Going back to a "barter economy"?sounds socialist.
real Capitalists insist on legal tender, all the way!
Suddenly, the socialism is the problem. Beside that the Constitution doesnt grant the right to the state to do these kind of thing, since they're doing it... What's different between state providing money for food, or the state providing the food?
Oh, right. You agree to socialism, but only to your version of it.
The right wing is against, both, an ounce of prevention and a pound of cure; yet, allege to be for smaller, less socialized government.The democratic party doesn't perform abortions....Next....Think of all the money the Democratic Party has saved the nation by killing off all those potential future SNAP users.WTF does that have to do with your misinformation on SNAP?Not all whites owned slaves. They only supported the practice, enabling it to continue.Yet not all democrats are liberals.....It is an fallacy to assume they are....There are liberal republicans also...
True. They only provide tools and financing.
No recess? You must be peeling them off the ceiling by noon.Genetics plays a role in obesityYou know what, you're not even trying to be sensible here.what about the kids/parents that WANT to buy??
EAT WHAT WE TELL YOU TO EAT--nazi bastards
AND--it doesn't work--the kids throw the food away!!!
It is now well established that overweight and the different forms of obesity are conditions tending to concentrate within a family. Obesity risk is two to eight times higher for a person with a family history as opposed to a person with no family history of obesity,
this is a no brainer!!!!!!!!
it's more of a genetic problem
you will not change the children's habits in just one meal
they are throwing the food away
Schools dropping physical education isn't helping either.
And elementary schools skipping recess.
Yet, the right wing can let homelessness happen, especially in right to work States.Think how much more difficult it'll be to swap your benefits for crack. Imagine walking down to the street corner with all those cans.

Organics in a lot of cases is a scam.
Although I do love real organic chickens,they taste far better than your average grocery store chicken but I cringe when paying seventeen bucks for one.
A student of mine who is looking to establish an organic vegetable operation told me the same thing. All I know is, the cost is more about what we're willing to pay than what it costs the farmer to produce.If you've ever been really broke you'd understand that a boxful of food would be gratefully appreciated when the cupboard is literally bare.So it's OK for elected officials to not only tell you what to eat, but send you what they feel you should eat. What if one told you to "eat this"? Would you? After all, they were elected.Remember when Mrs. Obama talked about healthy food and the Republicans ranted and cried and screamed, "HOW DARE SHE TELL US WHAT TO EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!"?
What's your point? She wasn't elected, held no office and had no business telling us what to feed our children.
I was talking to a progressive at work yesterday who very haughtily told me, what if I choose to buy organic produce with my Food Stamps, and am willing to buy less? Why should someone tell me I have to eat something else?
He was never hungry either. Organic? Really?

I'm sorry to hear schools are doing that! That is contrary to everything we know about child development. Kids with ants in their pants aren't going to learn any more about the angles of triangles than the kids who had 20 minutes to play on the jungle gym or a bracing game of tag.No recess?

Oh, God no! I am fortunate that I can set the policy of recess for my own room. But up in traditional K- 8, the kids get @ 10 minutes after lunch. And other schools, in the name of academics, have severely limited or cut out recess, even for K.
My kids get at least 30 min a day.

You say in a lot of cases, organic is a scam. And, then you say organic chicken tastes far better. No, it doesn't. There's no difference in taste between organic and non-organic chicken, per se. There might be a difference in taste (and nutrition) by what the chickens are fed, but organic isn't a factor.

We have an excuse. Why is there Any homelessness in rightwing, alleged, Right to Work, States?
Organic produce is a scam.
It's hard on the environment because a lot more natural resources have to be used to produce the same amount of food. I've never heard of a study linking organic produce to better health. Organic produce tastes the same and has the same nutrition. Organic food idiots probably expose themselves to as many chemicals as anyone else, like bug sprays in the home and eating non-organic foods in restaurants.
What does this have to do with the common sense plan to replace some food stamps with food boxes?
My bad, I guess.Organic produce is a scam.

I always used MiracleGro and diatomaceous earth on the bugs. Is that organic?Organic produce is a scam.

I agree for the most part.
A lot of the problems with our fruits and veggies comes from picking before ripe so they make to market before they rot.
And tomatoes suck these days because they grow for appearance rather than flavor.
Home grown stuff is far better organic or not.

The most sensible argument I've heard against it yet is HOW are these boxes going to get to every recipient? Rural folks and disabled folks, etc., who can't get to a distribution center. Shipping a box of canned goods would cost a fortune, and since this population is highly mobile, and considering how long it takes the bureaucracy to process a change of address, it could get real messy. Would you be leaving the box outside the door of people who are out working to earn their food stamps? What would prevent your neighbor from stealing it?
It's a great idea on paper, but a lot of people think the logistics would be enormously complicated.
