Thats cool, but if you are using government money to buy food you should not have a say.
I agree. I don't think most able bodied people using government money to buy food should get the money. They should instead be issued as many 50 lb sacks of rice and beans as they can use for their family and maybe some canned corn, turnip greens, and vitamin C supplement to round out the protein and accommodate bare nutritional needs and nothing else. That would quite nicely stave off any hunger. Those who want steaks or other variety should get a job.
But when I buy my own food with money I worked for or otherwise honorably acquired, I don't want the government dictating to me what I can and cannot have.
The government should limit its influence in making the food supply as safe as reasonably possible and in providing the information to utilize the food for maximum benefit. It should not otherwise be requiring restaurants or anybody else to furnish certain foods and eliminate others. I have no problem with a requirement that the restaurant or other supplier furnish information on the content of the food.
Then let the free market work for a free people. If people aren't buying the high fat, high salt content foods, the suppliers will provide food they will buy. It's as simple as that.
I agree....
Those on welfare should be given gruel and roadkill to eat
Why should they eat as well as us 53%. ?
Even government commodities have their value. My mother used to babysit once in a while as a favor for a woman whose family was on commodities. My mother never charged her a dime, but the woman always insisted on paying and paid in butter and cheese. She didn't want to take handouts from the neighbors, you see.
