's not available, then theres no decisions to be made.
Snap should only pay for beans rice fruit & vegetables.
